TR Max User Newbie......what should I do, when a heavy aims a rocketlauncher at me? Start jumping? Strafing? Not leaving cover in the first place?
Well, you can( depending on situation / environment ) 1) " bunny hop" but that rarely works, even if your crouch jumping , esp if they aim center of mass. Unless they're the type to aim at someone's feet because they're just noob tubing ( helps reduce damage a bit) . 2) Eat the damage, depending on how much HP you have left in the first place. 3) Use the max " charge" ability ( if this doesn't bug out ), most players WILL miss the moment you charge perpendicular to them ( this helps a ton if you have your mouse set to settings 90-95 / high DPI mouse which is what i usually run with ) . 4) Bullet spray 'em down, flinch can really screw their aim up for some players. 5) duck right back down to cover . Strafing "works" if they're not within a 50-70m range , primarily because max strafing is extremely slow ........Your better off turning 90 degrees or so and then running because strafing as a max is just too slow ( unless your around some cover). Now if they're under 2m, you can always try to run through them / charge through them. I haven't tried that in awhile, but its saved me a few times .
