Middle Part of Blackout Game

Do Not Engage Enemies All The Time

In the middle of the game, you may find lots of enemies around the map. However, think if it is worth starting combat. The ultimate goal of this mode is to be a survivor and in most cases, it would be best to avoid combat.

How To Disengage From Attacking Enemies

When you are under fire, if you cannot get into a vehicle for a quick getaway, you can slide to avoid getting hit! Jumping will also make your movements unpredictable, so mix them up to lower the chances of getting hit!

Continuous Sliding Actions Will Not Let You Slide For A While

Continuous sliding actions sound like a very good way to avoid enemy attacks. But, Sliding for 5-6 times or more will stop the slide animation. This might be a mechanic that prevents you from exploiting the sliding mechanic.

How To Spot Enemies

Auditory Cues

Audio is a helpful mechanic in the game for spotting enemies. It is best when you play Blackout Mode with Headphones on to better hear any auditory cues that the game is giving you!

Confirm With Your Eyes

Confirm With Your Eyes

Late Part of Blackout Game

Throw Sniper Rifle When Safe Zone Is Small

It would be better to swap your Sniper Rifle to a weapon that is effective in Mid to Close Range combat if the Safe Area is small.

Heal Up & Repair Armor If You Haven't

If you are not facing anyone at the moment, now would be a good time to heal yourself up and repair your armor so that you will be fully healed up and shielded when facing the last few enemies!

How To Unlock Multiplayer & Zombie Skins

Level Up Your Echelon In Blackout

Level Up Echelon Unlock Skins

Some character skins will unlock at certain levels. You just need to keep playing Blackout mode to receive these cosmetic skins.

Complete Character Missions In Blackout Mode

In a Blackout round, looting Supply Drops, Supply Crates, & eliminated players can reward you with a character mission - an objective you need to complete to unlock a certain skin.

Objectives Change Per Character

Objectives depend on the character mission you receive. Objectives can mean using certain weapons or consumables, avoiding damage from the ring, or getting a certain place in the match.

Complete The Objective Within The Round

Once you receive the character mission, you'll need complete the objective within the round. If you get eliminated without completing the objective, you'll have to find the challenge again in another round.

Change Your Skin To Gain A Slight Advantage

Since Skins can be selected in Blackout, it would be best to choose a skin that does not grab much attention when playing the game. It would be better to go for darker or neutral colors that do not stand out when in the field!
