Cactus in Ops Tips?
I've been trying to get my cactus to be the first grandmaster rank of all the classes, but PvP and PvE have been rough lately, so I've been playing a lot of ops. Problem is, I never have played cactu...

@PineapplePianoI play my Cactus in Ops all the time.
One of the primary tactical shifts you need is to abandon the idea of long range sniping. The AI is programmed to rush the Gardenator so you're simply not going to have the time to fully charge a shot and aim.
Also, as you noticed, the aimbot nature of the AI makes using the Garlic Drone a near impossibility unless you keep it far above the battle zone so I tend to ignore it completely as well.
Since we're abandoning the long-range nature of Cactus you'll want to shift a couple of your Upgrades to maximize your short-range Ops game.
My Ops load out consists of Best Defense ( 2 ), Pressure Point ( 2 ) and Looting ( 3 ).
All three rely on you being able to land your critical shots and will benefit you immensely in Ops.
Looting ( 3 ) replenishes your ammunition by simply inflicting repeated critical damage so if your aim is good and you can land your shots you can go incredibly long periods without needing to reload at all. I've gone entire waves without reloading a single time.
The other two Upgrades, Best Defense ( 2 ) and Pressure Point ( 2 ) also benefit from you deliberately trying to inflict critical damage with Best Defense using critical vanquishes to reduce the damage you take while Pressure Point causes the zombies to randomly explode on a critical vanquish damaging other zombies around them.
- @realitysquared and @TheSprinter85 thank you guys for your suggestions! I tried out pressure point and it's totally become a must have in my ops loadout. The first time I used it, I was on the pressure pier map, and I gotta tell you, that match was a blast. That upgrade makes it so easy to take out large groups of zombies!
