Pick the first shot

Win the first angle. Battlefield players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on vehicles.

Keep the crosshair at the height the next player will appear. Fancy movement is slower than a ready lane.

Hold a lane

One lane is enough. Cover revive chains and let teammates take the rest.

Javelin / EA anti-cheat updates do not change this: a calm hold still beats a panic swing.

Reset after the spray

After the spray, reload behind cover and count steps. wide maps with vehicles, objectives, and squad revive chains punishes people who chase while empty.

If the fight is even, leave. flanks is still there on the next pass.
