Solo

-if you are the solo kind of guy, like me. You don’t really have anyone to rely on for helping you out. You have the Calvary back where you split, but you are really on your own. You need to be very alert and ready to go.. You should be extra quiet. And extra sneaky. The main job of the solo guy is to pick off the strays or set up the opponent for your team, or for a strategic move. Take your time. Don’t risk giving yourself away.

Encounters

-when you encounter the enemy you have to determine if they know where you are or not and if they know where your team mates are or not.. If it looks like they have no clue then sit and wait.. Get low and hide.. Wait until you know you can hit them and pick them all off. You have to be watching too, if one starts running away, make sure you don’t lose him. Get him out at all costs before he could have the chance or warning the others. But if you waited long enough you should be able to get them all, unless it was just one and maybe 3-5 of them..
- if you are out numbered in an encounter and are not noticed, you need to decide if you can take them all out or if you have no chance or if you want to take as many out as you can before you get shot. I either hide and let them by or go blazing and take them out and don’t worry about me.. Like I said, losing one guy but taking 3 or so of theirs in the process is worth it. Unless your team is hurting and running low on players.. In which case you should regroup and take them on together.

- If you are with more then one guy and are about to be encountered and they know you are there. Then get ready. Try pinning them down soon and getting guys to go around. Make sure you have good cover and good shooting lanes. Keep informed of their locations if you see one moving let your team know. Communication is your friend in shootouts. Don’t get tunnel vision on the guy you’re mostly shooting at. Still keep an eye out for a new location if things get too intense or keep an eye out for flankers or other team mates joining.
-If you are alone and you are about to encounter and they know you are there. Get great cover and try to hold your own, or take off.
-If you are solo and you hear an encounter take advantage. You now have to chance to easily get around and flank or come from behind, the enemy will be distracted by the people that are shooting at them. You still have to be sneaky though, you can’t just run around because you think they won’t be paying attention.
- If you encounter one other guy and you both see each other, then hurry and get the better position. And get him out quickly because the gunfire will attract his team mates. And also it will come down to just camping and shooting from your bunkers. In which case, move. Get out and force him to move too. Much better chance of hitting him if he isn’t in a bunker. And the same goes for you, still keep behind trees and stuff.
-Now say you were encountered and you didn’t know they were there… get down. At first shot, just get down. Then from there crawl to the nearest bunker or good cover. If you had team mates with you get locations ASAP. If you were by yourself it’s going to be tough. Get good cover then go back to what I said about if you encounter more then one guy when by yourself.

Cover

-trees are also your friend. Fat trees are awesome, great cover. You can even stand behind them, though I don’t recommend standing. But skinnier trees can be difficult; usually trees have a mound or have growth at the base of them. Get down on the ground and use this as cover. Many trees together are good too.
-Bushes. Thick bushes are good to stop balls, thin bushes are good for you get shoot through. But the enemy can shoot through too. So be careful
-weeds, tall weeds are good to hide in, keep you well hidden but also you can shot through them if the enemy goes by.
-Fallen branches and trees provide good cover. On some you can get right in there and use it as a pillbox type thing.
-Water, whether it is creeks, puddles, flooded areas. Water can be good. If you aren’t worried about getting wet and getting you equipment wet then get in those creeks and puddles. Also creeks usually fall into creek beds and you can use the wall of the creek bed to hide from people above.

Finding the Opponent

-Look for movement, they maybe plastered in camo or a guillie suit, but movement will still give them away.
-Shiny spots, mask lenses are very visible when the sun hits them.
-Skin, white skin is easy to spot when it’s against the greens of the woods.
-Abnormal colours Look very closely
-Listen, in the woods it’s very easy to hear someone coming. Don’t be fooled by the wind or falling braches, nuts, leaves. A person sounds a lot different then anything else.

Tagging the Opponent

-Best way is to hide very well and wait for them to come to you. Wait until they are close, should be an easy/clear tag.
-In a shoot out, get moving. Get around him force him out of bunker to open him up. Now we will have much more body open for a hit.
-Use speedball tactics. Snap shooting, going out then staying out waiting for them to pop back out.
Do anything you can to expose them so you can hit something.
-Look for hopper, many players will hide and completely forget that they have a thing on the top of their guns and will leave it sticking out of the top of their cover. When I had powerfeed I would turn my hopper side ways ands down so I could get higher in the cover and not risk it getting shot.
-If you can’t make the tag, then set it up so some one else on your team can. Put down cover fire, hold the player down, or push him towards an ambush.

Down to one more guy

-you’ve made it this far. Down to on more guy. All too many times I see guys get sloppy or cocky when there’s one guy left. If anything, you should be more careful. That one guy is going to be playing harder then he has all game. It’s all up to him now, his adrenaline is going to be pumping and he is psyched. Just because there is one guy left doesn’t mean the game is a wrap, I’ve seen games completely go the over way before, because the winning team underestimated the last guy. Be careful and take him out.

Sneaky Tricks

-carry some rocks or look for some. Throw them to distract or lead the enemy to a different area.
-Sticks work well too. So do paintballs. If you can afford to lose some paint and can’t find any rocks, then throw paint.
-If you're playing Stock class, then throw your empty 12 grams.
-Place an extra mask or sweater to distract the enemy into thinking a player is there.
