Enjoy.

Edit: forgot to mention in the vid, repairing does not reveal your location. Unless the person repairing is in the walking distance of the radar check.

I also did not notice, the radar scrambler appears on the radar it will be the only stationary dot.

Apart from a few typos (function), this is a good starter's guide to getting some good use from your radar.

¡Good jorb!

Yep. I see FAR too many people (fuzzy bunnies) who INSIST on boosting EVERYWHERE instead of just walking. Most annoyingly, when they're NEAR ME, which clues the enemy in that there's someone moving to flank them.

Seriously people. WALK, DAMMIT.

Sigh wish i had saved a copy of the project before saving as a video :( It would have made for a quick fix.

Do you guys think i should edit a new version altogether?

Click me! I dare you.

Love the music Hobo, and thank you very much for the information.

My only question: does a fully charged HEAT cannon make you show up on the radar?

didn't know walking in close proximity reveals you, I think repairing does as well.

edit: also, dat music

So glad you pointed out the yellow arrow function.  I had always assumed that it was a buggy direction indicator.  Never even occured to me that it would indicate higher / lower.  Thanks!

As long as the info is solid (which it is) I wouldn't worry about spelling mistakes. If someone wants to ignore your advice because of a spelling mistake, let them. :D

Hmm, I swear there were a few times I tracked a guy down on radar and found him repairing, but I'll take your word for it :P

Maybe it could of been because he was boosting before he repaired as you stay on the radar a few seconds dont you?

Glad someone is spreading some knowledge. I have tried explaining some of this to team members to save us from always being noticed on the map. I could never get a flank with someone boosting right by me haha. Good work!

great info, i'd been debating support items to work towards on my grenadier, i think you've convinced me that the radar booster is my best bet.   And now i know how to be a lot sneakier.    thanks for another great guide h0B0
