An easy multiplayer brawl that is fast-paced and hilariously fun, Stick Fight: The Game is here to stay. Though many other games scratch a similar itch, many aren’t as slick and seamless as Stick Fight: The Game.
It’s easy to become enamored by Stick Fight’s premise with never-ending death and ever-changing maps that transition right after a victory occurs. Yet spawning into the deathmatches can seem pretty bonkers to players due to the quick gameplay. Whether it’s to avoid death in the first 5 seconds or to prove one’s superiority and gaming prowess over friends, fans of the game can learn a couple of tricks to one-up the competition.
5 Approaching The Fight
It’s easy for one’s primal instincts to kick in during games such as Stick Fight. Such behaviors include flailing oneself toward the enemy or running away, and both are examples that one should avoid. As cliche as it sounds, players should take a step back and relax, it’s only a game. Once players can adopt a calm disposition, strategies and tactics can be carried out.
The first step is to let other opponents fight it out amongst each other. This isn’t always the case but it makes it easier for players to gather weapons and observe the fight, only to join it once rivals have whittled each other down. Another tip is to not waste ammunition from acquired weapons. Ammo is limited and firing it off all at once doesn’t help any situation. The path to victory is reserved for those who conserve their ammo whilst simultaneously letting their opponents use up all of theirs.
4 Jumping
Jumping is what will allow players to access higher ground and arm themselves with weapons faster. There are 3 types of jumps: Basic, Punch, and Block Punch. Some of them can be combined with a wall jump and reverse maneuver.
Basic jumps are well, basic. It is the easiest and most basic jump that will allow players to access platforms and different areas without exposing themselves too much to enemy gunfire or harmful elements. They are helpful to close short distances. Next are the punch jumps. They are best described as medium-distance jumps and allow players to jump higher than normal. The reverse maneuver of a punch jump is called a punch slam, which can help players get to a lower portion of the map quickly.
Finally, the block punch jump allows players to travel the furthest distance and players should familiarise themselves with this type of jump. Players can also wall jump effectively with the block punch jump to get extra mileage. It is also noted that reverse block punch jump maneuvres are super effective at dodging harm and taking down rivals below by surprise.
3 Recoil
It should also be mentioned that some weapons have a large recoil. Players can end up flying around the map trying to take down enemies and even lose a match because of the recoil itself. Therefore, players must take note of these weapons when engaging in combat: small shotgun, snake shotgun, snake minigun, revolvers, and the minigun as they will provide heavy firepower and the cost of control.
However, it is also possible for players to execute recoil jumps. When firing these weapons, skilled players with enough practice can launch themselves from one end of the map to another or maintain air time whilst firing on enemies below. It should be said that players need to avoid snakes (especially those launched from their weapons) at all costs as snakes will attack anyone on sight.
2 Gun Use
If players can memorize ammo counts on some of the weapons, they’ll know when the weapon is almost used up. To avoid this, players can throw their weapons and pick them back up to automatically fill up ammunition. This can be very useful for players wielding low clip guns such as the RPG. Alternatively, weapons can be thrown at the enemy to dish out some extra damage.
Using a quickdraw can also be useful for players. Players who pick up a new weapon and fire it immediately will notice that there are no accuracy penalties, even if the weapon has recoil. Weapons such as the revolver demonstrate this ability effectively, allowing players to snipe their opponents.
1 Boss Guides
During matches, players can become or will have to band together to defeat a player who morphs into a boss. There are several bosses in-game: blue, red, yellow, and rainbow. Players attempting to defeat bosses will find that the blue, yellow, and rainbow bosses are relatively easy to beat and will just need to stay alive and gun it down.
The red boss is another matter though. Red bosses have 3 phases: pew, ring, and saw. During the pew phase, players need to shoot the boss whilst the other two phases (ring and saw) require players to stay behind cover and run respectively. Players who become bosses need to worry too much as players will cower before the might of your abilities.
