General Tips
  • Danger Zones are rarely ever a problem in Combat Challenges if you are aware enemies have them.
  • Scattered Weapons are like Danger Zones, but instead try and stay away from them in Combat. In Predators, they shouldn't be an issue if your strategies are good since you'll never come close to them.
  • Increased Aggression is not actually a deterrent in Combat Challenges since it almost always results in you getting more points.
  • Free Medal should always be used on a Predator Challenge that you feel most uncomfortable about
  • Protective Aura is probably the most annoying Modifier in the game since it's immune to everything
  • Decreased Health should be used on Maps with very low probabilities of being hit (For Predator Maps, 1 hit = death)
