Strategies

Retreating

 * If you are anywhere near or are in Paradise, consider Hiding in the mall, as there are multiple hiding spots. Even if the enemy(ies) are right on your tail this could be effective due to the mass amount of walls and doors.
 * If you can, get to the nearest car and keep going until they stop following you, as all vehicles are the same speed, if you are soon to deplete your fuel, then take refuge in a city apartment or somewhere where you have the high ground.
 * If you are in the Airfield, then go inside of the radio tower (Unless you were just chased out of there), throw a smoke grenade (if you don't have anythe throw a different grenade, but a smoke grenade would help you best in this situation) and camp the entrance, if they decide to waltz in, they ill be in for a bit of a surprise from whatever gun you have (Shotgun is recommended due the critical damage up close)
 * If you are running from somebody inside of any city, Turn your Flashlight off, as it tells your hunter whether you are near or not, if you decide to keep it on, you are basically their breakfast of loot.


 * If your enemy has lost you, hide in any bush. Stay crouched by pressing C. Press V to change your perspective so you can see where your hostile is, from inside of the bush. Once it's safe, escape the area.

Attacking

 * Typically, you would want to get behind a person and want to use the element of surprise against them, so don't shoot at them if you aren't sure if it's going to hit or not, as you always want to be the one to hit first.
 * If you are sniping somebody, be a safe distance away, if you miss them then they start to kill you, you are done for as they got the advantage as son as you missed them some 30 meters away, so try to be around 60-75 meters or further if you want to be at a safe sniping distance.
 * If somebody is not shooting at you, just approaching you not knowing you are close by, hide in a bush then shoot them, so that they will have no idea where hurtful bullets came from
 * Ambushes can be a good strategy for far AND close combat. (EXAMPLE FOR FAR RANGE AMBUSHES: Hide in a nearby in the mountain area of Airfield, then wait for a hostile to enter the Airfield and snipe him without being caught.) (EXAMPLE FOR CLOSE QUARTER AMBUSHES: Pop in a bush near a house and once a hostile comes in, run to the house and pop up behind them and uhh, heheh err just put them out of their misery..

Defending

 * Defending a different from attacking or retreating. Defending is simply holding your ground in a position that gives you the upper hand. Usually this is a building where there are few entrances for the opponent to enter, letting you be there ready for them.
