Start with information
PvP in an extraction hunt is a positioning problem before it is a damage check. Learn where the other team is, how many players are present, and which exit the fight will close if it becomes loud.
- Use a marker or sound cue to identify the first angle.
- Count players before spending a movement or ultimate tool.
- Keep one route out of the engagement before taking the first shot.
Choose the engagement
The best opening is the one that removes an answer: a reload, revive, loot animation, cast, or split rotation. Do not start a clean fight in the centre when a side angle can make the first exchange uneven.
- Pressure the player furthest from the team first.
- Use cover to force the enemy to cross before committing.
- Stop chasing when the target reaches a second squad or an unknown room.
Win the reset
A kill does not finish a PvP encounter. Heal, reload, move off the first angle, and check the reward route before opening the inventory. The team that resets first usually owns the next decision.
- Move after a loud hit or confirmed elimination.
- Reserve one defensive or mobility tool for the third party.
- Extract when the value is secured instead of converting a clean win into a greedy wipe attempt.
