Teabag Prevention #23 – Valhalla

Alright, bitches, it’s time to step it up. We’ve gone through all the Lone Wolves maps, and by now you should have learned how to kill anyone and everyone working solo like Wolverine. Now it’s time to join the X-Men. We WILL show you how to play well with others. Even if it’s not depending on your team mates, helping them out is key, and knowing where everything is, what the best points in the maps are, and how to most effectively kill on these team maps is important to being in a team. Even if you aren’t directly interacting with your teams, here is the best way to kill everyone you possibly can on these team maps. 

THIS WEEK: VALHALLA

TIP #1 – WHERE MAH POWER WEAPONS AT?

Spartan Laser

This weapon is located in the center of the map. It’s ideal for vehicles and more importantly, Banshees. The fight for the Spartan Laser may be tough, as it is a lot of people’s first destination. Flank around the perimeter and hit ’em from behind. Once you’ve thinned out the herd, go claim your prize and destroy any vehicles that may come your way. Get to a side or a base quick, though, as you might be sniped by the guy who just got the…

Sniper Rifle

Sniper Rifles are located on the lower level of the base. Be weary of going off the lift right away. It’s possible to snipe someone from the opposite base. Ideal camping spots may not necessarily be in the center of the map, but on the sides.

Most Popular Sniping Spots

Pelican

Bubble Shield Spawn.

Next Weapon:

Missile Pod

The Missile Pod can be used against any vehicle and spawns symmetrically on both bases (the identical structures on either side of this map). You may not to waste it on a Mongoose, unless the passenger is carrying something important, but rather a Banshee or Warthog.

TIP #2 – USE YOUR POWER DRAINER TO INCAPACITATE AN ENEMY VEHICLE

The Power Drainer can be found at the base. As Brian would say it, “Use it to stop an enemy vehicle.”

This also comes in handy when you’re guarding a strategic area. Let’s say the flag is dropped during a game of Capture the Flag and you’re defending – throw a Power Drainer to discourage anyone from even coming near it. Don’t you wish you could throw a Power Drainer near your hot sister?

Bubble Shields could also be used to guard an area. It’s also especially helpful when a Warthog or Banshee is firing on you or a team mate. Don’t be selfish. Protect your team, but make sure you don’t get killed while doing it. That’s something we call “counter productive”. Say it. Gooooood. 

Regenerators can be used to HOLD a strategic area. Use it to get that extra boost during a firefight. It’s used best when you have your team behind you.

TIP #3 – THE BATTLE RIFLE IS YO FRAIND

The Battle Rifle is important here. It’s found at the base near the SMG’s. An Assault Rifle isn’t going to do you much good if the person you’re killing is far away. While using the BR, it’s important to use cover. It’s also important to cover your teammates. One cannot be more grateful to a teammate if they’re the one who saved their Killing Frenzy. BR’s are the way to go. Practice the techniques articulated in the hyperlinked Battle Rifle article above. 

TIP #4 – MAPS.GEEKSCAPE.NET

The art of driving a Mongoose can be difficult to learn on Valhalla. You don’t want to go down the center right away, so you need to find a different route. The least bumpy, but possibly the most dangerous route would be down the Bubble Shield side. You have balls, but you’re going to die with them in your hands…

…so feel free to take the other side.

If you want to be protected. be able to step off the Mongoose, and be provided with cover right away, your best bet would be to cruise down down the Pelican side. It’s more populated with your team mates (usually), and gives you the cover of the caves on your way to the other base. 

 The emergency route, would be of course, the center.
