General Tips
- The O.W.L. can be super useful in Shadow Fall. It attacks soldiers, hacks terminals to prevent reinforcements, and so forth. Use it often to give yourself an advantage.
- Don't fret if you happen to be low on ammo. When you kill enemies, they often drop their weapons. They may be less useful than what you currently have equipped, but a gun is pretty useless without ammo.
- Remember to press up on the d-pad to see objectives. It's a lot easier to get lost in Shadow Fall than in past Killzone games.
- Experiment with classes in multiplayer. Everyone loves to shoot things, but there may be cases in which a support class proves more useful to the team.
- Complete challenges to upgrade your weapons and abilities.
- Use your abilities often. There's no point in holding onto a special ability if you're just going to die.
- Be a team player. Work with the group and try to succeed in a particular role. It's not always about shooting the other team and racking up kills.

Killzone: Shadow Fall Intercept Classes

Killzone: Shadow Fall Intercept Classes #1
The Infantry class plays and acts as a grunt largely operating on the front lines of Intercepts arenas and there's no shortage of front lines to speak of. Because players have to defend three distinct transmitters, Helghast can flood in from almost any angle but that doesn't mean you won't have some sense of where to look as the infantry. While the other classes have to focus on very specific roles, Infantry can do well in any given combat environment though Killzone fans should know that they need to stick to cover and ensure that their ammunition doesn't run out while they're taking on a squad of enemies.

rnI like the infantry's well-rounded rifle and mobility more than anything else. Make sure to bank points you score in the field to secure your first-place finish. -
Killzone: Shadow Fall Intercept Classes #2
Only one player can be the medic in Killzone: Shadow Fall Intercept, which makes them the most important element on the battlefield especially as more and more enemies flood in and your defensive encampments become less stable over time. Medics can revive their team but they'll have to pay a fee and wait a short period of time before they can revive themselves. With respawn counts consistently above 20 seconds, the medic can do a lot of good or he can totally screw a team out of a win. While the infantry should barrel through enemy lines to score a lot of points, medics should stick to the interior of a map and support all fronts by reviving as necessary and providing covering fire with his SMG. -
Killzone: Shadow Fall Intercept Classes #3
As much as I love the medic class, I had the highest score as a sniper picking enemies off before they could even approach capture points. Sniper can get a little boring if all you do is hang out in your next and cap enemies with either the rifle or the explosive ordinance at your disposal, so make sure to pick a player and act as the angel of death watching over them. Help them through tough combat situations so that the entire team can excel and you'll still have an incredibly satisfying game. In particulary, snipers should look out for their team's medics. It's the only way through the longer cooperative challenges available in Intercept. -
Killzone: Shadow Fall Intercept Classes #4
Tacticians have a lot of different tools at their disposal, but they work best knowing that they can't take on a group of Helghast enemies all on their own. They need time to set up turrets and the default pistol doesn't do enough damage to eliminate advancing squads, though many players will enjoy the burst-fire mode and some of the tactician's heavy weaponry. Just remember to bank points to inch your team closer and closer to victory.
