This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The marking feature is incredibly useful for any engagement, as having a regular sight on where the enemy is exactly can aid with firing through structures and hitting the opponent, as well as knowing exactly when and where the enemy is going to peek from cover.
- The mark also puts the enemy into severe trouble during a group fight, creating the possibility of everyone focusing fire on the marked victim.
- The Shadow Tracker is also a very good Assault Rifle or SMG substitute, due to its decent accuracy, fast reload speed, and larger magazine than its regular Suppressed Pistol counterpart.
Counters[]
- While the Shadow Tracker may be a very useful option due to its marking capabilities, the Flare Gun, when shot in the air, can have the same effect, and also mark more than one opponent at once.
