- 42 damage | - 42 damage is the magic number for weapons, and as much accuracy and stability as possible (although it's still gonna be low on high ROF guns). On Overkill and under, it'll let you kill most regular units in 1-2 headshots. I believe 48 is the magic number for Death Wish. | ||
- Always mark special units by hitting F on them. Not only does it let you see them everywhere, but it warns your team about them too. | - Always mark special units by hitting F on them. Not only does it let you see them everywhere, but it warns your team about them too. | ||

- After killing a guard in stealth, be sure to answer his pager. Otherwise, an alarm will sound. Your team can only answer a max of 4 without an alarm going off, though. | - After killing a guard in stealth, be sure to answer his pager. Otherwise, an alarm will sound.

- If you don't know what skill tree to try first, try Enforcer. It helps you shoot guys, bring more ammo, and wear lots of armor, and those are all very useful things for a group. | - If you don't know what skill tree to try first, try Enforcer.

- Inspire Ace is insanely good but has a 20-second cooldown. If a teammate's not in dire need (say, downed by a special with no other enemies nearby), you may want to pull him up by hand to save the Inspire for later. | |||
- Call out specials with the shout button whenever you can. Especially if you do not use a microphone. | - Call out specials with the shout button whenever you can. Especially if you do not use a microphone. | ||

- It is also okay to NOT try and revive someone who has been downed in a terrible place. If you do, thin the enemy near your teammate as much as possible before attempting to get him up. | - It is also okay to NOT try and revive someone who has been downed in a terrible place.

- Related to the above, all players now have the ability to dominate enemies without spending any skill points. An easy way to get a great boost to your domination chance is to knock the dude down. | - Related to the above, all players now have the ability to dominate enemies without spending any skill points.

- No, seriously, shoot snipers. Not only do they have hacker-level aim, but their shots bleed through armor into health, which no other enemy does. | |||

- For anyone just starting out, choose one perk deck and stick with it until you max it. All decks have some incredibly useful skills in common, including increased ammo pickup and 45% more experience gained. Crew Chief, Armorer and Muscle are all solid and do not require DLC. | - For anyone just starting out, choose one perk deck and stick with it until you max it.

- Fuck the SWAT Van. Unless you're in desperate need of getting rid of it, try to path around it instead of shooting it because it takes massive amounts of ammo to destroy. | |||

- When doing a stealth Bank Heist, or in Firestarter day 3, shoot the tellers and guard the panic button in the back hall with extreme prejudice. ECMs don't turn these off, and civilians can and will go right for them. | - When doing a stealth Bank Heist, or in Firestarter day 3, shoot the tellers and guard the panic button in the back hall with extreme prejudice.

- In Hoxton Breakout Day 2, a good choice for a keycard is usually closing off the side door between the two skyways. Shutting it keeps a pair of sniper spawns from firing at you. | |||
- Hotline Miami's meth cook sequence is exactly the same, every time (Muriatic > Caustic > Hydrogen). It's written on the whiteboard above the caustic soda's table, if you forget. | |||
- Bags chucked in the water in Watchdogs Day 2 won't disappear, but they do respawn all the way back at the beginning of the level. Don't throw more than four in at a time. | |||
- Jumping onto the folded-up blankets in Lab Rats keeps you from taking fall damage. | |||
- Yes, the motorcycles in Biker Heist Day 1 handle that badly. Their hitbox is much, much larger than it looks. | |||
