H1Z1 High Noon Guide
By Lanze and 1 collaborators
Welcome to my guide. I present to you the high noon strategy. It works in ~50% of the matches. In the other cases it doesn't work, obviously. There are a few steps that you have to consider so please read this guide carefully.

1. Getting started
1.1 Queue up with a friend in the duo queue. This is mandatory and if you dont do this the whole strategy doesnt work.

1.2 Land as fast as possible, preferably near your duo partner.
2. Getting kills
2.1 Try to find the revolvo and as much ammo as possible. (Flashbangs help, too and complete the cyborg cowboy look)

2.2 Everytime you engage or get engaged make sure that you shout "IT'S HIGH NOON" (of course over proximity voice chat) as loud as possible. This is for multiple reasons, e.g. boosting your own morale, to get a higher headshot rate, and to disturb the enemy so he will maybe even flee and stop fighting you at all.

2.3 See your duo partner as your second hand, not like your partner. You are your partner. It's like you do akimbo with these revolvos. Trust me, after a few games you will know what I mean.
3. Getting swag
3.1 Repeat

3.2 Profit.

3.3 Bonus points for dressing as a (cyborg) cowboy.

Enjoy!
4. Things to consider (WIP)
4.1 Try resisting to fight more than six enemys at once (I know it's hard to resist the urge). This is for the simple reason that the revolver may be a superior weapon but it is still inferior to your skill, because it can only hold six bullets. If you should forget how many targets you should fight at max, just look at the bottom center of your monitor, where your ammo count is visible, then you should remember.

4.2 Try to avoid vehicles all together. You are a (cyborg) cowboy (at least you pretend to be if you dont dress like it) and as long as there are no horses in the game you have to walk on foot.

4.3 Also try to go into close range engagements, when you want to fight. The ultimate wombo combo is like following: Partner throws flashbang, you wait for it to go off - rush in with your revolvo, partner follows up = gg ez, place #1 in no time.

[4.4 Remember that there could be a counter strategy. I personally dont think so, but you can never know, so be careful. I will try to find out if there is such a counter and if I do I will update this guide immediatly.]

4.5 Apparently the knife and machete (and the axe?) are pretty strong counters to this strategy, for their bullet reflection capabilities. I have to evaluate this further and will update this guide with my results.
