Shadow
Artifact:
Shadow
gives you complete invisibility, even when you are carrying the flag. You
can be briefly seen after being touched, taking damage, or using any weapon
except the Shadow Axe. Dispersion Pistol is replaced by Shadow Axe, which
is very short range but does a lot of damage - particularly if you attack
a stationary player from behind. If you use the beamer, your beam can be
seen as well.
How
to use
As
an offensive artifact, you can sneak around in the enemy base and kill
defenders before they know what hit them. If the enemy base is empty, grab
the flag and make your escape. After a few seconds you will be completely
invisible. If there are enemies near, try to avoid doing things that could
give away your location. For example: making sounds (e.g. jumping);
touching pickups (health, armor, weapons); using the beamer; and activating
doors or lifts. If you see a player going around shooting their AutoMag,
they probably have Aim
- get out of the area as quickly and quietly as possible. Seek out hiding
places that aren't obvious, and that have a
minimum
of exposure.
How
to fight
Aim
is definitely the best artifact for tracking down Shadow; but you still
have to look around and try shooting all different places. While hunting,
don't shoot predictably, and don't waste ammo. Aim will hit almost anything
in your line of sight, so don't fire another bullet until you have a new
area to check.
If
you have a rough idea of where Shadow is hiding, Banshee
can be used for an instant kill. But you need to have teammates to back
you up, otherwise the enemy may regain both your flag and Shadow before
you have time to return. |
