How to Pallet Save
Use pallet saves as controlled denial, not panic hero plays.
Core Concepts
- Pallet saves require spacing setup before down happens.
- Good saves preserve team tempo and avoid multi-state collapse.
- Not every carry path is worth contesting.
Survivor Playbook
- Pre-position where drop timing is controllable and exit lane exists.
- After save, split quickly to avoid chained injury value.
- Protect high-value pallets; do not burn premium resources on low-value saves.
Killer Playbook
- Adjust carry lines to avoid obvious save setups.
- Slug selectively when save threat is overcommitted.
- Punish grouped survivors after failed save attempt.
Common Mistakes
- Forcing save with no escape path.
- Dropping strong pallets for low-value denial.
- Grouping too tightly post-save.
Quick Checklist
- Can we exit safely after save?
- Is this pallet worth spending here?
- Would objective tempo be better than save attempt?
