Building your escape efficiently
Tips
The guard patrols on a pattern, so watch where he goes and plan your build around those gaps. Because building leaves you exposed, at least one teammate should always be scanning for the guard while the rest construct.
- Keep a lookout posted — one teammate watches while the others build.
- Study the patrol pattern — once you know when and where the guard appears, you can build safely in between.

Handling a caught teammate
WarnWhen the guard catches a teammate, the rest of the team can still save them using a revive facility built during the round. The game is not over until everyone is caught, so the remaining players need to move fast. Share the location of your revive facility with the whole team before anyone gets grabbed.
