Expert tips to master a 2D battle royale: Bullet League cheats, tips
Kill them all, and with style
Bullet League is the latest shooter to hit Android and iOS, and this is by far one of the more unique entries into the multiplayer shooter category on mobile. Instead of battling in an absurd 100-man battle royale, or competing with finicky touch-screen controls in a first-person perspective, you'll be shooting people down in a 2D Terraria-like arena, jumping around and shooting down foes.
It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that one of the most unique shooters to land on mobile in recent memory might also be one of the best. You'll be jumping around like you're playing a platformer, before finding sneaky angles and taking apart warring opponents.
It's exciting and interesting, and definitely worth you downloading the game now so you can jump into the action.

Below we've got some expert tips for brand new players to jump into the action. The game is straight-forward enough to not require an extensive tutorial, but complex enough for you to use tact while navigating the levels and choosing your weapons. Read below for what you need to know…

2D battle royale
Okay, so this isn't really a battle royale in the way we're used to. It's not a huge 100-man warzone, it's more like a retro Call of Duty free-for-all. Except you have one life. So, y'know, kind of like a battle royale?
The game plays out simply. You jump around a 2D stage, scramble to collect weapons, and stay inside a shrinking circle of danger. So yes, it takes a fair few cues from the bigger, more traditional battle royale titles on the market right now. Except it's perfect for mobile.
The controls suit, the viewpoint works, the fast nature of the game fits, it's all in place. Now that you know the basics of how the game plays out, you're ready to grab a gun and try it out.

Healing up
You won't be regenerating health in this game. Instead, you'll be collecting healing items and even shield items.
Once you've been shot a bit, it's time to use a health item, which you'll equip like a weapon, and use by pressing the shoot button.
Shields work as they do in a game like Fortnite - just use the shield item immediately, and you'll essentially get an extra layer of health to play with in battle.

Your loadout
You should be aware of the guns in the game and which suit your playstyle best. You can take a look at them all, and even upgrade weapons, in the loadout menu.
It's tempting to use explosives and powerful single-fire weaponry, but it's a much better idea to use fast-acting automatic weapons that can bombard your opponent before they have time to think about a counter.
But then, you will also need to make space for heal items, if you feel they are important. Heals will be better in the early game, whereas the late game will be a whoever-dies-loses situation, and you aren't likely to escape to heal up.

Bullet jumps
Remember rocket jumps? I'm getting nostalgic now. Bullet League takes a page from the book of Downwell, and by shooting below you, you can stay afloat from the force of your bullets.
This is great for platforming, or better yet, assaulting enemies from on-high while they are unaware.
Your aiming is basically done with an on-screen analogue stick. Just hold it to fire, and swipe it in any direction to aim in that direction, allowing you a great deal of control over where you fire, in relation to where you are moving to.
