How to Play as Sundance

How to Use the Smart Explosives Specialty

Aim the Scatter Grenade Down for A Bigger Area of Effect

Scatter Grenade Belt Showcase
The Scatter Grenade will require to bounce off an object once to trigger the detonation timer. The Scatter Grenade has very floaty physics that you can take advantage of by throwing it on the ground. This way, when the grenade breaks apart, you will cover a large area that can take out multiple enemies.

Anti-Armor Will Follow Vehicles Unless Outsped

Anti-Armor Grenade Belt Showcase.
The Anti-Armor will seek out the nearest enemy vehicle once thrown. The homing mechanism will persist as long as the vehicle doesn't outspeed it. This isn't particularly useful against jets but there are hardly any ground vehicles that can outrun it!

EMP Effects Disables Vehicle Weapons and Gadgets

EMP Grenade Belt Showcase
The EMP Grenade Belt can trigger 8 times before running out. When hit by a pulse, most vehicles will be unable to shoot for about 10 seconds until the distortion effect on the HUD runs out. This is a very powerful tool that lets you deal with any vehicle with ease.

Turn Left and Right When Pulling up for Sharper Turns

Wingsuit Movement Guide Showcase.
As you are diving with the wingsuit, you will start gaining forward momentum. During this time, turning left and right will feel very unresponsive. To make tighter turns, you will need to first pull up during the nosedive.

Spawn in Aircrafts

Spawn inside Aircraft Showcase.
To capitalize early on your Wingsuit, you will need to spawn inside an aircraft. This will let help landing on inaccessible locations easier or let you get into sectors faster compared to the rest of your team!

Slow Down When Landing

Fall Damage Showcase.
As you dive downwards, you will keep picking up momentum. If you hit the ground too fast, it will cause you to take a significant amount of damage. Be sure to pull up just a little bit before hitting the ground!

Press Crouch to Undeploy

Press Crouch to Undeploy
If you ever need to stop using the Wingsuit, you can press the crouch button to undeploy and bring your gun out. Diving and then pitching up can lead to losing a lot of speed, so this is one alternative to make yourself less of an easy target.

Use Tornados to Gain Momentum

Tornado Momentum Showcase
When a storm arrives, try to get close enough to get picked up by the wind but not enough to be in the eye of the storm. Once in the air, deploy your Wingsuit and try to get some distance from the tornado since it can do quite a bit of damage to your health.

Ease your controls by tilting to the opposite direction of how the tornado is turning so that you can use the momentum to fly yourself into the far-off distance.

Best Loadouts and Teammates

Best Loadouts for Sundance

Primary Gadget Throwable
SMG
Marksman
Sniper
Insertion Beacon
Med Pen
Prox Sensor

This loadout focuses on Sundance's high mobility. With the Wingsuit, you can easily access hard-to-reach places, which opens up a choice of using Sniper or Marksman rifles. Then, you can use Insertion Beacons to respawn at any tall structure.

You can also play a role as a very aggressive flanker with SMGs and a Med Pen. The Prox Sensor is a must for both loadout types because your Grenade belt is all the throwable utility you will need!
