==Dealing With Counter-Snipers and Hunters== *Counter-snipers are enemy snipers whose goal is to kill you and any other sniper on your team. Hunters are infantry that search for you to kill you (you have most likely killed them several times and they are angry) * It is recommended that you wear good headphones so you can hear someone trying to sneak up on you and can prepare to engage them or flee and hide * When you hear someone coming to kill you, take out your pistol and do one of two things: first, you can hide behind the cover that protects from the way they are most likely coming, then shoot them as they walk by, or, your second option is to wait until they get close-ish, then jump out and surprise them (with good headphones, you should be able to figure out, within a meter, where they are) * When fighting someone up-close with your pistol, you should try the side-step technique. You walk a little bit to the right, then a little bit to the left, then a little bit to the right, then a little bit to the left, and so on. While doing this, you need to aim your pistol the opposite way you are walking as you fire (if you are walking left, aim right to compensate) * If you empty a pistol clip and the enemy still has not gone down, pull out your rifle and hipfire one shot before you reload your pistol. If your rifle is a one hit kill, you may get lucky and land the shot, killing the enemy * If someone starts shooting at you before you hear them, and they are out of effective pistol range (about 20m-25m), hide behind cover, wait a few second, then try the "tree-trick". Although it doesn't need to be used with trees, the "tree-trick" is easiest and most effective when you are taking cover behind a tree. In order to do the "tree-trick", you must be behind cover and know approximately where the enemy is. Then, position yourself so that the tree is exactly in between you and the enemy, face almost exactly the same way as the enemy, and run straight. If done properly, you should remain hidden from them until you reach different cover (this works best with trees because they are tall and will block sight of you for a long distance). From this new cover peak out at the cover you were just at, and wait for the enemy to check behind it, then kill them * When dealing with counter-snipers, it is best to remain hidden after you hear their first shot (they may have a OHK rifle). Try to figure out the general area that he is in, and ask your teammates to check that area for him. Then, instead of doing the "tree-trick", you should serpentine away until you can escape. Serpentine is when you zig-zag while running away from the enemy. Try to make the zigs and zags different lengths, because if they are too uniform, they will be easy to predict and you will get shot * Do not go to new cover and try to shoot the counter-sniper, as they will have probably seen where you went. If there is a hill, try to go on the other side of it, as that will provide you cover that you can walk along to get to somewhere safer
