Decoy Anyone?
by [C3]FastRex
Life isn't fun if you don't have any occupation or a work in you life. But then, if you REALLY don't have any work, why not try out in Counter-Strike where you can pick any job ranging from shooters to campers. Well I have found my own number of jobs in this game; one of them is being a decoy.
To be a decoy isn't that hard at all. All you have to do is just go in another direction and disturb some of the CT and then die early…not! This job is just as hard as rushing and other job you can find in the game. Even though you may find a bit easy, try play in a 10 on 10 battle and you're the only decoy in your side. So how to stay alive? Here is some of my advice. I can't guarantee if it works on you but if it works, good for you then.
| Arm properly = Get the body armor with the
helmet. It provides you with the maximum protection and being a decoy is somewhat
suicidal. Primary weapons = Scoped weapons or silenced does well here. Scoped weapons allow you to aim at a distance to disturb or kill a threat at a comfortable distance. Silenced to prevent the opposing team from detecting you. Secondary weapons = Not much of a tactic but you need to know your sidearm really well. The silenced USP for CT's and the dual Berettas for the T's are a popular choice. Grenades = Flashbangs is a counter-rush tool. Be sure to turn your back after throwing this tool. After the flashbang goes off, rush or throw the HE grenade while their team is still disoriented. Smoke grenades provide cover for yourself or a team when rushing against snipers. It also produces lag, which is why most people don't use it. Useful as a HE decoy, it doesn't blind teammates when holding ground. Defuse Kit = Unused and unwanted, this equipment is not needed for CT's who intend to frag and lose the round. Defusing maps are popular because it's almost like a death match map. When the T's are winning the game and fragging along the way, the CT's would wonder where their money went. |
To be a decoy is to flank or backstab. To do that
is to go the long way or low traffic routes. During the battle, try radioing your friends
to either hold position or fall back to play defense. At the same time, the decoy will be
a disturbance that will throw bombs or fire shots to get their attention. Most of the
opposing team will draw attention to the decoy and at the same time, radio your friends to
rush in a wolf-pack manner. Their backs will be turned to face you while your teammates
will assault them. By this time, your life will be low or at worst, dead. Keep an eye out
for a team rushing you. Snipers are the bane to decoys. The end justifies the mean and in
conclusion, decoys are the martyrs for the cause.
P.S. This is an optional career choice. Don't force yourself and don't expect help.
