Tips and Strategies for Team Deathmatch

Use the UAV Perk

Playing with your teammates and taking areas of the map together gives your the best chance of getting multi-kills. The UAV is a great perk for this game mode as you can spot enemy locations on the map and punish anyone wandering alone.

Stick with Teammates Instead of Going Solo

Often times players are just running around in circles trying to find fights. While this strategy can get you a few kills, assessing the battlefield and sticking with your teammates not only gets you quality kills but decreases the chance of getting immediately traded.
