At set intervals, this area gets smaller and you need to do
your best to stay within its boundaries. If you get caught behind the wall, it
is difficult to get back inside, since the barrier moves very quickly. If you
sprint from one fallen player to the next, continuously stealing their health
packs, it’s possible to make it back, but I was not so lucky. Each time I fell
behind the pace, I was not able to recover, since I could not find any nearby
resources. Another time, I found myself trapped at the bottom of a cavern and
unable to advance the direction of safely.
Although staying within the playable area is a priority, sometimes there’s some strategy in timing your entry. For example, if you are running for your life to reach the center of the storm, you become an easy target. Other players can easily detect and eliminate you, especially if the storm itself knocks down your health levels. Instead, plan to arrive at the barriers as it closes or right beforehand. Once safely inside, you can take a position with a good vantage point and return the favor.
