General Respawnables tips: how to move like an elite player
We've all come across that one player who just knows how to play this game. They're always winning, and they're great with every weapon they use and every map. Here's a little guide that'll iron out all the stuff that you need to know to move like these players.
Use walls and barriers to your advantage: play more defensively!Many players are obsessed with pure offence, running around recklessly and shooting at anything that moves. That'll work against less experienced players, but not against people who've played for a long time. You need to make use of walls, barriers, anything that can protect you from fire. If there's a player there who will kill you before you can kill them, get behind something and recover the health or simply run away. It might seems like a silly thing to do, but it means that you stay alive and that you find a more appropriate opponent.
An example of this is a sniper against a shotgun at long ranges. The shotgun simply won't reach the player, when they can deal substantial damage to the shotgun user before they're even close. In this situation, you should get behind a wall and escape. By getting behind a wall, you can do all sort of crafty things; you can wait for them and ambush them when the turn the corner, move to a different position and surprise them. Elite players have probably done this to you many many times. Learn every map: especially spawn points, they're important!Having a variety of weapons and being good with them is important, but nearly just as important is learning maps and spawn points. By learning maps, you'll know exactly things are and how to move to where you want to be. Spawn points are the most important part of this tip. By learning them, you can find players right after they respawn and when the match begins, vital for those massive 40+ kill records. It's also important since it'll help you work out where you and and where to go when you spawn. This tips goes hand in hand with the Spotter tip; knowing maps is vital to using it right.

Move in a way that makes players miss: don't run straight at them! Footwork is key to winning!Too often, players just run at each other with no consideration for their defence. When you run straight at a player, it becomes very easy for them to aim at you, especially if they're sniping. Never do this, unless you have a good reason to. When approaching players, move in a way that makes them miss, or decreases the damage they can do to you. Move around them in a circular motion , move left and/or right to evade their shots. If you're successful, you'll take much less damage overall, helping you stay alive for longer.
This tactic is especially important for close-range weapons like shotguns and mid-range weapons like Revolver, which are accurate enough to hit in between your movements. Some weapons also appreciate a player who knows when to back away, moving backward. The most obvious example is the Dual Stake Launcher, which can freeze players with low-ranged weapons. Backing away while they're frozen and firing at them at the same time means you'll beat them equally as fast and that you'll take less damage. Once you're used to moving in these ways, you'll do it by default. Use the Spotter gadget: see where all your targets are!One thing you'll notice about all the best players in the game is that they all use the same gadget, and for a very good reason. Spotter's ability to locate players is absolutely fantastic, more useful than any other gadget in the game. Seeing players lets you hunt them down and find them faster, it lets you prepare for players when they cut corners, lets you see players through invisibility and so much more. If you want to play like a pro, this gadget is an absolute MUST.
