5. Headsets Come in Handy

A pair of headsets is pretty important to enjoy a completely immersive experience. They particularly come in handy when receiving mission orders, listening to enemy footsteps, or to where gunshots and fights are coming from.

4. Stealth Means Stealth

Going out guns blazing is a no. Especially in stealth missions that need you to remain hidden in the shadows. If the reverse were to happen, you’ll likely take enemies out in the open much more easily. Plus, if a guard happens to spot you, it’s game over.

3. Know Your Guns

There are different ways to take down enemies, from sniping from afar to close-range headshots. You never know when you’ll need either tactic so always keep at least two close-range and long-range weapons in hand.

2. Don’t Skip Loadouts 

Different players have different gun preferences that work best for them. To find out what works for you, try different guns in the Loadouts mode. And the more you practice, the better your gunning skills become.

1. Perfect Headshots, Or Close

Headshots are almost always guaranteed kills. Though it can be hard to master, you could push your aim upwards between the chest and lower jaw and the recoil will do the rest.
