Need help with Redeye skills

I find Red eye to be either really good or really bad, if you set up your smoke and IR correctly he is really good. But when thats on cooldown, i feel vulnerable as fuck. Any suggestions?

Don’t rush the enemy, let he pick you while you’re close to your team mates so they can assist you.
If your whole team is dead and the Respawn timer is about to reset, make sure to tap K and respawn with your team.

Toggle your IR Goggles as frequently as possible to keep the whole enemy team spotted. They can be used regardless of cooldown. This is obscenely powerful for your team when used right.

I’d honestly suggest using the PDP. Get good enough with it and you can use it at any range. Smoke isn’t a necessary thing as long as you keep distance. Hide behind your team if you need to.

You don’t always have to use your smoke to use the IR goggles. Your goggles spot so use it as often as possible to mark people (think of it as Vassili’s HBS). It has a cooldown of thirteen seconds but you can use it even if it isn’t fully charged.

The smoke is actually terrible cover. Never solely rely on it to protect you. It gives away your position and you’re practically begging to be have people throw explosives at you. If you need smoke to protect yourself, use it to supplement cover you’re already behind. Otherwise, just use it to protect your engineers. Blocking sight lines is stupid because nothing is stopping the enemy from firing blindly into the smoke.

You are a marksman, not a sniper (unless using the PDP). Move around a lot, never camp. You have more health than Vassili, so you could stand to be closer to the fight.

Check out my guide for loadouts you could try out.
