Inspect the area before you rush
Determine the nearest shelter and direction of fire. Moving across an open area should have a clear goal: to take the next position or escape from a dangerous enemy. If there is nowhere to stop, do not start moving just to shorten the distance. On your first playthrough, it's helpful to take the time to observe how the situation changes as a new group of enemies appears.
Distinguish between waiting and inaction
Cover allows you to choose the moment to attack, but does not make any position safe forever. Watch out for opponents who change their distance or move around from the side. If the enemy threatens the shelter itself, prepare another route. In a calm situation, approaches can be controlled; when the threat changes, it is more important to change place in time than to continue the same plan because of an already occupied position.
Don't leave help without cover
In co-op play, communicate when you need help and identify nearby threats. The partner must understand whether it is possible to approach now or whether it is first necessary to reduce the pressure of the opponents. Trying to help without assessing the situation can lead to the loss of both participants. After a tough encounter, regroup and check your available resources before moving on to the next area.
Adjust the difficulty for training
If the first meetings are constantly interrupted before you understand what is happening, reconsider the chosen complexity and ease of management. This helps to study the movement and behavior of opponents. After mastering the basic rhythm, you can make the conditions more complicated. Someone else's fast pass does not have to suit your group: it is more useful to choose a pace in which both participants have time to see the situation and make meaningful decisions.
