Camping is a tactic where a player stays in one spot taking out targets from afar. The key is to always stay moving after shooting a few rounds. Players often needs a good backup team to protect themselves from ambushes by close range weapons, or gadgets capable of stopping them.
Good Camping Spots[]
Some maps have great places where camping is more efficient than other places.
- Frozen Bay, by the missile launchers and the top of the submarine.
- Another good place to camp is Sandtown, near the wrecked airplane or the wood plank in the balcony.
- Eastside District also has a good spot on a balcony you can get from going up stairs or going up the ramp in the construction site.
- In Royal Garden, all four corners are best used for camping,
Although there are many good places, some places aren't as good, such as Headquarters. With the maze-like feel to it and lack of protective high ground, there aren't many good places to camp.
