Mastering the advanced movement system is crucial for high-level play. Don't just use boost jumps and slides; integrate them seamlessly into your combat flow. Use boost jumps to quickly gain a height advantage over enemies, allowing for easier headshots or to escape grenades. Combine a power slide into a boost jump to cover long distances quickly while maintaining momentum. Wall running can be used to bypass enemy positions, reach elevated areas, or simply avoid ground-based hazards.
In zero-gravity, practice using your grappling hook not just for traversal, but also offensively. You can grapple to an enemy for a quick melee kill, or grapple to cover to quickly reposition during a firefight. Learn to 'strafe' in zero-G by using small bursts of your thrusters to make yourself a harder target. The key is to be unpredictable and constantly moving, making it difficult for the SDF to land hits. Practice these techniques in less intense missions before attempting them in Veteran difficulty.
