*Always strafe. ''Always''. If a Grunt manages to sneak up behind you, he won't be able to stick you provided you keep strafing effectively. The grenade should miss and get your attention; you can then jump to avoid most of the explosion's damage, turn in mid-air, and [[headshot]] the Grunt before he can do anything else. This advice will also keep you safe from [[Fuel Rod Guns]]; should a Fuel Rod Grunt get within close range of you, you can often dodge a shot (or get grazed by it), jump (causing his next three-to-five spammed shots to miss), and headshot him before he can actually hit you. | *Always strafe.

*Grunts taking the long walkway path to you are sitting ducks. You can snipe them out and get multi-kills on them with ease.
