Don’t Overheat Your Weapons

This may be a little hard to pull off when you’re in the heat of battle, but try to keep an eye on the red meter directly below your reticle when firing your weapon. If the red meter fills up, your weapon will overheat and you’ll have to wait for it to cool down before you can fire again. In other words, if your weapon overheats while you’re trying to shoot an enemy player, you’ll be a sitting duck.

If you tap the reload button in the hot zone, you’ll be able to speed up the cooldown process. Otherwise, you’ll usually have to wait a few extra seconds for the weapon to be usable again. The same goes for your Star Card abilities. Each of your abilities will have to cool down when you activate them, so make sure you only use them at the most opportune of moments.
