Basic Strategies
Tape
a flashlight to your gun. Inspired by Speed (the movie that is), this
tactic proved extremely valuable later that night. This technique works best
when it is very dark. The flashlight serves to at first blind and surprise your
opponent. This only lasts for a moment, at which point your enemy says "Ha!
I can just aim at the light!" You, clever as you are, realize this and
switch off the flashlight thus blinding the swine again. Continue moving and
switching the light on and off to harry your enemy indefinitely. Two of us once
used this technique through the windows of our home to defend against a raid.
Switching the porch light on and off helped as well. We were outnumbered 2 to
6 and had them convinced there were 4 or 5 of us in the house.
Work
in a squad if you can. 3 or 4 coordinated (realitivly) and well armed troopers
cannot be defeated. Especially against unarmed opponents ;} Choose a variety
of well balanced weapons. My preferred squad is one heavy weapon, the 300,
with two 150 XPs for quick assaults and support. The
300 provides heavyhitting power, but is by no means easy
to move quickly with. The 150s compensate for this
nicely. With this combination you can slash with the 150s
and open up your victims to the might of the 300. Match
your weapons well and work in teams.
Know
well the Ground of Soaking. Understanding where the battle will be fought is
a great asset. Where refills can be found, solace can be sought (cowards), and
where ambushes may lie and may be set. Some of my mightiest victories were in
the dorm where I once lived.
Move
Move Move! The worst drenchings come from a straight on, direct hit. If you
keep moving you will most likely only get caught with a glancing stream here
or there. Only resort to a head-to-head standing squirt-fest in the most desperate
or silly situations. Be decisive and take chances. Be aggressive, move on your
opponent. There are moments where battles are decided in an instant, be prepared.
