DUELIST: PvP Combat Positioning

Positioning as primary skill

High-elo DUELIST: PvP players win fights before shooting by holding superior angles. Third-person camera extends vision past corners — clear angles without exposing full hitbox using right-hand peek preference.

Angle hierarchy

Strong angles: head-glitch crouch behind low cover, off-angle not cleared by default pre-aim, elevation on crates. Weak angles: open mid lane, repeatable peek location, reload in sightline.

Study layouts in arena overview and mode pages.

Dodge and reposition loop

Fire burst → dodge to new cover → reassess. Opponents tracking your dodge predictability get free kills — vary timing and direction.

Pair with weapon range knowledge from comparison table.

Team spacing

In 2v2/3v3, maintain trade distance — one player anchors, one flanks. Crossfire beats solo pushes on team arenas.

Solo queue players ping positions when possible.
