Bronze to Silver: trade together and buy together
Improve the rounds your team can convert by pairing your peeks, checking the next buy and keeping useful information after a death.
Bronze players often recognize a good individual fight but overlook the team position needed to make it safe. The next step is making your teammate's action easier to support, even when nobody is using elaborate tactics.
Follow at a useful distance
Before an entry, choose one teammate to support. Stay close enough to see the defender they contact, without standing in the same narrow line. If they die before you can see the fight, examine the spacing and route. Running behind someone does not automatically make the death tradeable.
Match the team's economic round
Check credits and the next-round outlook before buying. A strong rifle alone cannot replace missing team utility and armor. If your team is saving, agree on a simple close-range plan rather than taking five isolated long-range duels with weak purchases.
Give one useful call after contact
State location and confirmed action: “two seen near the entrance, one moving back.” Separate that from a guess about the rest of the team. Once dead, avoid directing every movement of the surviving player. Review two rounds where your teammate made contact and ask whether you could have helped earlier. Better support produces clearer practice opportunities than hoping the next lobby supplies perfect coordination.
