Positioning Priority
3. Zero Build Tactics
Zero Build mode emphasizes positioning, cover usage, and mobility items. Success depends on map knowledge and smart rotations rather than building skill.
Core Zero Build Principles
Movement & Positioning
- Natural cover prioritization
- Mobility item management
- Third-party avoidance
- Zone edge gameplay
Combat Strategies
- Range advantage maintenance
- Peek shooting techniques
- Healing prioritization
- Disengagement tactics

In Zero Build, positioning is permanent. Every movement decision has lasting consequences since you can't build out of bad positions. Plan three moves ahead and always have an escape route.
