- Don’t get discouraged if you’ve lost 7 or even 8 rounds in a row as Ts on Overpass. Due to the spawn’s proximity to the bomb site, CTs have a significant advantage in this mode. The exception here is Shortdust, which is T sided.
- Utility is king
- Your utils, including mollies, grenades and smokes are even more important in Wingman. They can be used to zone and control your opponents who don’t have a full 5 man team to back them up.
- Manage your economy
- This goes without saying regardless of which game mode you’re playing but is particularly important in Wingman. Knowing when to eco and when to full buy can make all the difference. Make sure to talk to your teammate too, there’s not much point buying double AWPs in in Wingman!
