Shadowrun
Recommended weapons:
--------------------
Use Smartlink with a rifle (regular), and also buy a shotgun. You will
be able to destroy almost anything with this combo. Do not buy a rocket
launcher. It is not at all worth the hefty price. Even though it is
strong, its lack of ammo destroys its usefulness.
Recommended magic:
------------------
Buy Resurrect. This is one of the most useful spells. Teleport can be
also be useful at times.

Run faster:
-----------
In any game type, you will run faster with your pistol out.
Recommended races:
------------------
Play as an Elf with Katana with Wired Reflexes. You will be able to
deflect bullets, and if you get behind someone unaware they will bleed
out. Pair this with smoke and you will almost never die.
Pinnacle: Elf strategy:
-----------------------
Start the round with Resurrect. It helps earn money faster and your team
will enjoy it. Use cheap weapons ($750 or less) and never buy more than
$200 of ammunition. When you have $2,000, buy Gust. You will be able to
mess the enemy up when trying to get the Artifact, and while they are
trying to capture. Continue with weapon until you have enough to buy
Strangle. From this point on, quick captures will be easy. To get an easy
capture, first start the round ready with a weapon and magic powers set
to comfortable slots. Run up the ramp from the Ventilation Platform/
Transition Tower, then cast Strangle on the enemy. Exit to the lower
bridge. Jump off to the lower bridge, cast Gust at ground to absorb
damage from landing, grab the Artifact, and jump off lower bridge. You
must now make a run for the second enemy exit below the lower bridge,
atwenty feet away from the one you should have cast Strangle on. It
should only be about seven seconds into the match. Few people should be
there, if any. Make your way toward the entrance to the Lower Garden/
Satellite Relay and cast Strangle again on the Doorway to keep followers
out. Grab the Artifact, climb up the ladder, and make a run for the
scoring area. It should be about fifteen to twenty seconds into the match.
As long as you are an elf you should be running fast enough to beat your
enemies to the area.
Poco: Tribal Elf strategy:
--------------------------
Buy Teleport first. Drop into sewers and run until you are "Inside Yellow".
You should be directly below the Sewage Pit. Allow your teammates a few
seconds to get in there and get a small distraction. Teleport straight up
into the Artifact area. Teleport from directly beneath the Artifact. Grab
the Artifact the moment you are above ground and run to "The Mouth. Run
down the ramp. Once at the bottom of the ramp, run up the ramp from the
Mouth. Turn left, take the first right, and you should be in Brick House.
After that it should be a straight run to the drop zone. Beware of people
using the "Ninja" strategy (using Katana, Wired Reflexes, Smoke, and
Glider). They can easily catch up with you and make you bleed out.
If they are chasing from the start they should catch you near the Brick
House, but it should be a solid run most times.
