Grab these to get points for your abilities. You'll find orbs scattered around the map. Use abilities to block their view or reveal them before you take a turn and get unfortunately shot. This is good knowledge as it means as an attacker you need to be aware that enemies are likely camping around the corner. Someone who's camping with a carefully aimed single-shot or semi-auto weapon will have more success that a run-and-gunner. It takes just three or four bullets to kill an enemy or be killed and recoil is insane. The game might feel slow at first - walking is slow for example, so it can take ages to get across the map - but time-to-kill is short. Use both to quietly move about, rather than thumping your feet across the map giving yourself away. This will alert your team and could save your life. Aim your crosshair in the right direction and press Z. You can also 'ping' enemy locations and things of interest. You'll also see an indicator on the screen when people are getting shot nearby.

If you're defending B but suddenly everyone at A is dead that might indicate where the enemy is. Listen and watch out for teammates dying too. You'll also hear enemies if they're approaching.

Other players may be using abilities that will reveal enemy positions and you can use this to your advantage. Pay attention to what's going on, both audibly and visually.
