Deadside
Deadside combat
Deadside combat is short. This page covers first shots, lane holds, and resets around airdrops.
Pick the first shot
Win the first angle. Deadside players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on military loot.
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 vehicles and let teammates take the rest.
Easy 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. open fields, military bases, and quiet forest towns punishes people who chase while empty.
If the fight is even, leave. stashes is still there on the next pass.
