How do i play Blitz

[NickySins]

What's your guys tips for him, i was never a good shield player in R6S but i feel like i play really good with this shieldy specifically. So what's your tips for this shieldy guy?

[Spacecadet007-AKA-Reed]

rush, flash and bang on the enemy's head

[Deviant]

Run, press ability button, melee everyone because they cant even defend themselves. Balanced as it seems.

if you shoot make sure to crouch other wise theyll shoot ur feet then need face you for the flash to work other wise theyll be semi flashed and still be able see you.

[FilthyAnimal]

you just dont

Yeah the problem is thou, like every other shieldy guy *except for montagne*, they manage to shoot my arm. A good thing about Blitz thou is that he hides his arm when he is running which is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AWESOME when some one is running from me.

i usually wouldn't play brainless (by that i mean rushing objective, no offense) unless i have most of my squad playing brainless OR if one of em is a operator like dokkabae or lion OR if i am feeling suicidal. In all seriousness don't start rushing a dude from 10 meters away because thats alot of space for him to run away or shoot back, small corridors and rooms are your friend as blitz, so is information. My usual playstyle is to sneak like caveira *i know it sounds stupid sneaking with a shield * hide around corners till i hear the footsteps of a enemy, when i know they are soon to come around the corner i rush, flash and shoot, you can also use windows or doors to your advantage by covering the gun arm with it, allowing you to hipfire with a smaller chance of dying. i also use smokes if in a long hallway or to cover myself while planting to keep myself alive and drone out if i not sure about where enemies are

Thanks, there's actually some great tips here. But is there an way to land hip fires? Like does not moving and crouching help? Because i can't land one hit while hip firing with that shield lol

hipfire is really random, sometimes you even land headshots, as for your question about moving and crouching...

Things that affect hipfire:
*Moving makes your hipfire much worse
*Crouching makes your hipfire better, along with the benefit of covering your legs
*Adding a laser sight to your pistol also helps with hipfiring, but enemies can see where your laser lands.
*Shooting a shield op's shield also makes hipfire spread bigger, which is bad..

if you plan on hipfiring i would suggest crouching before doing so, and try not to move too much,

if you are in a tight spot where flash doesn't work due to range, a enemy is firing at you and you can't really get out of that enemies sight, you can:
* Hipfire crouch, exchanging consistency of shots for more protection ( probably best for 2 or more enemy engagements )
* Standing while aiming and shooting, the reason i would stand while aiming and shooting is because crouching makes you slow, and so your head is more vulnerable to shots than if you stand, exposing more of your body but keeping your head a bit harder to move, pairing this with lean spamming can help though lean spamming is a questionable tactic and is already being planned to be removed ( best for 1v1's if the enemy is too far to flash )
* Rush the enemy to get enough distance to flash, you will definitely take atleast 1 or 2 hits depending on the amount of enemies, (best to use for 1v1's,

hope this helps, also search YT for something useful, keep in mind this is simply from my experience as a high gold blitz player..
also uh

well where is one problem. the shield desync. you are running infront of an enemy and he is giving you an headshot. well i am an blitz main but it really pisses me. you shouldn't play him at all only if the shields are fixed.

I usually just go someware els on the map as soon as Blitz show Up. And the flash works great from the back at a distance.. because ♥♥♥♥ balance.

BLITZ MAIN LUL

[Viable_Golem4375]

I have mained Blitz since operation health so I think I can give you a few tips to help you out. The first thing to remember is that Blitz is only effective at around 5 meters and below, beyond that he really can only do one thing so really what it comes down to is closing the gap between you and the enemy without dying first. What I try my best to do is while i'm running I run behind tables and stuff to prevent getting shot in the legs, another thing to note is that explosives are really deadly to Blitz as hes a 2 armor instead of a 3 armor like the other shields so either 1 well placed nitro or 2 well placed impacts will kill you so if you notice the person has either of those then I would recommend either crouching and attempting to hip-fire them or try and take cover while they throw them at you to minimize the damage. As far as his flash goes it's what I would call situational as you need to stop running for a moment to use it which can cause problems as a slow Blitz is about as powerful as a small kitten so usually when I get the chance to use the flash it's while i'm crouched and then when they're blinded I start running at them for the easy kill. The other thing you need to look out for is traps of any kind, Kapkan's traps will put you at lower health which takes away many opportunities as Blitz to go for a kill, Frost is Frost, Ela's stuns make you move and look around slower essentially turning you into a free kill, and Lesion's mines make it so you can't run, I would personally say that Lesion is Blitz' biggest counter in the game right now. The main things you should look for for easy kills is either people sitting in corners who won't be able to run away fast enough or people who are alone. Blitz is very similar to Caviera in this way as he excels at stomping teams who have poor coordination or teammates who think they're Rambo, so generally if you see two people trying to kill you at the same time, unless they're just standing in a straight line in which case go for the free kills, avoid that entirely and go do something else. These is one other thing you can do and this is really the only way you can get a kill beyond 5 meters in front of you and that's what I call the Quick-ADS Trick, what you have to do here is get yourself lined up right on their head (note a laser sight is very helpful here, but you should have that on shields anyways) and then ADS and shoot them as fast as possible. The only thing that makes this hard is that shields have a slow ADS time of 600 ms similar to LMGs which gives you a very small window to shoot before you get shot, also this really only works on stationary targets so if someone is moving around a lot then don't bother with it they're just going to shoot you first. One last thing i would like to mention is always take the defuser as Blitz excels at getting into the objective where he can then back plant (plant with his back facing everything so the shield defends him) and get an easy plant. Hope this helped.
