Whenever Possible, Kill Downed Enemies Immediately
It can feel like, once an enemy is down, you no longer need to worry about them. That’s true in high-combat situations where the most pressing thing is fighting whoever is still shooting at you. But if you have any chance at all to take out a downed enemy, you should do it as quickly as you can–preferably at a distance (grenades are handy for this). Downed enemies can be revived relatively quickly by their teammates, especially Lifeline, which can cost you a numerical advantage in a tough fight. More than that, though, a downed enemy is still able to provide tons of intel to their buddies. In addition to continuing to talk to their teammates, they can still ping you. If you ever see a downed enemy facing you, that’s probably what they’re doing–and that information can help their teammates get the drop on you. Take that information out of the equation as quickly as you can; if you can’t, get away from downed enemies so they can’t report your whereabouts.
