Tips for Playing Runner
Here are a series of tips to play one of the most overlooked castes on the xeno side.
1. Know your enemy.
- A. Do they have a shotgun or flamer? If yes, stay away.
- B. Do they have a L42?? Very easy.
- C. Do they have a M41A or SMG? Be careful and use your pounce first.
2. Your pounce.
- A. Your pounce guarntees two slashes in, I recommend aiming for the head.
- B. If they have a shotgun and you are ancient, you can somewhat easily just keep pouncing them, but it requires quite a bit of slashes as runner to kill a marine.
3. Tackle Salt.
- A. Your tackle is overlooked a lot, tackle in general is shit, but as runner it is a great tool when RNG blesses you.
- B. You only need two concurrent tackles to kill a marine when aiming for the head.
- C. As ancient your tackle is quite /decent/ but not good. I rely on tackle a lot and when I don't land one it usually results in me making a mistake and getting killed.
4. Mistakes.
- A. Mistakes, even the smallest, will kill you.
- B. Shotguns are the biggest threat you can avoid.
- C. The easiest target is one with an L42/SMG/M41A, be weary of M41A MK1 users as they usually carry a masterkey, which can take half of your health in one PB as ancient.
- D. Pouncing in the wrong place such as something that can get you blocked, like a wooden barricade or barb wired cade will almost always gets you killed.
