Guide To Own In Drop
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUIDE TO OWN IN DROP
The outline of the guide.
1) Dropping
2) Shooting people when they come down
3) Weapons
4) Life refills
1) Dropping
When you spawn and begin your descent the first thing to remember is that there may be players on the middle level. If there are you can do one of three things. You can try to avoid getting shot and otherwise ignore them,(not recommended) you can try to blow their heads off as you're falling, or you can land on a box and jump up and down while shooting the other player's head.
I don't recommend the first one because if the opposing player has some experience or a decent weapon he will either kill you or inflict major damage so that the people on the ground will kill you quickly. The falling and shooting method works well if you're playing a newb that doesn't jump because you can kill him in two shots with any weapon. If you're playing a pro I recommend coming down on the opposite side of the screen and shooting him if you want to use the falling strategy. I use the land on box strategy almost all the time because your shots are more accurate and you get more kills. Just remember if you use this strategy you need to jump up and down on the box you land on or a pro will blow your head off.
Also if you find yourself falling with another player as soon as you're mortal blow his head off.(land on a box if you need too) If you don't you'll die.
When you reach the final screen pick one player and aim for his head. It is preferable to aim for the players farthest away from you first until you are to low to hit them because you can hit their heads much more accurately. When you hit the ground finish off the players starting with the closest one to you then fill up on life.(more on that later)
2) Shooting people when they come down
Once you're on the ground it is usually best to pick one of the two corners of the screen to shoot from because that is where the health crates are and because you will have a more accurate shot at the players coming down. If there is a pro from your team on the bottom pick the corner opposite to him. If there is a newb in a corner use the corner he is in.(he will shield you from bullets)
Most importantly always, ALWAYS, jump up and down when players start coming down it will make you much harder to hit. When players come down at some distance from you, aim for their heads and blow them away. Once again aim for the players that come down farthest from you first because you will have a better shot at them.(unless another player is in the way) If there is only one player and he comes down right on top of you jump toward the middle and aim for his chin.
3)Weapons
When you get 3 kc you can buy the Mc-11 if you like but it is usually a waste of kc's. I wait for the two 7 kc weapons. Either works, personally I prefer the MP5 to the UMP but whichever works better for you is fine. When you get to 14-18 kc's get whichever weapon you prefer they are all good.(I prefer the L85A1 myself but the P90 works well if you have a slow computer) When you get 28 and 30 kc's get the AK47 then the MK48. When you get 38 kc's you can get the M29 if you prefer. I use the M29 when I am fighting one or two droppers at once and the MK48 if I am fighting three or more because its faster rate of fire and additional ammo means you can mow down more people faster.
Weapons to stay away from:
The shotguns are not very effective in this map so don't waste kc's on them. I see a lot of newbs using the protogun because they think it's cool. Well it is but it is a terrible choice for drop because it has very little ammo and if you miss your dead. Besides there isn't really anything for droppers to hide behind anyway. Any other weapon is fine but I consider the USP a waste on any map.
4) Health refills
When you have almost reached the ground drop by the health crate and refill if you need too. Otherwise just jump up and refill when you need too. Really good droppers can refill while fighting. Also if you run out of ammo with a really good weapon but have full life you should still get a refill because without a good weapon you won't get kills and you will die faster.
Thanks for reading my guide.
