10. 10Tips / Techs

    Author's category · 0 items · 1. Cancel flight during the startup to conserve momentum for escaping 2. Don't stare at enemies while scoped in to charge up a shot, look at a wall close to you where u can still see them or charge it while dashing around a corner to get the angle so they can't react to the laser and sound queue. 3. Paradox wall doesn't stop our snipe, but kevlin dome does. 4. Dynamo ult isn't the only free snipe, you also should be getting free snipes from doorman, lash, paradox, infernus, and even vyper ults if you can time it well enough. 5. Tether combos extremely well with bebop hook and warden claw, if you have them on ur team, save tether for those abilities. 6. You can still snipe REM while he is in tag along 7.
