Extensive Nightfall guide
Okay first of, this’ll likely be a long read without a TLDR section, but it’s a guide with guaranteed success of upping your game for the 25 times making it to the dropship challenge. I’m one of thos...

@WingmannedbroLolz who says I found out anything xD. I have my own spots, but I never gave them away. Spots ‘nobody’ knows about (cause I was alone every time when I went there). I just give pointers, not the actual win! :P a magician doesn’t tell his secrets and neither do I :P
But I never used that one, but have seen it tho
@AWOL_312 lolz that’s something you would do! Negative xp would be awesome. Instead of pro I would be a dark Pro or negative Pro xD
So, here's a Shadow guide, to steal some (spot)light from the legends :P.
Best fun to have as a Shadow is at the beginning of the match, so look for a fast way to die. If you don't care about doing stuff as a legend, you can kill yourself very fast by dropping from the ship right into the water at the nearest edge of the map. This way, you come back as a shadow very quickly, being able to see where most of the other players are landing and even catch some of them right as they set foot in Kings Canyon. Then, the most hilarious part begins: some don't even know you're right behind them and keep looting like, some get really scared and run out in the open as if you wouldn't catch them, some duck in corners thinking that you won't see them, some surrender and start dropping loot or weapons in hope that you'll spare their life. This way, you can easily do about 3-4 legend kills before dying.
Next, chase legends fighting each other, to third party them. Jump on them as they reload or heal for an easy kill. If you get eliminated, go back to the same location, you'll probably get one of them eventually.
As more shadows join the match, look for where they land and try to group up with them. Tease encountered legends a little, some of them will try to shoot you and get noticed or flanked by other shadows.
Once the evac ship is coming, start checking buildings around the landing zone for campers. verify each roof, Pahtfinders often sit their waiting for the right moment to pop a zipline for the win. In some cases, it's even possible to land on top of the ship when it arrives and, from there, you can jump on any zipline and down incoming players.
Doing all of the above increase the chances of winning as a shadow and also becoming a champion, if you manage to get 5-6 kills. Also, since your shadow has the same shape as your chosen legend, it's possible that they use the same hitbox, so make sure you pick a smaller legend, its shadow may survive more bullets.
- @DoYaSeeMe Why you trying to hijack the thread! There is something seriously wrong with ppl who can’t Shadow xD. On average as a shadow I get 5 kills and I don’t even die or sepukku quickly. But I never got players drop their loot/weapons tho xD.
- @Koochi-Q :P.
There is a big problem when people team up early and avoid fights. These kind need to be clawed early, before having the chance to group up near the LZ and build up a strong defense.- @DoYaSeeMe So I did 5 rounds today (usually after work I play a lil shadowfall), in the last one at the 14 legends left a pathfinder and wattson were in the ‘first home’ at containment (towards bunker side) and kept killing all shadows cause those dumb **%^# kept going back and getting killed. They did it to the point that I thought they were in on it as well and that they just went as boosters for the 2 legends... eventually we killed them due to them having to run for the storm and a wraith that attacked them as well :P
