Quick notes

Use the basic Blaster deliberately. The default weapon avoids wasting scarce specialist ammunition.
Match lock-on tools to moving targets. A Homing Launcher suits an enemy that is difficult to keep under direct aim.
Take a clear sight line for sniping. A scope helps with distant targets but narrows awareness.
Exit vehicles with cover in mind. A vehicle change can solve the objective but exposes Fox briefly.
