So the patch came out and @Amnotright, @RLPK and myself were lucky enough to get a ton of bushes in our first game. 3 of us running over the map in a bush each was pretty hilarious. People didn't even see us until they walked straight through my bush which was enough to give an advantage to kill him.

 

When you are down to the last 10 it seriously helps if you canbe patient enough. Ryan had 5 to go and as they started shooting each other he could pick them off one by one as they just didn't realise where he was!

 

Don't equip your pickaxe though, you can see it sticking out the side of it!
