Introduction
Disclaimer: This guide is meant to be half humorous half helpful. It is not meant to offend any people based on their race/religion/nationality or sex. If you're offended by this guide then take a deep breath and learn how to take a joke.

Are you tired of getting killed by campers inside buildings? Are your teammates useless and can't even clear a single point out of camping enemies? fear not! with this guide you will embrace the will of Allah and cleanse those filthy tryhards! Using this ancient war strategy, you will be able to clean out enemy camping positions, blow up reinforcement waves and even turn the tides against the opposing team.

As suggested by the name, this method obviously means blowing yourself up at the enemy or in other words - taking one for the team. In order to use this strategy successfully you will need the following:

  • A friend / willing team member
  • An IED or C4
  • Smoke grenades and a gas mask (optional)
  • The will to potentially humiliate yourself with a horrible K/D

There are two roles: the Handler and the Bomber.


The Handler
This role is responsible for supplying the explosive to your bomber and controlling its detonation from a safe place at the right time. In order to get C4 or an IED, you will need to be either a Breacher or Demolitions.






















Detonating the explosives while your bomber is still alive will most likely deflect the damage back to you, as the bombing will inflict team damage. Do note that it can also save enemies if you detonate it at the wrong time.

Tips and Tricks for the average Nokia enjoyer

  • Always communicate with your bomber and pay close attention to his blimp (the icon that shows he's your teammate). If that teammate is not on your friends list then you're most likely gonna lose track of your bomber, therefore you will need to pay attention on his cue to detonate the bomb.

  • If the bomber is in your party/friends, pay attention to when his blimp disappears - that's when you'll know when he dies.

  • Use smoke grenades to cover your bomber from enemy snipers, if your bomber dies in an open field you're less likely to kill someone unless an enemy gets close to your bomber's body.

  • Stay in a safe place until you detonate the explosives - If you die without detonating then you'll need to try all over again.

  • Make sure you don't detonate your bomber on your teammates, the damage can be deflected back and kill you.
The Bomber
This role is where the magic happens. A bomber's job is to find an enemy (or preferably a group of them) then proceed to sacrifice his soul for the glory of Allah.




























Now this is where we will have to get creative. As mentioned before, this method is buggy and unfortunately limits the movement of the bomber - making his job a little harder. We will have to take into consideration the following limitations:

  • When picking up the Handler's thrown C4/IED, you will need to hold the pick up weapon button (F button by default). Releasing that button will throw away the explosives therefore you're required to hold it until you're ready to be blown up.

  • Movement is a bit messed up when picking up the explosives. You cannot sprint nor stand up after crouching.

  • Sometimes after a successful/failed bombing you can be stuck in a crouching position - this bug goes away after a minute or two.

Tips, Tricks and lifehacks for the average Shahid

  • Have minimal equipment so you can run faster.

  • Use smoke grenades alongside your handler to cover your approach to the enemies' position.

  • If you're running through smoke, wear a gas mask so enemies won't be warned by your godly presence.

  • Be sure to either throw the explosives or get killed before signalling your handler to push the button.

  • Turn on death cam. If an enemy killed you before your time, be sure to take advantage of these remaining seconds to signal your handler to blow up your bullet-riddled corpse. Use it to also see if you managed to score some kills!

  • If you have a mic, be sure to praise Allah (or Joe Biden/Diversity/Trans rights/Jewish Overlords when playing as Security) before sending others to the shadow realm. This act will strike fear in your enemies as they tremble by your presence.

  • When possible, lay prone and hide before surprising the enemies with a surprise vibe check.

  • If enemies are holding a closed building, use smoke grenades and communicate with your team before heading in to clear the room of infidels.
When NOT to use this method
These are merely optional suggestions:

  • Big open maps like Crossing, Outskirts, Tideway and others. You'll be sniped faster than you can realize as this method works best in close quarter and urban maps.

  • When your team is low on reinforcements - this method can waste your respawn waves rather quickly if done in a sloppy way.

  • If you have a good team and you're crushing the enemy team easily.
Conclusion
This method is highly unpopular and can be very helpful at times, however do note that it's way less effective than playing the game normally.

Special thanks to Sick Snipes for revealing this method and inspiring me to write this highly offensive guide. Go check him out:
