About
- Strats listed are mildly outdated and partially updated for U13-U15. Many things involving prone jump no longer work. Some can be substituted with the (sideways) crouch jump.
- Made in combination with accessibility and special structure overlays in Maps Let Loose
- Several things listed have been found and reproduced by periodically checking public steam screenshots for the game here. See something that looks weird? Figure out where it is and how to do it.
- Check the Seasonal discord #rules channel to determine what is and isn't allowed in comp.
- Thanks for additional assistance, help, and tips for some strats from xware_dogx, PipePistoleer, RyanCraig37, and Babyburn.
