General Strategy (All Classes)

- 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. It can be reached through explosive jumps or wall climbing.
- If Hale is on the Upper Walkway, avoid crossing the Main Walkway when possible. He may use this position to bait mercenaries into isolating themselves, then ambush them with a surprise Ground Pound.
Class-specific strategy
Scout
- 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.
Soldier
Pyro
- If Hale is caught on fire after walking through the Tram's lava, use the Axtinguisher on Hale to deal extra damage and gain a speed boost.
- Use your airlast to push Hale into the Crocodile Pit.
- Your airblast can also be used to defend the Upper Walkway from Hale's attacks.
Demoman
Heavy
Engineer
- A good spot to build a nest is in the security room and the Upper Walkway. The Upper Walkway is high ground advantageous, and with the help of a willing Pyro, you can use their airblast to defend your buildings, wasting Hale's time.
Medic
Sniper
- The Upper Walkway is a good spot to snipe Hale, as Hale must go out of his way to attack you from its high ground, wasting precious time.
Spy
Saxton Hale
- If you are fighting a player while in the lower half of the Food Court, the Crocodile pit can be used to instantly kill players by knocking them into it.
- If several players are turtling in the security room, your Mighty Slam can weaken their buildings significantly. The Sweeping Charge can be used to charge through any buildings blocking the entrance.
