Beyond basic cover and shooting, mastering advanced combat techniques can turn the tide in difficult firefights. Always prioritize headshots; they deal significantly more damage and conserve precious ammunition. Utilize blind fire from cover to suppress enemies or hit targets without fully exposing yourself, though accuracy will be lower. Learn to effectively use grenades and Molotovs to clear out entrenched enemies or destroy vehicles. Flanking maneuvers are incredibly effective against groups of enemies, especially when you have AI companions drawing fire. Don't be afraid to retreat to a more advantageous position if you're overwhelmed. Remember to pick up enemy weapons and ammo to replenish your supplies, and always check corners before advancing. Environmental hazards, like explosive barrels, can also be used to your advantage.
