Community Versus Saxton Hale strategy

VSH Nucleus

This article is about Community VS Saxton Hale strategy.

General strategy

• Try to stick together as a team, rather than going solo, as Saxton will easily pick off any players on their own. Make sure you aren't too tight together so that Saxton can easily kill your whole team.

Class-specific strategy

 Scout

• Using the Bonk! Atomic Punch can be great to lure him out for the rest of your team to flank.

 Pyro

• Airblasting Hale into environmental hazards or simply away from your team is highly recommended.

 Demoman

• Try to lure him into a hidden Sticky trap to take a good chunk of his HP.

 Heavy

• Consider using the Shotgun or Tomislav to take advantage of the higher mobility they provide.

 Engineer

• Try to hide your Dispenser out of sight or in places where Hale doesn't pass through, communicating to your team where you've placed it can be helpful to ensure they have a safe place to retreat.

 Medic

• Prioritise the classes closest to Hale, as they're the ones in the most danger.
• Your ÜberCharge is best used on teammates that can deal large amount of damage, either if they're about to die or if they're very close to Hale. This can force Hale away while dealing a lot of damage.
• Although risky, consider going off alone and baiting Hale into following you, then use your ÜberCharge when he's near you. This will waste his time and allow your team to deal a lot of damage in the meantime.

 Sniper

• The Sydney Sleeper is a great support tool to shoot Hale from far away and increase your team's damage output.
• The Bazaar Bargain should be avoided, as its upsides never come into play.
• The Machina has the potential to deal large amounts of damage.

 Spy

• Use the Dead Ringer to survive a hit from Hale. Consider luring Hale away from your team first to buy more time for them to deal damage.
