Beginner Fundamentals

Entry planning

1

Buy for the round plan — match your purchase to the team economy and the round objective, never leave Hush without a competitive gun.

2

Choose the first contact point — before the barrier drops, decide the site, the entry lane, and the first dangerous angle.

3

Sequence abilities before the swing — layer your telekinetic utility before you commit, so the entry is supported.

Converting rounds

1

Clear angles methodically — enter with crosshair at head level and let teammates trade you when the entry turns bad.

2

Convert the advantage — after a successful entry, help secure the spike and keep abilities for the retake.

3

Review the round decision — name whether the loss came from aim, timing, communication, economy, or ability order.
