General tips The losing team will have a thing called the comeback mechanic that will allow them to capture the point at +3.9% per tick Never panic ult or ult to try to secure a point push. Most times it is a wasted ult and you won’t have it for the next capture if your push fails. Jumping while facing a wall will allow you to jump higher. Try to stagger enemies respawn times. Delay easy 5v1/2 kills to ruin their respawn times and potentially gain time while they wait to regroup AVOID STAGGERING If you are the only person alive on your team, in a 1v5 try to die as soon as possible to avoid a stagger Players on a killstreak give increased credits and ult charge when killed 11 killstreak = +60% ult charge 15+ killstreak = 100% ult charge. Zoning is very important, If the enemy team has been wiped push to their spawn to dismount and delay the enemy team from rejoining the teamfight Peaking to right of cover reveals less of hitbox than peaking left Being near the payload heals for 50 hp per second At the start of each round/after each death, choose an enemy to target based on impact.
