In shortMixing the right weapon with an ability that suits your playstyle is the main way to gain an edge over opponents.
The game gives you more than just aim to work with. Knives and guns handle very differently, and abilities you unlock as you play add another layer on top. Experiment until something clicks for you.
Tips worth knowing
Knives are built for close range — they let you attack quickly when you're right on top of an opponent.
Guns work best at a distance — accuracy is rewarded when you keep space between you and your target.
Unique abilities can be unlocked as you progress, and they can shift the outcome of a duel.
Skins change how your knife or gun looks, so collect them freely.
