2) Move constantly unless you are in a position where you are 100% safe. Even when you're shooting people, keep moving.
3) Choose a role. Scouting is a bad place to start piloting lights because you're going out alone. Don't. Play bodyguard. Play anti-light patrol.
4) Carry UAVs. The Help button gets ignored. If you see enemies within UAV range, then putting up a UAV is going to help draw your teams attention. Ignore anyone who says consumables are too expensive.
5) Be patient. The number of people who do stupid things because the match begins with the two teams maneuver instead of charging into each other is high. Some people will go on suicide missions because the fight isn't happening fast enough. Don't be those people.
6) Know how to take cover. Lights have the most cover in the game because they can hide behind small things. Stay hidden so randos don''t just take a potshot at you.
7) Press R to get the silhouette of the enemy mech and see where they're damaged. Don't just shoot at any ol' spot on a mech. Know where people are weak and where you can blow off weapons and neuter people.
8) Your legs are fragile, and it's easy for you to shoot other people's legs. Sometimes people won't notice you down their chewing their leg off until it's too late. Sometimes none of a mechs weapons can target you while you are destroying their ankles.
all good advice, but definitely 4. people wont help if there is nothing in it for them and showing them a cookie on radar helps get them interested. in order: drop uav. lock target. target spotted. then ask for help.
