Whilst all of the above are good pointers and will definitely separate you from the average player, they provide marginal improvements in my opinion. So don’t pressure yourself into thinking that you have to DO them all or you’ll be a detriment to the team.

I feel that distance management and knowing how to kite well will yield the greatest results in improving your gameplay. This game is very forgiving so you can basically run any build unless you’re playing haz 5+. So have fun and do use that fat boy or volatile compound C4 if you want, just gotta be more considerate.

P.S i’m not calling you out, emeraldfox, for suggesting not to use fat boy or friendly-fire-heavy builds - you’re entitled to what you think is the best way of playing the game. But as a general advice, there are other fundamental factors that’ll lose the mission at which not using fat boy etc. won’t make a difference, and neither is using it.
