Gameplay tips
So they can't dodge you in the open, don't swing from far away: get right on top of the survivor during the rush and, once there, swing towards the side they dodge to (your range is generous).
Turn with two flicks, not one: to turn right, flick right mid-rush and flick again as you swing, to tighten the turn far more.
Choose carefully when and where to use M2: on maps with lots of obstacles it's often not worth navigating with the power; go M1.
