Target Selection Priority Holotag values scale by shell and loadout quality. Focus DestroyerCombats and TriageSupports first — they typically carry premium gear and their shells command higher extraction scores. Avoid chasing AssassinStealths unless you're confident in close-quarters combat.
Shell-Specific Hunting Tactics As ThiefStealth, use your drone to scout before engaging. Deploy it to intercept Holotags from downed targets at safe distance. VandalCombat players should use Double Jump to engage from unexpected angles — most Runners expect ground-level fights.
High-Value Weapon Priorities Target Runners carrying V00 Zeus RGRailgun or Ares RGRailgun first — railguns indicate experienced players with quality loadouts. M77 Assault RifleARs with Barrel Mod represent top-tier configurations worth 40% more extraction value than base weapons.
Extraction Timing Never hunt Holotags without knowing your extraction route. Thief's Light Carry passive reduces movement penalties, making you ideal for multiple Holotag carries. Plan your route to extraction points before engaging — dying with stolen Holotags loses both gear and significant rank points.
Counter-Hunter Defense Watch for ReconIntel drones before engaging targets. Their Tracker Drone reveals your position to the entire squad. If detected, disengage immediately — Holotag theft attempts against prepared squads fail 80% of the time.
Risk Assessment Only engage when your extraction score target is within 200-300 points. Overextending for marginal Holotag value costs more rank points than the reward provides. Remember: successful extraction with one quality Holotag beats dying with three average ones.
