Hi all, new player here. I was chosen traitor and I had no idea how to play it; I then got my ass handed to me.
Anyone have an tips?

Use any method available, but always remember to be not spoted, or if you were, try to take down all of the witnesses but better not be spoted. You can also act as normal crew member doing some jop like fixing leaks, while trying to do something super-evil. If you fellin' lucky and rambo, you can try kill all of the crew members. Its on you, there does not much exist only one way to sabotage submarine because if players know your traitor experience and that you have "way to sabotage submarine", they will be prepared for it. Good luck, and I hope this helped!

Also dont forget that the traitor selection is random, so nobody ever knows whos traitor and what are his plapns.

DO NOT DO THIS. Most servers will kick/ban you if you kill everyone and keep fucking up the entire ship as traitor (AKA do NOT blow up the reactor).

The generally agreed upon rule is to try only killing your target. If others are hit as collateral or you have to kill a witness that is fine. But you should generally try and be stealthy so it either looks like an accident or nobody even notices they're missing.

Usually a bit of patience is wise. Blend into the crew and try getting your hands on a weapon/toxin and wait for your golden opportunity. Maybe you catch them alone and quickly subdue them/finish them off, or "accidentally" unwire a door locking them in a dangerous area, or shoot them off the ship while they make repairs. For sabotage it's fair game to unwire a ballast or engine, maybe torch a minor leak in the wall as a distraction. You can even to talk security into arresting the wrong guy so people think the Traitor is caught. The fun of being traitor is being creative.

As a rule of thumb - a round is a lot more fun if the traitor is a hidden threat everybody worries about the whole round even if he never actually succeeds in his mission than a round where the traitor blows up the reactor and just runs around attacking everyone with a blowtorch.

Thanks a lot for the tips!

As a traitor, one of the more hilarious ways to do it is to simply be patient, good chance your target will die before the end of mission completion, and if the mission will be completed soon good chance you can get him killed simply at the last moment using any variety of tactics you have learned.

There are ways to "Buy time" without killing anybody if you feel a need to, if you kill everybody you've likely failed as a traitor anyways given your also tasked with surviving the level (And thus killing everybody and taking out the submarine is essentially failing traitor) - also looks pretty bad to the hosts for most servers

As a traitor, I tend to be useful and look like a good guy...even if my method of killing somebody was to sort of follow them around and simply close the door so they crush in a breach~ ... nobody will even ask questions.

I guess the fun and challenge is not if you can just kill everybody (That is a bit eh to most players ), but to get a little creative with what you know and try taking less out in odd ways.
