Unlike many other gametypes, playing it safe is not a wise strategy Regicide. With other players all heading toward the same location, sitting back and firing into the fray will generally not score enough kills and Regicides to win. Because of the tendency of players to crowd the same location, close quarters loadout weapons such as the [[MA5D Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle]], [[Type-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced|Storm Rifle]] and [[Z-130 Directed Energy Automatic Weapon|Suppressor]] are good choices. | Unlike many other gametypes, playing it safe is not a wise strategy Regicide.

[[Active camouflage]] is a particularly useful armor ability when not the king, as other players are often too preoccupied moving toward the king to notice they are being snuck up on. Once the player becomes king however, the beacon which appears above their heads makes active camo useless against all but the most inexperienced players. | [[Active camouflage]] is a particularly useful armor ability when not the king, as other players are often too preoccupied moving toward the king to notice that they are being snuck up on.

Defensive armor abilities such as the [[Z-90 Photonic Coalescence Emitter/Aegis|Hardlight Shield]] and [[M2705 Regenerative Kinetic Dispersal Field|Regeneration Field]] are only of use to a king in Team Regicide where there is a possibility of assistance from team mates. In free-for-all a player using a Hardlight shield will likely find themselves shot in the back (or assassinated for an [[Execution]] medal) by another player, and so are only preventing themselves from shooting back. Similarly, a Regeneration field is not capable of recharging a player's shield during a concentrated attack from multiple directions.

Arguably the best armor ability for a king is the [[Z-2500 Automated Protection Drone|Autosentry]]. Enemies attempting to close with and engage the king are unable to avoid the autosentry like they would in other gametypes. Should they focus on the autosentry instead of the King, they open themselves up to be taken out by the King. The additional fire from the autosentry can help a king kill multiple attackers before they are taken out. | Arguably the best armor ability for a king is the [[Z-2500 Automated Protection Drone|Autosentry]].
