Tips and Tricks
- For any elimination challenge, playing in modes with respawn like Team Rumble LTM makes it easier. Take advantage of these modes to play aggressively and get shotgun eliminations in the specified locations.
- Using a Sneaky Snowman is simple. It’s a common item that should appear in almost every match. Use it in three matches, and you don’t need to hide inside it until it’s destroyed.
- The best way to pop golden balloons is by shooting them with suppressed weapons or using your pickaxe to remain as quiet as possible.
- To trigger timed trials with X-4 Stormwing planes, fly through floating stopwatches, which will activate rings that you have to fly through as quickly as you can.
- You don’t have to dance specifically on top of the sundial and other objects. Any emote you use will count as a dance and allow you to progress in the challenge.
