Attack people by shooting nearby explosives. When your opponent is near a barrel, computer, or anything explosive, shoot at the explosive. This causes the explosive to explode next to your opponent, thus causing major damage to their health.

Hide your explosives and or yourself with smoke. For this technique, you will need a grenade and a smoke bomb. Throw your smoke bomb where your opponent is. Then, throw your grenade, frag, MIRV or mine. This will result in an explosion inside the smoke, which your opponent can not see and get away in time without taking major damage. Smoke bombs are effective for hiding yourself to escape he opponent(s), consume items, or reloading guns

• Cook your grenades before throwing them. "Cooking" means to hold and press down on the grenade, and release it. This makes it so that when you release the grenade it explodes faster. Do not hold for too long or it will explode and kill you. Frag and MIRV grenades explode after 5 seconds of cooking. Smoke grenades, Mines and IR Strobes will not explode during cooking. Air strikes will appear at the the direction 5 seconds since a IR Strobe has been thrown.
