These were our favorite entries from the Corsair Top Tips Contest!

We recently held a contest that asked you all to share helpful tips for new King of the Kill players, and we got a huge number of great entries! Here are some of the best tips you sent us, including the three we picked as winners:

1. Get to know the map, it is the only thing that is the same every game and the key to consistency - @xSensux (WINNER!)
 
2. When inside a building/house, stop for a second and listen. No footsteps? Good, search! Hear footsteps? Get ready! - @Pemocity (WINNER!)
 
3. Cars are best, don’t get stressed, use protective vests, aim above the chest. - @ENusatron (WINNER!)
 
4. New players – Don’t dwell on a previous game. Never let a loss get to you. You will get better with practice. - @Fossington
 
5. Practice makes perfect. Don’t expect to be a master with 10 hours put into the game.@JohnIsPr0
 
6. My tip: Watch other people stream! Nothing is better for learning tricks, loadout tips, and overall strategy! - @SablimeAce
 
7.  Tips for new players: Don’t let your nerves get the best of you, Shakiness is going to lead to bad plays. - @FitzyIsTheMan

9. Looking for the extra edge in a fight? Pop a med kit beforehand to get an extra bit of healing during the fight! - @VincentBrunsch
 
10. Pick your fights, but fight to get better at aiming. That, is the King of the Kill way. - @Bastillux
 
11. Grab a gun & helmet & go for action, dying is part of the game, but experience is the best advantage, engage all - @IAnonymouseI
 
12. Join training, find a weapon of choice, get to the open and shoot to learn bullet drop, spread and bullet speed - @xNandor1337

14. Practice, Practice, Practice! To BE the King you must PRACTICE the KILL! - @FullThrottle_JD
 
15. Play @H1Z1KotK at a pace you’re comfortable at. Take fights and learn to aim. And most importantly, have fun! - @ChumtheWaters

18. Stay calm during firefights, make unexpected moves, watch streamers and have a steady hand. - @KaiossG
 
19. The best tip would be sound. Sound is key, you can hear everything footsteps, gunfire, and vehicles. - @Dreams_187
 
20. I suggest new players try out “training” mode to get a feel for the map and different weapons before the real war! - @TwitchArrogant
 
21. Never quit it! More you play, better you’ll get. Start with simple things, like learning map, looting fast. - @er_viss
 
22. For new players coming into @H1Z1KotK heed these words: There is no mercy for any looter in this shooter. #WatchYourBack - @GentlemanSour
 
23. New players need to find their own playstyle. There’s aggressive and passive. Both can go in your favor. - @ikistagirl
