… there are many tipps and tricks that many don’t know about? I’d like to start here with one I found out yesterday. Let’s gather.
Did you know that
… 5 sticky bombs are enough to kill a level 4 rival wolf (Scout)?

… you can reach higher places by jumping on a tactical shield or an other player?
What about you? Do you also have some hints?

Most guns go through an extended animation if you empty the magazine completely; try to keep at least one bullet when reloading to cut down reload time.
Rubber and Plastic are only used in clothing schematics (plastic is also used in exactly 3 decorative base parts), so don’t bother keeping too many of them. A given series (blastproof/stealth/etc) of schematics will only use rubber or plastic, never both. Finally, it takes 270 rubber/plastic to bring fully max a single clothing piece or 1080 for a full set; toss excess to save space.
Also, the 4th tier of a clothing schematic will always cost 69 rubber or plastic. Nice.
As of the Recon update, bullet resistance clothing schematics do not work; use something else in the meantime.

If a Machine ends up in deep water when destroyed, you can jump in and quickly hit the use key on it.
Once you respawn on the shore, the loot window will still be up

Fun to watch players jumping into the water like they are trying to save the machine!
This same method can be used when a machine starts sliding down a mountain.

Ha! Had to do this on a Level 4 Rival last night. So annoying. I had to throw grenades and shoot rockets to push him across the river to the shore before I could reach jumping distance.

That windows in cars, bus stops and phone booths can now be broken ?( since somewhere this year)
-
You can use a rocket at the right time when an Harvester summons reinforcements from above and destroy all the hunters or runners at the same time they appear?( since 2020)

that you can use the augmentation to steal health against your own companion? Yeah, shoot him.
It heals yourself, but doesn’t hurt your companion.
(I must try yet, if it also works against/with teammates in multiplayer)

What augmentation is that?

I forgot this topic for such a long time, but it’s soo useful.
Did you know…
that you can stack the effects of experimental first aid / radioactive kits (both)?
The more you eat, the longer the effects.
AND, using both at the same time neutralizes their negative effects each other.
=> Full stamina and health regeneration
Did you know…
That you can get a hunter horde on this spot. I had to kill over 30 here using my Minigun.

Yeah, and not just there. Almost everywhere in mountain region.
I haven’t had a real horde (30+) elsewhere, I mean they kept coming.
North of Smultronstallet Controlpoint and sometimes South of it too it can spawn multiple hoards of Runners and some bunches of Hunter teams with them. If your ‘lucky’ you’ll get a couple of Tanks and maybe a Harvester also. ( Talking about - It may impact on your performance numbers! )
Always tought that the warzone North of Mullvadsberget was one of the most ‘popularized’ areas but not. It’s more Tanks and Harvesters but the numbers is about the half or even that of a good spawn at Smultronstallet.
We learned that the hard way for our 1st time after defating the controlpoint and was very low on ammo and meds.
Recomend going there during night time. It’s a sight to behold with all mech ‘eyes’ glowing in the dark, before all hell breaks loose.

Don’t waste your sticky bomb on 1 Wolf
1st. Use flares and fireworks to gatther your flock. Sticky flares could work too.
2nd. Feed them some love with your EMP charges.
3rd. Run through your sleepy flock dropping gas cansisters and your sticky bombs.
4th. Behold the chaos your leaving behind!
1 - Experimental magnum is perfect for destroying an enemy base’s control station. Shoot through the wall, the shrapnel does slightly less damage than a bazooka.
2 - It seems obvious, but you can shoot through almost anything when using the x-ray visor. Rocks, trees, walls or even armor. You can destroy a fuel tank this way. It’s perfect if it works with the Exp Meusser hunting rifle, I haven’t tested it yet.
With a 5c RPG7 with golden structure destructor augmentation you sometimes just need 2 shots on the FNIX command center. Often this even skips the spawns of runners and hunters.
My favourite killing ground until recently was Ramsboda. Several patrols of 4 to 5 hunters would pass through it from Ugglan Mountain bunker to Garphammar or vice versa. Occasionally the Russians would interfere and often I could down more than one firebird easily because they couldn’t see me. But recently things have been slow there as if the game learns and knows you’re taking advantage of certain positions.
The military compound ESE of Muskudden Port Complex is cool too : SW of it is a small checkpoint and it is always mayhem down there !
Maybe it is not wise to reveal this knowledge here ? For all I know devs will change easy loot positions.
Fnix is real! The game is, in fact, a virtual simulator used to train machines to fight humans.
