The Strongest Survive
Stalk the weaker players first; it is always better to pick up a kill from a shieldless or damaged foe than engaging in a 1v1 duel.
Tip for the Top Middle
Although tempting, it’s almost never a good idea to rush Top Middle for kills unless you spawn at the Open Ramp. Top Middle is where incompetent players leap around, waiting to be shot. However, charging Top Middle from Open Ramp allows you to pick up a kill or two by stealing them from weakened players already fighting one another. This is quicker than heading to Bottom Middle and taking a longer route looking for kills.
Sneaky Ledge Clambering
Use the Sneaky ledges to your advantage as much as possible when engaging and disengaging the enemy. The two ledges in question allow you to reach Top Middle at two different locations: the Blue/Red Landing or the lower Tunnels on both sides.
Where to Nade
Employ grenades at the Ramps whenever possible. You can pick up easy kills by throwing Frag Grenades into these areas (where players are spawning or fighting). Top Middle is a heavily trafficked area where constant fighting occurs; this is another option for easy nade kills with Frag Grenades.
Hide and Sneak
You don’t need to fully expose yourself to the entire field of battle by jumping out to finish off kills. There are windows on the Blue/Red Streets, and these gaps allow you to see the Top Middle and bottom Tunnels; search for foes here and pick up some safe kills. You stay healthy with these takedowns, instead of being weakened through pointless fights. So, sit at one of the Street windows, popping off foes. When one enters the Street near your position, engage them in a 1v1 duel with a full shield and with a rack of kills already completed!
