Sneaky repair/plant

Just a simple tip. Crouch behind the objective when constructing or planting. Sometimes enemies in the same area won't even notice you until it's too late.

laying prone on some dead friendlies can also have a similar effect :D

I did this went i was planting a bomb as strogg. Right next to me was a GDF defusing another bomb. I planted my own one and poped up and shot him. Its terrible cool.

Also Strogg turrets and big guns: go prone and get under the turret harder to see, harder to kill (works for anti vehicle and personel).

I do this. You can still get killed by a rocket or artillery but I don't recall ever being sniped.

I find it way better to crouch while moving i.e. circling the construct objective with variations in your movement patterns. It works way better than the prone strategy 9 out of 10 times.

The crouch/strafe technique is also very useful when reviving as a strogg.

and the same when sniping

Also planting HE-Charges beneath Strogg buildings, blows them away successfully most times. Some engi's do recognize the charges...
(Yeah, even on public!! :))
Planting on GDF deployables is more sophisticated...
But there some hard to spot locations also, like the radar. You can plant your charge between the wheel and the chassis.

is there away to lock urself onto crouch? holding down C while sniping can get annoying.

yeah you can choose to toggle it in settings I think.

if not you can make a bind.

I personally like the suicide bomber method. You plant 3 mines on the ansansi nose and you rush it into enemy heavy defense line and jump before hitting something. Even if it get destroyed the mines are still on it and will deal huge damage in a good range compare to normal range of mines. obviously it depend on situation, but if for example a tormentor keep spawn killing everyone and he's super good pilot and you are not it's easier to mine the plane and get close to him so mine explode and kill him than trying to fight him. Good places are hog wheel, it a hog loose 1 wheel it's pretty much dead he barely can control himself. also if you have the jeep the cyclop is funny. just get to him. Park in front of it, hop on the jeep and put 2 mines right on the guns, when a guy will get in and fire, boom. 15-20% damage per mine isn't bad you can chop half his life whit that. For defense indoor i like ceiling plant in proximity mode.

In outskirts barricade objective, I usually plant on the side the strogg spawn from. It is easier to get to, but the strogg don't have the brains to check on their own side first.

Now if you have a soldier plant on the front side, and I would plant on the other side at the same time, the strogg would have to have to constructors to disarm it, vs one single constructor disarming two at the same time because the constructor does not need to run around the building just to get to the other one.

One time I did that, and I was camping near my planted thing. A constructor saw it and disarmed it, and just after disarming that one, I killed him and planted a new one as if the charge took 60 seconds to blow vs the usual 30.

The barricade was done in a few minutes.
