Battle Rifle Tips:
- • Practice... Load a forge game on Last Resort. Set your secondary weapon to the Battle Rifle and the ammunition to infinite. Run around the map taking aim at the many plasma coils. Attempt to jump off of objects and destroy your target plasma coil before you hit the ground. Not only will this help your aim and use with the Battle Rifle, it will act as a warm-up session if you do so prior to heading into an online match.
- • If you have the opportunity to pickup and make use of a Battle Rifle do so. Still, only use it in applicable situation. But do not shy away from practice; it will only make you better.
- • Strafe Aiming is a skill that should be perfected as much as possible. Instead of using your right joystick to aim, after you have acquired your target at range attempt to use the left joystick and strafe to make small changes to your aim. Not only can this increase your aiming greatly, it will also provide defensive strafing increasing the change that fire returned towards you will not land.
- • RELOAD. The most important thing after finishing an enemy or even attempting to finish an enemy is to reload. Anytime you are at rest or behind cover and not in immediate danger, attempt to reload. Entering an encounter without a fully loaded weapon puts you at a distinct disadvantage.
General Tips to Play by:
- • Whenever possible, identify the weapon your enemy is wielding prior to engaging. This will help keep you from announcing your presence to a sniper that has not noticed you yet, or from running face-to-face into a shotgun wielding opponent.
- • Throw grenades often. Make it a goal to never die with unused grenades. Not only do grenades offer a long range explosion that can reduce enemy's shields and give you the upper-hand, if you do not use them, your enemy can get them when you die.
- • When changing button layouts or attempting to master a different weapon, don't give up prematurely. The new button layout may give you an edge once you get used to it, and the more experience you have with each and every weapon in the game the better. Wielding/using a weapon is also one of the best ways to determine how to defend against it.
- • Attempt to memorize the location / spawn times of power-ups, vehicles and commonly used weapons on each map. Knowing when to go looking for the Active Camouflage or when to expect a Rocket Launcher wielding enemy can make all of the difference in a game.
- • If in doubt, wait it out. Because spawn times are static, if you commonly find yourself entering the fray only to have two people flank you and finish you off, wait a few moments after spawning before heading out, it could make a huge difference. If an enemy dies a few seconds after you, he will spawn a few seconds after you. This could mean he is effectively 'right behind you', or will enter an engagement after you which could give him the upper-hand.
