I figured out multiple Strategies.
1. Beginner.
Screw the Corn. Run away, the farer the Better. Try to stay alive, when well geared, go for the Corn.
2. Corn Taker.
"Career Strategie". Get in, gather all you can, Kill everyone as soon as you have a Sword. In the beginning you are gonna die often, but practice forms Masters.
3. If/Then
Here you depend on your first Chest. Run in the middle, and Grab the nearest Chest. If there is a Sword in it: Grab it. Only it. Kill everyone Nearby.
Why? When grabbing a chest at the corn, nobody instantly puts on armour. If you uave the sword and kill the ones at your chest, its yours for sure. Then try looting other People. You will gear up fast. If you survive the great huddle, you will ne one of the best equipped Players so far.
If there is no Sword, grab everything in This particular Chest, then run. Go grab other Chests. With this, you have some Basic stuff to survive. And you are still ahead of some careers.
4. Strategies relying on your situation.
This Strategies develop during the game. You'll need to have some fundamental equipment.
4.1 Chest runner.
You need: a set up route, where you can grab the most chests in the smallest timeframe.
You do: Walk that path. Even if you are well equiped, continue. You will survive likely, and avoid ANY fight. If you are one of the last Two, you are well equipped to F*ck the other one.
4.2 Lonesome Sniper.
You need: Food, a bow, some arrows, a place that is close to a street, where youncan only be attacked from the front and where you can get down emediately.
You do: stay wher you are. Because you are not moving, food will not get rare. And with a bow, you need 3 Shots max. To kill somebody. Then you can get down, gather the loot, and get up again, waiting for the next one. Pro: you can get many kills. Con: you are screwed when it comes to deathmatch and you have nothing.
4.3 Corn Camper:
You need: A sword, the possibility to get INSIDE the corn unnoticed.
You do: Camp. Dig yourself in the leaf wall(best in map 2), and wait. When the chests are refilled, grab them quickly. Hide again crouching, and if somebody comes to loot the empty chest, catch them from behind and by surprise.
What do you think? Anything to add/change?
