Slit shooting!
Okay so you all know hallway:
Next time you’re on, build this:
Note the open block dug in front of the 2-block pillar
When you aim through it, you will be able to see everything but the red (and through walls, obviously):
And while you’ll see this:
Your enemy will see this (note the 1 px green head on the left):
Another way to build it is like this:
Which gives you two slits to shoot out of:
This is really useful on maps like pinpoint, where your blind spots are in the water!
Also note that you won’t be able to see directly across from your middle block.
I like to build this to one side on pinpoint and then pop my head up very briefly to glimpse enemies and then try and align them with the slit.
So again, you see this:
and they see:
Next up!
Foot camping!
This works best in a narrow hallway or tunnel
Build this:
That’s a small one block high bump in front of you, and a wall missing the foot section past that.
You might want to build them at a distance, it’s up to you:
When players approach the wall to destroy it, you’ll see this (before they even get close, usually):
For giggles, here’s what they’ll see:
Your feet are safe, their feet are gonna be hurting pretty bad.
Note that both of these can be torn up pretty easily by SMG’s! You can build them thicker if it helps, but you might lose visibility. Watch out from above too on hallway!
Also, note that on babel, depending on where you are on the map, your slit or foot camping things will be invincible against bullets.
Up next, this one is a little cheap as it exploits a tiny glitch, but I’ve explained it to tons of people and never had a complaint:
If you play thick maps, you’re probably familiar with those one block wide tunnels:
Easy enough to deal with, but if you’re lagging or can’t seem to hit those giant heads, a good way to deal with players who persistently use them is to dig over and up, cover your tracks, and sit above the tunnel, looking down:
You’ll be able to see when players past directly beneath you, and hear them, but they won’t notice you until it’s too late and you drop down behind them.
Be careful of teammates following them who might notice an enemy dropping down in front of their face!
