Tips and tricks
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
