For the survivor: Travel in groups
It is very difficult to destroy the large groups formed in the game. If the player manages to trust the other players next to him, they can easily corner and kill the traitors. But this job is a team game and requires you to fully trust other players.
For traitors: lone wolf tactic
Being a wolf in sheep’s clothing is absolutely tempting. But traitors are not always easy to overcome. Instead, one of the villains has to look as innocent as possible, and the other has to score as much as humanly possible. If you manage to be strong enough, you can hunt people down when they break up into smaller groups.
Learn how to build trust
Whether you’re a traitor or a survivor, you need to know how to build trust with your teammates. It’s hard to form alliances without trust, and it’s hard to corner other players without trust. Doing useful things in front of others is an ideal way to gain the trust of others.
Don’t troll people
Whether you’re a survivor or a traitor, one of the easiest ways to get kicked out or kicked out is to literally undermine other people’s games. Of course it’s funny chasing others with a “fun” ax but players won’t want to cooperate with annoying people, whether they’re traitors or not.
Learn to steer correctly
While redirecting, “There is a bunker here!” A phrase heard only over the radio, like that, is of no use to anyone. Instead, giving more specific directions like “Go north of the cabin” makes things easier. Giving vague instructions is one way to lose trust in your teammates. Because sending them to a secluded place with strange instructions could be a trap planned by the traitor.
Don’t be afraid to run away
Everyone needs to know when to walk away and when to run. Sometimes you have no choice but to drop whatever weapon you have and flee to safety. Especially if your health will be seriously compromised, in general, running away is a much more logical solution than fighting.
For traitors: always strike first
In one-on-one combat, the player who hits it first is usually the winner. However, it takes a while to perform a powerful melee attack, and if you miss, it will be very difficult to catch up with the survivor. That’s why being sneaky is the secret. Like trapping survivors in a bear trap or hiding behind a tree or bunker and launching a surprise attack.
For survivors: Announce special roles now
It’s a bit of a double-edged sword, but it’s good to get things done early. This is especially true if there is a Defector in the team (it plays a big role because it can open special things like Defector, Secure crates, Care packages with its ability). Of course, the traitor can declare himself a Defector and cause the player’s death in the process. But you should know that helping the team is a noble sacrifice.
Always keep in touch
The silence of the radio is the simplest way to raise suspicion. So make sure you keep in touch with your teammates as much as possible. This allows survivors to keep an eye on what everyone is doing. For traitors, too, it allows them to follow their foes while actively and speaking build trust.
Know when to disclose important information
Sometimes it’s important not to provide accurate information to the team, even if you’re a survivor. A phrase like “I’m going east” might allow traitors to prepare an ambush for you there. For safety, lying about the direction players are going and listening for footsteps in case of being followed is a very useful tactic.
