Where Tick shines
- Mines can deny routes from behind cover
- His detached head can pressure an approaching threat
Know your limits
- Very fragile when enemies get close
- Open terrain makes staying protected harder
One habit to practice
Place mines where the enemy wants to move next. Leave yourself an escape route instead of backing into a corner.
