Gameplay tips
Use the tunnels a lot: they charge your tail power, move you quickly and track survivors. Right at the start, get into one, charge up and go looking.
Use the tail whenever you can (shorter cooldown and they gain less distance); don't be afraid of missing, you'll get better.
Learn to drag the tail left/right and, above all, up/down: look up, throw the M2 and drop your aim to hit over a rock (the hitbox lingers for an instant, like Nemesis).
