Advice
- Similar to Sova's cOwl Drone
, your camera can be a useful for peeking tool before pushing an area. You can often bait the eyes of an enemy and have an ally shoot them while they're distracted. - Try to plan ahead and know what you want to do before the buying phase of a round begins. This will give you more time to run around the map and set up your traps.
- Cypher's qCyber Cage
