Graphics

Here's a list that can help you determine your settings:

M&KB

M&KB > Keybinds

Change stratagem (CTRL) to PRESS (and optionally change it to any keybind you want), then change AWDS to the arrow keys (you can still move while calling in)
If you don't like taking your hand off your mouse you can use different binds, you'll have to move some keys around though
Make it so it suits you and works best for you, so you don't mess up during key moments

Gameplay Tips

You can ping objectives you can't see with (ingame) TAB > Move mouse & click at random locations
I'm not sure why more people don't know about this but you can actually change the options of the gun you're using by holding R
This is very useful with the railgun but be careful because charging it too much can just kill you
Charging it to near maximum you can two or one-shot a bile titan most of the time (if you're aiming at the mouth, just a bit below the head since they have armor on the head as well)
Along with the previous tip, you can also enable Dynamic Aim and click RMB once to go into First Person (or press middle mouse while holding RMB)
It makes you more precise, as you are now aiming down your scope instead of the gray icon and seeing where you gun is precisely going to shoot
Next up is the melee key, seriously in all of my time playing this game, I've only seen like 3 people using it, melee allows you to stun any mid to lower ranking terminid and even bots
By just pressing F you can stun them if they're too close, this can be massive against Hunters, Pouncers or in bots for Berserkers, Devastators

Automaton Tips

In automaton, the smaller bots are your priority first, since it takes your concentration to even take down the bigger ones, if they have no support, it will be much easier for you
Athough this doesn't apply to higher difficulties since there'll be too much for you to handle but remember the next tip
Try to kill rocket-wielding bots first, they all deal insane damage and even one rocket can instantly kill you
Most of the time you can take down a tank, if you can flank it, with just 2 grenades on top of it's turret or back

Terminid Tips

In terminid the bigger enemies are usually stronger

Stalkers only spawn when there's a stalker lair
When a stalker is attacking you, move towards where it just attacked you from, it won't go back to that position
You can two/one-shot a bile spewer with the breaker if you're close to it by shooting it's head
To counter chargers, you need to strip the armor off of one of it's front legs, the backside 'weak spot' isn't it's weak spot, that deals normal damage but if you strip it's armor on the legs you can kill it with 1 railgun
For bile titans, you always want a teammate running something with insane armor piercing (railgun/autocannon/recoilless) or just good orbitals like the 500kg bomb, railcannon, laser (depletes forever after all uses),

if you're a true gamer you don't need motion blur to distract you from the fact that it's a game B)
