Basic Strategy

Main article: Runner strategies

• Never stop moving. Generally, the only thing that can catch you is an enemy Runner.
• Autoguns and spamming Overweights will probably be your worst enemies, due to their pure area denial. Chokepoints are also hard to pass alone.
• Autoguns have to turn to track you if you jump over them- use this time to destroy them and their Constructor.
• Be unpredictable. When facing Rocketmen and Riflemen, save your double jump. As soon as you use it, they can figure out exactly where you're going to land.
• You'll probably die a lot, but you'll also see the Intel a lot more than anybody else.
• You count as two people when capturing a point in capture point, so use this to your advantage.
• Rushing at the Intel like a mad man to try and cap as many times before your opponent does is a popular strategy known as Jello Nixoning.
• The Runner is great for infiltrator checking, since his scattergun has a very long range, which is almost doubled when running.
• If you always try to take out enemies that are not firing at you, you will live longer
