Strategy

edit

Unlike most camo-detecting upgrades, Crow's Nest only offers camo detection, alongside the Camo Prioritization targeting option. Thus, it is only worthwhile when innate Camo detection is needed. However, the Buccaneer gaining camo detection is practical in many scenarios, in combination with the benefits of Long Range, the range and pierce crosspath.

  • 0-1-2 Grape Shot is reliable camo detection in early rounds for a relatively low cost.
  • 0-2-2 Hot Shot pops Camo Leads reliably for cheap.
