How to capture beacon like a pro? Hey guys, welcome to my video and this video is separated into two parts beacon rush and domination. We'll look at beacon rush first. And first tip in beacon rush is getting the beacon first. And obviously this is obvious to you, some of you guys, but not everyone has been playing the game for long. And there's a reason why many good players run beacon runner fast robot off the start. And as you guys can see from this clip running a fast robot really helps. Obviously even though I am 2 vs 1, I'm able to capture this beacon and the sacrifice from just this one bot is pretty huge because it's really easier to defend a beacon than overtake a beacon. As you guys already know, the nature of this game is that you can spawn into a beacon. So that sacrifice made was definitely worth it. In terms of capturing a beacon, I thought in beacon rush, getting it first was probably one of the most important part of this game. The next tip is head count enemies. And I'll definitely repeat myself about the nature of this game. If you capture a beacon, you're able to spawn into that beacon. And as you can see, I'm approaching an open beacon here with the busted up robot. And obviously I have saved up my ability and you have to really count 6 guys because other guys, one or two guys not spawned in could actually be searching where to spawn in. And that is a crucial part that you have to think about when you're capturing a beacon. Okay the next one up is save your ability. And you saw that from the last clip and this is also an important one to capture a beacon especially in beacon rush because obviously again I'm repeating myself again. They can spawn in here just like that. And with this rider having multiple dash, I'm able to dash and avoid some of the specters orkin here and I was able to capture this beacon. This next clip shows the same saving my ability. It does help that my teammate is behind me. So two players aren't both engaged to me. But as soon as I kill this pursuer, I understood that there was three players not spawning in. So even though I'm getting hit by this player in front of me, I did actually save my ability for this moment right here and I was able to eliminate this enemy and capture this beacon. So this is just an additional tip but you really have to be patient because there are always the all moments in beacon rush and you have to stay around the beacon and obviously stay in cover and you really have to wait for your chance for beacon capturing opportunity. And on to domination. So in domination, first one up is counter play. So you really have to win a fight, win an engagement around the beacon to really capture a beacon. To say enemy already had the beacon, it's not like they can spawn in a beacon. They have to walk all the way from their spawn. And if you're walking all the way from your spawn towards enemy to capture a beacon, you can really tell what they're running. So countering what they have, thinking about that engagement, it's very crucial in domination. And obviously these footage shows you pretty much countering other bots. And dominant bots like Aries or other Pantheon bots, I really like countering these bots with Hellburners. And the point is here is just really mismatch and use counter robots. Next one up is mismatch speed. And this is very important because there are open beacons in domination, especially during the mid game. And obviously running a fast bot, there's not much point in running a fast bot as your first pick. But in mid game, when there are open beacons and when enemies are on one side, there's always opportunity to walk into that open beacon and capture that beacon. And obviously here my team was lacking in beacons. So running low key helps. It's really easy to run low key to do this because obviously it has that infinite still and the speed is just amazing. But you can also do this with other fast bots, Shrider, Kumio and Hellburners. Normally, you don't want a beacon near enemy spawn, but it does help during mid game. And it buys your teammates time to get other beacons. And obviously you can do that with speed here. That's the point. Next one up is move cover to cover. And obviously a lot of inexperienced players don't do this and a lot of experienced players are really good at this. So this footage shows you, me with Mercury. My attempt is to get that left beacon here and it looks like we have two versus two situation except this person decides to go towards the center, I believe. And I'm trying to use these two covers to get there. But I am two versus one and I am outnumbered. So I'm trying to find a different way. So while I'm doing this, I still have to find different covers to get there. I still want that left beacon there. Now I am analyzing where other enemies are here. So I can really think about which covers to use. Obviously I see a cover here trying to use this cover and hopefully I'll approach when those two guys on the left use up their ability. And I'm locking on to a couple other players to just really measure their distance. And although I'm taking it, I'm not using the ability. And this guy obviously used his ability, Richard Abusion. And I'm able to use my own ability, L-Dive. I didn't get the L-Dive in but I'm able to take this guy out and take this guy out as well to capture the beacon. And obviously this is domination, they can't spawn in here. So I'm able to successfully overtake the beacon. And thank you guys for watching this video. I know that a lot of good players, elite players were watching this as well. So if you have any other tips, feel free to share it in the comments. And I also have my own channel as well. So check my channel out and I'll catch you guys on the next video. See you guys.
