You can post strategies, combos, or just your favourites.


Stealth Sniper.

Spoiler

Stealth + Sniper Rifle/Focus Rifle
Advantages: More of chance to lineup the perfect shot.
Disadvantages: Hard to keep your eye on what's going on around you, once you fire your cover is blown.

Air Sniper.

Spoiler

Jetpack and Sniper Rifle/Focus Rifle
Advantages: Quick terrain movement, perch high above the ground to give you a clear shot.
Disadvantages: Often needs a quick shot, before you start to fall. Being in the air exposes you.

Shotgun Lock.

Spoiler

Shotgun with Armour Lock
Advantages: Once you EMP, the shotgun will kill with one bullet. Armour lock will protect you until you run out or have a good shot.
Disadvantages: Time between Armour Locked and UnLocked.

Air Launcher.

Spoiler

Plasma/Grenade Launcher with Jetpack.
Advantages: Long enough to get a lock, grenades should make it the rest of the way.
Disadvantages: Being high up exposes you from cover, takes a second to lock and fire.

Sprint Shotgun/Sword.

Spoiler

Shotgun or Sword with Sprint
Advantages: Close Range weapon after sprinting, allows you to get up close.
Disadvantages: Still weak while sprinting, doesn't work at long ranges or large terrain height differences.

Stealth Shotgun/Sword.

Spoiler

Shotgun or Sword with Stealth.
Advantages: Close Range weapon, stealth lets you get close.
Disadvantages: While moving, you're more easily seen, once you use one of these weapons you become exposed.
