Strategy Guide[]
In this LTM, you will have to get within close range to a player. This will result in them taking more damage when you fire your weapon. Also, do not go excessively high on your Jetpack, unless you are above water.
Try landing closer to the middle of the map to make sure you don't have to run too far or at all when the zone closes in.
Try and use the Heavy or Combat Shotgun, due to their range, for longer engagements.
Trivia[]
- It was the first LTM to make a comeback in Chapter 3: Season 1.
