This article is about Community Payload Race strategy.

General strategy

  • Remember that stopping the other team from pushing their cart is just as important as pushing your own cart.
  • There is a limit to how fast the cart can go; once you reach that point try to focus on stopping the other team.
  • Remember that you can use your own cart as cover.
  • A well-placed Sentry can easily diminish the health of the enemy cartpushers; help secure a victory for your team.
  • Slowly killing the enemy is not a wise decision because the Payload can heal nearby team members.

  • Place Sentry Guns along the enemies track to slow there advance.

  • Stick to the back to minimize being killed while healing your teammates.

  • Snipers can take advantage of the large amounts of players swarming around the Payload and pick them off one by one due to the predictable path of the cart; keep in mind that any non-lethal hits can be healed by the cart in a short period of time.
  • You can also utilize the high density of players on the Payload by saturating the enemy with Jarate; the damage amplification of the device will assist your team in clearing the cart.
  • Use the Machina's piercing shot to take out 2 or more enemy players when they are pushing the Payload; players generally cluster around the cart, making piercing shots an effective method of weakening and/or stopping the opposition.

  • Scout ahead to check for enemy Sentry nests.
