heres a good strategy

Unread post by Haxwehttam »

general

scattergun vs FaN

with scattergun jump more often because you will need to but keep your crosshairs on the enemy
with FaN jumping less because when you shoot in air youll be launched and there will be a split second where the enimy can look in your direction aim where youre going to be then shoot (if theyre good enough this will happen mostlikely not tho dont worry)
also with fan you can reach higher hieghts and jump farther than you could before to new ledges

Pistol does damage fairly descently from far awayand it much more accurate
bonk can be used as a sentry destractor (sometimes) and a way to get out withotu damage (also from fire)

bat (nothin special)
sandman lesshealth but you can alt fire and stun people (thankfully it isnt AS autoaimed as it once was)
if you have it and are using it then hit them when ever possible (however becareful of solly cause he will shoot the ground if youre too close


if ur facing off against heavies (and you will) then thebest thing to do is to run all over the place and jump in many different directions even use ur double jump to jump the opposite way
if youre predictable then theyr going to aim ahead of you and kill u
and dont be afraid of jumping on their head most heavies dont even notice since youre moving so fast
with bonk youre more of a distraction in my opinions (since you WILL die if you cant get away)
- with sandman your best bet is to aim higher and hit them, if you hit then their sitting ducks just get close and shoot them but be on your toes cause they wont stay bonked so as soon as they pull out their gun jump around
its harder to do afterwards but you can stun them again (becareful you have less health)
- and if they are eating their sandvich then try to kil them as quickly as possible with continuous pointblank shots
(its been done before yet again if he gets his gun out jump around)
- watch out for fists because every once and a while theyl get them out because youre so close
just get behind them and hit them as mucha s possible before they turn around

also circle strafe (where you strafe arond them in a circle)

facing a soldier do the samething but they are more likely to aim up or rocket jump so keep youre distance and use youre pistol if you have one dont get too close cause even splash damage can kill you
- if they have the equalizer out then dont get neer them because the only reason to get it out is because they have low health or even for the lols chances are they will hurt you badly with it out
-bonk them with your ball if possible but becareful because once they stop beign stunnedthey will prolly shoot the ground



Pyros
they suck
dont get close ever and its best to avoid them but if you cant then keep your distance and stay away from fire cause you only have so much health.
bonk but youve been warned about their fire
if you think you can kill a pyro from upclose withou getting burnt then goodluck


other scouts are just as fast and can do as much damage
with scattergun or FaN you will have to run and jump and run and jump (more running tho)
just shoot them and they will die (aslong as you hit them while avoiding getting hit)
aim your crosshairs slightly ahead of them if theyr close and aim at them if faraway (most dont like evading boolets)



Engis
if their alone then they wil be no problem just watch for their shotguns because it still does about 90 if they hit you right

but chances are youre going to see them with a sentry
lvl1sentry - run around the corner ans strafe around the sentry while killing it (if you learn how to circle strafe then youll be much easier off (same applies against heavies)
dont take headon from far away
lvl 2 aroudn a corner do the same thing but dont take head on from faraway
lvl 3 avoid unless ur far away then shoot with pistol get achievement ??? then profit
bonks i think dont truely help (only if the room helps you get shot in the direction you want to go
bonk will make you fly with a sentry and for me they always end up wher i take fall damage or get stuck in a corner and then shot repeadedly with rockets

dont get caught in the air after your second or third jump because most engis for somereason have done "target practice" and they can get atleast 1 clean 60+ shot on you


demos aka "black scottish cyclops"

just try to stay away from their line of sight and their bombs
nothing special just jump around
watch out for their eyelander because if you run away in a straight line theyl dash right up to u and cut ur head rigt off so just dont run away from them unles ur good at running backwards while jumping

snipers
they have less of a chance to but you can run up to them while straffing back and forth while shoting them and then getting up close to them and shooting them with your primary
run all over the place if youre far away and maybe even just get behind a wall and wait or dont pay attention to them if youre amongst a group theyl pick off the heavies first
stun them if you can
avoid melee they have been known to lag and hit you from 20 feet away


medics
watch for their saws theyl cut you up besides that theyr easy

basic manuever is you get up close to them with primary then when they switch to either saws then go backwards to midrange and shoot with pistol then when they run at you with the needleguns run clsoe to them again (allwhile jumping since its the best thing you have to avoid dieing besides a brick wall or a heavy)
but watch out for their blutsuagers cause they get health from it
if theyr with a heavy or another kind of person just avoid them and kill the medic

KILL THE MEDIC
KILL HIM
your team will thank you

are spycrabs making you itch? just dont stand still and just jump around (less leniant on it because spies have less firepower and have just normal health
spies can backstab you if you get too close

spies can also sometimes be behidn you when running backwards so also straffe if the other team has been known to have spies




basicly just jump around runaround and shoot at things that move

if i missed anything put it in your post

With engi, the shotgun can do 90 damage on a clean hit, not just 50.
