looking to become better at showdown? well i am here to try and help
what is showdown?
showdown is an all out deathmatch where no medkits spawn and there are no healing options, the goal is to try and be the last one standing.
thing you should know.
~each gun deals double dmg
~if you win you will receive about 70-125 gralats
~when the clock reaches 3:15 you will be warped to a small arena like spar where you will have to battle the remaining players
new players!
if your a new player many of you would resort to running away from the more experienced players and try to hide. personally i think you should stick to the other money making options like collecting parts and doing missions until you reach about 5000+ gralats to purchase a higher dmg weapon (green rifle, red rifle or lightning pistol) you should then continue to save about 500 graalats to afford a class, i like to stick with commando. if you think you would be good at dodging i recommend medic class, if not you can always change your class again to the more preferred one.

teaming

often players team in showdown. newer players tend to do it more than the more experienced ones. Once you have saved up enough for a better gun and still cant take care of the pro's i would recommend teaming. when in the lobby waiting for a game to start feel free to ask players if they want to team. Some may say yes, other no. once you have found someone to team with when showdown starts try to find the player you requested to team with and stick with them

this can also upset players and make them mad, just ignore them.

tips!

laggers >

laggers can be very annoying an stressful. How to deal with them you wonder. if the player is running but not moving run up to them and try to melee them. There health bar will not show but eventually you will kill them.

people who lag but there lag is bad but not really bad.
these people are laggers who are still moving but it seems like they are speed hacking and at one point you are shooting at them the next you have 15+ bullets flying at you. i recommend trying to run down or vertical and if they follow you shoot infront of where they are going to run or if they stop moving for a second run up or down and shoot around near were you where standing.

i hope i helped any of you out there. if you find any mistakes, want to give me feedback or leave a criticism feel free to leave a reply

Love when people whine about how people "spam" one of the most pathetic excuses for losing. If you think I shouldn't be firing my gun as fast as it possibly goes well you're doing it wrong.

In other news good guide overall

You learn new things everyday, I had no idea the damage dealt by guns doubled.
