CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS 4 - TOP THREE TIPS TO SURVIVE BLACKOUT
When looting for gear, look inside buildings
From the charred cul-de-sac of Nuketown Island to the palatial villas of Estate, there’s gear to be scooped up everywhere.
And finding the best gear goes a long way to giving you the best chance possible to be the last player alive.
While you can find gear lying around an open area, you’re much more likely to find concentrated amounts inside buildings.
Make sure you explore the ground of every floor, room, closet, basement and roof.
Every nook can potentially house a game-changing piece of Equipment.
Cover. Cover. Cover
Don’t let that size fool you into thinking sprinting out into the open for long distances is a good idea.
Any time you can move under the cover of vegetation, a building or simply a shadow, you absolutely should.
Why? Because you only have your own perspective.
A well-hidden sniper could be lurking just out of your view, or simply be well-hidden.
Additionally, vehicles like tactical rafts, ATVs, trucks and helicopters can cover ground in seconds and if you’re uncovered, you’re dead.
With all the freedom of movement and varied terrain, surprises like that are common.
While getting acclimated to Blackout, it’s wise to stick to covered areas as much as possible and exercise some caution.
In short, look (and listen) before you leap.
Intel is your best friend
In the beta you were battling up to 79 other people and, frankly, that’s a lot of enemies to keep track of.
Well, alright, you probably don’t need to keep track of them all, but intelligence wins wars and it can win Blackout matches, too.
Gathering intel on nearby enemies is essential and there are a few ways to do it.
The easiest way? Use a scoped weapon to get a closer view of a distant area.
For a more up close and personal look at your surroundings, the RC-XD has you covered.
Guide this speedy, durable, remote-controlled car into buildings, ascend stairs and into enemy encampments and get a full, ground-up view of what your opponents are up to.
For an extra bit of intel, have one of your teammates fire a Sensor Dart onto the RC-XD for some mini-map painting to go along with your video feed.
