When you've settled into your spot, get on the cams and wait for the attackers. You might be able to use this to your advantage by making them think you're hiding somewhere you're not. Make sure that no drones saw where you were heading - if a drone sees you, pretend you're heading a different direction as you kill the drone.ĭon't get into your hiding spot unless you're sure that no drones saw where you were - if your hiding spot was seen, that's the first place they're going to check. Get in a position where you can sandwich the attackers as they're launching their assault on the objective.
Go away from the objective - Caveira is most effective while roaming. When a hatch breaks open, it makes a lot of noise, ruining any chance of a surprise attack. You've got plenty of time in the prep phase to grab your armor and put up your reinforcements.īreak open any hatches you might use during the action phase. Don't worry about it if you are seen though, since even if you try to hide from them, 90% of the time they'll see or ID you anyway. Them not knowing you're playing Cav is a very good thing, since they won't be prepared for you.
Use the shotgun up close, and the pistol for anything outside of its range. My preferred loadout for Caveira is the Spas-15 with a reflex sight (no laser) and no laser on her pistol. Barbed wire is always beneficial to the team, but Impacts can get you out of a tough situation and can also be used for making hiding spots. On the Luison, a laser sight could be quite useful, but it could also be very detrimental if it reveals your presence.ĭue to Caveira being very geared towards roaming, Impact nades are her best option. Other than your preferred sight, no attachments are really needed other than a muzzle attachment for the M12, if you choose to use it. The Spas-15 Shotgun - this is what you want to be using if you're going for interrogations - it has a tendency to down enemies rather than kill them, just like her Luison, and its high fire-rate can let it sweep a room pretty easily.
If you're going for kills and not aiming for interrogations, use this gun, since it doesn't down enemies nearly as often as her other two weapons - and it can get long-range 1 taps, if you aim carefully. The M12 SMG - it's just about on-par with the FBI's UMP - fires more slowly than most others but hits harder too. It's impossible to kill someone while using the pistol unless they're downed, or have been downed once before. It has very high damage up close, but it drops off a fair bit at range. The Luison - Cav's pistol is more of a primary than her actual primaries. I would personally suggest not buying Caveira until you're very familiar with all of the maps currently in the game.
If you don't have knowledge of the map, know where all the stairs and hatches are, and know how to flank, then you're at an extreme disadvantage. Note that this is more of a tips & tricks album than a real guide, but I try to cover everything I can think of. The way I play Caveira mostly relies on hiding and ambushing, so that's what I'll primarily be covering in this guide, however many of these tips can be applied to any way she can be played. She could pop up here and there, constantly keeping the attackers on edge and forcing them to hunt her down, or she could lie in wait for the perfect opportunity to flank them. She can suddenly appear and decimate an entire team - or she can be droned out and mowed down as she tries to change positions. Caveira is a difficult operator, both to play as and against.
