08:20-08:40 Dismantle Bots
08:41-09:17 Know When TO Use Laser
09:18-10:00 Stop Wasting Reinforcements
10:01-10:41 Coordinate Stratagems
Thought the last point read: Coordinate Shenanigans, and thought, “Sounds about right.”
Yeah definitely helps to only have one shenanigan at a time
Key takeaways:
Autocannon is nutty good
Manage your agro
Know when to disengage
Make sure someone has a clear stratagem up at any one time, don’t waste them overlapping area or duration
Bots have weakspots, exploit them and bring weapons that are good at exploiting them
Something he doesn’t mention: smoke can be really really valuable, both for avoiding fights and disengaging
This approach made a huge difference. I went from hating playing against the bots to enjoying it more than the bugs. I also taught this approach to a newbie and he also found it far easier.
