  • The Upper Walkway can be used as a place to hide from Hale, as he likely would not go out of his way to check there.

Class-specific strategy

  • In addition to its regular use to get health back, the Mad Milk is extremely useful for putting yourself or your teammates out when they are on fire from the lava.

  • If Hale is caught on fire after walking through the Tram's Lava, use the Axtinguisher upon Hale to deal extra damage and gain a speed boost.

  • The Huo-Long-Heater has a 25% damage bonus to players on fire. Use it in scenarios where Hale is on fire from the Tram's lava.

  • If you are fighting a player while in the lower half of the Food Court, try pushing the player into the Crocodile pit.
  • If several players are turtling in the security room, try using your Ground Pound to weaken defenses.
    • Engineers often block the entrance to the room by placing several Dispensers around it, making it more difficult to enter and start attacking mercenaries inside. Use your Sweeping Charge or Mighty Slam to charge through this line of defense.
