==Tips and Tricks== ===Playing as a Hunter=== * Teamwork is especially emphasized in this mode. The Yeti's large health pool will be difficult to take down alone, and it's easy for him to shred your 250 hit points. Conversely, a group of Hunters blasting the Yeti from multiple directions will freeze him in place more quickly, allowing you to pelt him with icicles. * Even when in a group, it's advisable not to be reckless with your health. The Yeti's Tesla Cannon can still strike multiple targets and kill them off, especially if they're already weakened. * Cryo-Freeze is a lifesaver ability, allowing a Hunter to recover almost all of her health. The reduced charge time means that you'll be able to recover health more efficiently and reduce the odds of it being on cooldown at crucial moments. If the Yeti isn't nearby, consider using it early to ensure your health is high enough to withstand ambushes. * Lay an ambush for the Yeti by placing the Yeti Trap on fireplaces where meat has spawned or is going to. Note that if a Yeti Trap has already been placed on the map, using your ultimate again will despawn it from where you originally placed it. * There's very little headway you can make when the Yeti's Primal Rage is active. Cryo-Freeze will only protect you for 2 seconds while Primal Rage lasts for 10. Use the Ice Wall to force the Yeti to get around it before he can attack you or your teammates, wasting precious seconds for his ultimate. This becomes especially effective when you're in one of the narrow passages. * If the Yeti already has eaten three pieces of meat, consider switching to evasive tactics - move away from places where meat is about to or has spawned, ensuring that you're as far away from the Yeti when his ultimate activates. This will also waste his ultimate as he's forced to look for your team. ===Playing as the Yeti=== * Unlike the Hunters, you won't be able to recover any health in this mode; while a greatly increased health pool makes up for it, the numbers are not in your favor. * When you're not in Primal Rage, focus on eating meat instead of going after Hunters. Chances are they're going to freeze you in place before you can kill one or two with your Tesla Cannon, especially if they've healed up. * When the game begins, head up the hill on your right to grab the first piece of meat on the nearby bridge for an early start. * Use the Jump Pack liberally to get around the map and put distance between you and the Hunters, and also to grab meat placed at bridges on higher elevations. If a piece of meat has a Yeti Trap underneath it, stand a short distance away and use the Jump Pack while aiming forward to grab the meat without triggering the Trap. * While the Barrier Projector won't be able to protect you at close range, it remains useful for blocking stray icicles - you'll want to prevent as much damage as possible. If you can't avoid running into a Yeti Trap, deploy a Barrier so you can't be pelted with ice spikes while you wait out the trap. * If you're about to go ultimate, look for a piece of meat (preferably one without a trap) and hang around - several Hunters may come looking for you, at which point you pick it up and start attacking. * Ice Walls are the biggest obstacle you will face when in Primal Rage - Hunters who try to blast you with ice can be quickly killed in two hits before you're frozen, while Cryo-Freeze will only protect them for two seconds before deactivating. If a Hunter goes into Cryo-Freeze, consider waiting until their protection fades instead of switching to another target that can easily put up her own Cryo-Freeze. * If you can't find any Hunters and your ultimate is about to expire, consider looking for new pieces of meat and start charging up your ultimate again.
