The rest of the players become hunters with full auto and only 1 hit point but unlimited respawns. The hunters need to flush out the snipers before too many of the hunters are eliminated. At times this game can be slow because some snipers will hole up and hide. Successful snipers will hunt out the hunters and look for opportunities to pick them off when it&#8217;s hard for the hunters to retaliate.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy and Tactics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It can not be overstated: the snipers will almost certainly win or lose this game within the first 5 minutes. How? Preparation. Snipers MUST work as a team to be successful in this game. Hide yourselves near each other but so that you have at least a 90\u00b0 difference in your attack angles to the trail. Do not attack players as they come down the trail. Shoot people in the back as the group passes or pick them off from a long distance when you&#8217;re way off on the side. The moment the group sees you they&#8217;ll start firing, so you have to do everything you can to kill the hunters but not be seen.<\/li>\n<li>Snipers who successfully kill a few players and then have a moment where the hunters retreat and regroup would be very wise to MOVE. Find a new ambush point or, even better, find alternate ambush points while you are getting set up before the hunters get to start looking for you. As soon as you&#8217;ve shot someone they&#8217;ll have a general idea where you are, so don&#8217;t be there when they come back.<\/li>\n<li>Hunters should ALWAYS walk in groups of at least 3-4 players. Do NOT let more than 2 people walk in a single line. Most of your hunters should be off the path so that you don&#8217;t have a sniper hitting your whole squad with a single shot. Once the firing starts make sure you communicate the snipers&#8217; positions to the other members of your team or they might just start spraying where they think you&#8217;re shooting, which only tells the sniper where to shoot next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One-quarter of the players use longer guns and are sent out on bolt-action mode and given time to hide.
