All Points Bulletin Defending Objectives

If you want to get that cash money player vs player missions are where its at. No matter what the mission is you inevitably end up having to defend or attack an objective. Being able to hold your point is a massive part of winning the mission and getting the cash money bills.

Before you can make any tactical decisions we have to know whats against us. Luckily for us doing this is easy. Hit tab, then click on any players name and you will see the load out. If your playing with random team mates its a good idea to see what they are carrying also.

APB Sniper Defense

The big thing you want to watch out for are snipers. I wouldn’t say snipers are overpowered but once they get setup on an objective they are a massive pain in the ass. We need to detect and eliminate their range early. There are 2 ways to deal with snipers.

Hide

Simply stay out of site. Hide out in buildings or alley ways and render the sniper completely useless.

 

Roll up on ‘em

This is my preferred way of shit canning snipers. Get a truck or SUV with plenty of armor, then drive up to the sniper and force feed them bullets from an SMG. The trick to doing this is making sure you bail out on the correct side of your car. The right side of your car should be facing the sniper so you end up on the safe side.

 

APB Assault Rifle Defense

Assault rifles are the middle ground guns of APB. They reach the happy medium of range and firing power. Not quite long range and not quite short range, right in the middle. The best way to deal with an assault rifler is to take an extreme. Get really close or snipe from really far. I like to use SMGs up close to deal with them.

 

APB SMG Defense

Defending against SMGers can be slightly annoying. When some one annoys you its human nature to target and proceed to hunt them down like filthy wild animals. However this tendency can betray you when chasing an SMG player. The trick to beating SMGs is to push them out of position while using an assault rifle. Use grenades and camera angles to get them off corners and alley ways.

 

APB Defense Terrain

Whats around an objective is just as important as the noobs attacking it. Use the natural map features to your advantage by choosing the correct gun for that location. Indoor locations are great for inflating your SMG kill count. Outdoors are better suited for assault rifles and snipers.

The other great thing about terrain is that it exists. I’ve seen so many players make the mistake of standing directly on top of an objective, thats just going to feed the opposition. Its much better to take up positions around the objective. Places where you can clearly see whats happening at the site but are far enough away that your not a dummy target.
