Teabag Prevention #16 – Epitaph
Epitaph is a Gravesite. It is a place of death and it is a place of slaughter. You’re about to take it to a whole new level. This one.
THIS WEEK – EPITAPH
There are a couple of major ways of going about owning people in this gravesite level.
You can be the power hungry bitch:
The stealthy assassin:
Or you can be a little bit of everything:
TIP #1- STEALTHY ASSASSIN
Epitah offers up two power-ups: The Active Camo and the Overshield. both are located somewhat oppisite of each other and both have their perks after you pick ’em up. For the Active Camo, once you pick it up, the shotgun isn’t far. Waltz across the dance floor,
through the shield door, and out side. Take a right and you’re there.
It’s recomended that you pick the shotgun up first that way your Active Camo doesn’t run out. Since you’re invisible, go run around and get some do whatever you’d do if you were actually invisible – if you had a shotgun. In Halo. The point is you’re going to eff people up pretty hard until you run out of shells – keep it close range, though. The shotty will not help you out in the middle of the floor. Keep moving and keep it short.
TIP #2- POWER HUNGRY BITCH
After you grab the Overshield, you have two choices:
Go for the Rocket laucher up above
Or go pick up the Gravity Hammer on the same coordinates, but below the rockets.
With the Gravity Hammer, you can creep around the corner and wait for someone to make the fatal turn around the corner. Usually that works well because of Epitaph’s many hallways, doors, and walls. Use it like you would the shotgun – keep it close and short. Never charge or go out into the dance floor. You’ll get shot before you get halfway to your opponent.
With the Rocket, you can perch yourself somewhere higher up on the map and wait for two enemies to engage each other. Double Kills or even Triple Kills will be as easy as that point. Hide and explode. Apocalypse time.
Notice how those two tips involved camping. Now if you don’t have these weapons and you don’t see anyone walking around with them, be weary.
Tip #3 – GUUUUAAAK WAHK WAHK WAHK WAHK!
Active Camo can give you a major advantage if you use it right. Combined with the corridors and corners of the map, sticking to the walls while invisible is the way to go. With so much fighting going on around the map, some don’t take heed to their motion tracker right away or at all. This makes everyone an easy target. Why need active camo you ask?
….wait for it…BAM!
That’s why.
Epitaph has two floors that lead to the external part of the map too. If you are spotted on the motion tracker, and the enemy turns around and doesnt see you, you’re easily given a second chance. There are some instances when you can sit right in front of your enemies and they won’t see you. You’re now the motherfucking Predator – get ready to explode the world and laugh your fucking ass off.
TIP #4 –
Spikers play a hidden role in this map. Dual wield them, and they become power weapons. You can pick two up right before you use the smaller of the two lifts on either side of the map:
That being said, whenever you’re short of a shotty or rocket launcher, pick up these two goodies and you’re good to go. I find it most satisfying when I take out the bastard trying to kill me with a shotty. If they mess up with a shotgun, you have every right to audibly laugh at them before they respawn so they can hear it.
Tip #5 – The Needler…
The Needler is located oppisite of the small lift.
One of the best ways of using this fine weapon is using it at a higher distance than your target. This could be while going off lifts, while on the second floor, or on the platform on in the center of the map (where the Rockets spawn). Use the Needler well and you’ll be sure to rack up some kills during the match (for tips on this weapon, please read our Needler article).
This should get you to dominate on Epitaph. Go out and eat your enemy’s family raw.
Things to Remember:
- Another way to put Spikers to good use would be to combine your ambush with a quick toss of a power drainer.
- Be mindful of the many places to hide.
- Small weapons can turn into power weapons when dual-wielded.
- Keep it close-range when using the shotgun.
- Stealth is incredibly easy in this map, so use it to your advantage.
