Shadowfall

Early game:

If you can easily kill other legends, then land in the middle of the circle and you'll be near the dropship always. Still, try to get out and hide after kills so that you don't become the primary attention of multiple shadows too early - you will eventually die to either shadow or other player, if you keep shooting them all game long. My favorite pasttime as shadow is to land into a legend duel and just grief one of them (or both, if the second one doesn't understand what happened or I get him on reload XD).

If you do have trouble killing legends, then just land outside of the circle and you'll roughly be in top10 by the time you enter circle and shouldn't have trouble running to the ship and you should also not meet any shadows until you are close to the ship.

Shadows do 150 damage, so make sure you have at least blue armor, otherwise winning will be much harder.

Mid-lategame:

1) Don't get startled by shadows and don't try to just run through. Kill them all. It's fun and it pays off. Make sure to always prioritize shadows that are going for you, don't try to be the good samaritan.

2) Don't rush to the ship. Watch where shadows are landing (watch the sky, watch behind you regularly (like the rearview mirrors while driving)) and even wait for them to land before moving on (they're easiest to kill while landing).

3) Shadows have 40 health (I think?). Use weapons that don't leave them at 1-2 health (e.g., 2 shots of flatline = 38 damage - not the best). Although I do like spitfire (3 shots), just because you just don't need to reload it. If you have cool nerves and decent aim, then double tap G7 or hemlok are probably the best weapons (with purple mag) - 1 burst, 1 kill. Avoid other snipers like plague - they're really terrible vs shadows, I also find shotguns quite bad too (PK too slow, Eva needs a reload too often). Also, it hammerpoint p2020 does not 1 shot either (I don't even think the hopup works vs shadows) - bad.

4) Lately shadows are leaving like crazy. Playing vs 8-12 shadows is really not hard at all. It was hard when there were 20-25 of them - then you just die on reload, every time.

I like octane most for this mode (or any mode). The extra speed gives me space to maneuver when multiple shadows try to take me. Trying to cheese a win with path or wraith didn't really work for me ( well I tried only a couple of times) - easier to just kill all shadows on the way.
