Tips
There are several pieces of advice we want to share with you. It’s not necessarily the only way to play this mode, but if you’re struggling with getting eliminations, check em out:
- Planning ahead is fatal - it’s much more effective to react to the situation at hand. There’s so much going on at all times in FFA matches, that having a plan and sticking to it doesn’t really bear fruit.
- Get a hang of fast weapon switching with a double-tap. In this mode every millisecond counts, and being a quick draw is a huge advantage.
- Stealing is good! If you see 2 people fighting nearby, and for some reason, they don’t see you, try and eliminate them both. Start with the weaker ones, and then finish off the stronger ones.
- Go for the result! Making YouTube videos with the most reckless rushes is cool and all, but if you wish to win, it’s fine to eliminate someone from behind with a shotgun and not risk switching to your knife for the Blademaster.
- Running and hiding isn’t really an option. You can give this tactic a try, but running and gunning is far better score-wise.
- Keep moving! You never know who’s just spawned behind you and is already aiming at your head through the scope. So keep strafing, using cover and most definitely – not running in a straight line.
Also, here are the top-down maps to help you navigate and survive! During the first half of the event, you'll be playing on Mexico: Mansion and Mexico: Canyon maps.
Mexico: Hacienda and Mexico: Plateau maps will unlock during the second half of the event and replace the first two maps.
That’s all, get to the battlegrounds and show em what you got!
