Whats up everyone! My name is Lmaosaurus, and I'm here to ask you something. Recently, I've seen a ton of new characters entering the arena. I've also seen a ton of new characters totally getting owned by me and others. So instead of just queuing up another Riot and owning those same people, I thought it would be a good idea to give those who want to know exactly what they want.

I wouldn't say I'm an expert, but I am well versed in the game. I'm level 48 and currently Top5 on the leaderboards. I hit Top50 since I was level 30-something. Now that doesn't mean much of anything, but it does show my activity ingame. So my credibility is pretty sound when it comes to CrimeCraft PVP.

So this is how we'll start out. I want to know what you want to know about. I have many ideas that I'd like to share, tips, and other things that can help you get the edge over some of us high level players.

Here are some things I'd like to cover eventually:

-Gametype breakdowns

-Weapon choice/selection

-Boost choice/selection

-Skill builds

-How weapons/skills complement each other

-Map breakdowns per gametype

Please note that these subjects are pretty advanced and all have to do with PVP specifically. As much as I hate to admit, pre-level 30 is pretty....(I really can't find the word for it), but it sucks.

So please let me know what you guys think! I'd love to here your thoughts. This game is awesome and I'd love to get more people into it and I hope this is a good way to share what this game is all about.

I am very interested in what you have to say.  Currently, i am level 37 and i am having tons of trouble competing in PvP.  Specifically, i want some help in the "How to not get owned by naked people" and "How to not get one shot killed by Sniper Rifle users" departments.

"How to not get owned by naked people" and "How to not get one shot killed by Sniper Rifle users".

First off, people who are naked don't really have any kind of advantage over people who do have clothes on. Atleast, not to my knowledge. Although it is pretty scary to have some random person running around trying to knife you, which is usually the case, you have to understand the basics of the game. Spacing and range is a big part of utilizing the weapons to your advantage. Understand how each weapon in your arsenal fits into the puzzle and you will be successful.

As for snipers, all you can pretty much do is use anything that can mitigate damage. The sniper rifle I use has some level 40-45 attachments on it. There are attachments that can be crafted that can boost damage output to even higher than what I have. I do about 130+ damage to people who aren't wearing level 40 clothes. When you're high enough level, your clothes will come with greater Heavy damage resistance. More Heavy resistance will decrease the damage you receive from Heavy guns like the sniper rifle and LMG. Aside from clothes, you can use boosts that increase your HP or increase your resistances. There are some pretty cheap ones you can buy from vendors that do just that. If anything else, you're best bet is to dodge snipers better. I would suggest trying to make your movement random. Zig zag here and there. What I use against snipers is the Cabrese assault rifle. The Cabrese is a semi-automatic weapon, but you have an advantage against snipers because of the rate of fire and accuracy. With the Cabrese, you don't really have to aim down the sight in order to get shots in, and you can even strafe from side to side while shooting.

Hope that helps!

"How to not get one shot killed by Sniper Rifle users" .

Two key words here: "cover" and "movement"

Most of the Crimecraft maps are fairly well put together in terms of providing cover, so knowing where that cover is and taking advantage of the protection it provides is crucial to avoid taking damage from any weapons, and especially the sniper rifles that can kill you with only one shot.  The more time you spend out in the open, the more you are exposing yourself to potentially getting hit by a sniper.

Another important tactic is to keep moving; a still target is an easy target.  This is especially important when going between areas of cover.  Never hold still when you are out in the open.  And don't just dash in a straight line from one place to another; move evasively by zig-zagging from side to side, using your combat rolls, and generally moving as unpredictably as possible.

There is no way to avoid getting one-shot sniped altogether, but these tactics can definitely help to reduce the frequency with which it happens.

nice work lmao biatch :D it will help the new players

keep it up bro

seems odd you could top5 and not mention anything like teamstrats and those kinds of things,...just the gun at the end, so obvious, it woudln't surprise me if the top had some cheaters...those do exist, are the high end games (etc) recorded via variables to detect that kinda thing? Nice perk in an mmo is that only the nubs might have hackers, although the wow ladder did have cheaters on it, albeit very subtle ones near the top, less so with a smaller #...

one thing i been doin is runnin around with my assault rifle stayin with my team, then if i don't get 'the drop;' and killem ez with the ar, i use the grenade launcer + maybe the cluster if they're far, lol gl goes really far on a lob + cluster skill, and it's a good wall n trap but kinda slow, the normal nades are faster and do good dmg, but aren't toooo killer 1v1 gotta hittem to gib, but supporte by terrain tactics around objects , solid cover combined with movement thru clears and chokes (avoid long lines of sight, snipers love those and are already there often, the maps aren't big either figger out where they is and if they're together or split circlin, etc, lol i love it when they huddle up in an area and i can lob a cluster in there ;p kinda hard to get enough reloads but usin ar a bit and/or teamwork works fine too ;) was usin invisibility but then you split from team ez, it's better to maintain lines of combat and stay with your team see where they're shootin, and injure and distract all of them simultaneously with the support weapon :)

Got some mods too, + splash n somethin else, i'm ponderin if the fire skill works on it but prolly not, might get molly again....or maybe try a few but i love grenade normal for fast surprises, can swap b4 dust clears too n spray thru, and the ff is always off. :) so i can put them on my team and only hurt them.

also made me pine for red faction guerilla again, mostly due to that game havin similar to this one, except constriction metal buildings, physics, gravity, so you can break the buildigns with the heat seeking missile launcer, cars, tanks, a sledgehammer, a pistols good for hostage rescues in fragile [filtered] or just fragile [filtered] like artifact ruins, also the assault rifle worked good for normal hostage resuces, was a fun game got to lvl 3 on hard and hated mutlipalery...i'm thinkin of playin it again, but i'm havin fun here too :)
