welcome to the orks, leave your sense of self preservation at the door. lol but seriously, the best way to survive in this game ive found is to not be shot in the first place, be aware of your surroundings, flank the enemy when you can, learn to hide and stay perfectly still, and bash the enemy on the back of the head as often as you can, and you'll do ok even if you dont have all the fancy stuff yet. oh, and stick with your squad, and alwase let one of them go through a door first lol.
Oi git, ere'z 'ow it goz: Humies, youz take da big shoota. Don't try ta slug it out o'er long distunz jus zog dem close. Keep movin, neva stand still. Member dat da big shoota needz som time ta get goin' but when it goes, it goes DAKKA great! Against pansies, ya take da shoota wit da big clip an' 'eavy barrel. Becoz to pansies, shoota is like big shoota fer humies. Dey go splat reel good wit dat. Big shoota iz too slo' to krump de pansies. Fer ridez, ya take de rokkit launcha and two stickybombs. Member ta hit de ride in de rear to krump it quicka. Or youz take da zappi gun, werks too. Fer pistol, take da dakka slugga. If ye want som REAL DAKKA, get de Plazma Deffgun. Krumps dem humies reel good. Kannon iz nice but some warboss might take offense to ya loppin that big boom at his butt.
Don't Forget da Shiney Hat! a Good Ork iz nuffin without a nice Hat! (Seriously Orkz have the best and most unique cosmetics in the entirety of 40k so don't waste the opportunity)
I can't count the number of times crouching next to a railing and a Devastators set up right next to me. If only Proximity Chat was in the game. "Ohohohoh. Ders wun comin' up da stairs der, 'Uumie. 'Owz da Krusade goin', gud? Oh. By da way, 'Uumie.Wanna know why deyz call me Spookums?..."
