How To Get Better At Raid Land For Hunters

By: EliTheDude
The best way to improve is to analyze your gameplay. What does that mean? It means look at what you are doing now and what is wrong with it. It is important to note that no one is ever done getting better, you can always improve.

How do I analyze my gameplay? Well, look at other players. Compare better players to yourself to find how you can improve. For example, if your main character is the hunter, then you can’t be sitting still and shooting, especially since someone can come in from a sneaky place and just headshot you easily because of your low health.

Common Issues and How To Fix Them Problem: I keep dying easily as a hunter. Solution for Hunter: Move! This sounds obvious but it is easier said than done. It is also important to use your abilities. As a hunter, your abilities are: - Attack/Left-Click: Quick shot (Shoots an arrow where the player is pointing. Does 45 damage body shot and 75 damage headshot). - Attack/Left-Hold: Charged shot (Shoots an arrow where the player is pointing but does more damage. Needs to be held down for a couple of seconds. Does 95 damage bodyshot and 125 damage headshot). - Shift/Right-Click while walking: Quick Dodge (The Hunter slides in the direction the Hunter is walking). - Stand still and Shift/Right-Click: Crouch (The Hunter is quiet when crouch walking). - Attack/Left-Click in air: Slowmo Shot (Slows falling when drawing bow). So use them as much as you can!

Quick Shot

When you find yourself in a tough situation where you and your opponent are not making much progress(this could be when both players are missing consistently) just spam. Use the Quick shot perk and hit them as much as you can, if you hit a hunter 3 times with a body shot, they will be almost guaranteed to die. Hit two head-shots with quick shots and they will die as well.

Charged Shot

With a charged shot, you can hit someone and kill them a lot faster because it does more damage but avoid using this when you are in very close-range of your opponent. Try to use this as much as possible because “clearing out the field” of opponents will allow you to grab gold without being at risk of getting shot. This applies in many other cases as well so make sure to know when you should use the quick shot and when you should use the charged shot instead.

Dodge

Only dodge when it is necessary. Dodging can be really helpful when you are in tough situations and can allow you to grab a bunny quickly(this will be covered later). One of the ways of killing other players is by outsmarting them. If the opponent is trying to shoot you but they might have a bit better aim than you, confuse them. You can do this by simply dodging once to one direction and then dodging back to where you started. This will make the opponent have a harder time hitting you but it also can help you hit them easier. If you practice this enough, you can build a muscle memory and assume the approximate location of where your opponent will be once you dodge and hit them. This will take some practice(practice techniques will also be covered later).

Crouch

This is important because it is one way you can add variation in your gameplay. If your opponent is trying to shoot you crouch until you know that the arrow has passed you and then you can go into a plan of action such as dodging away and then sniping.

Slowmo Shot

This is another really good way to add variation to your gameplay! When your opponent is mid-range from you or you want to snipe someone but you are falling, use the slow mo shot. This can help you stay up in the air but again, this needs to be limited because it can be almost the same as standing still on the ground. You can also use this to confuse your opponents. Try to normally jump a 1-2 times but then change it up and do a slow fall for a second or so, that will confuse them and force them to miss which gives you time to get into a better position and kill the opponent.

Tips Getting A Bunny - When you are low health and need a bunny to give you full health, you need to do it quickly and then get back onto the battlefield. You can do this by dodging to the bunny and then using a quick shot to kill it. Bunnies don’t have much health so you don’t need to waste time making a charged shot. The goal is to time your dodge just right so that you can kill the bunny as you dodge past the heart and then take the heart on your dodge back to the battlefield.

Practice Techniques - I highly recommend practicing in a private room. Just practice your accuracy on the gold guards and also act like the gold guards are your opponents. Since 3 of them spawn near gold every time, you can practice “clearing the field” like I talked about before. Once you feel confident, start practicing it in a real match.

Memorize - Memorization is key no matter what character you use. What do I mean by memorizing? I mean that you should memorize the map and the amount of movement required to hit the opponent(also known as accuracy). This will really help you get an advantage to your opponents. A bit more specific information on this can be found in a future document.
