Playing as Jim can take some familiarity between zombies: here’s how to use Back 4 Blood’s number one sniper
In our guide to Back 4 Blood we will explain to you how to use each character, and after other cast members not yet dismembered by the zombies it’s the turn of Jim. Contrary to characters already analyzed, such as Holly, in this case we are dealing with a character a bit more niche. But perhaps it is not the most appropriate term: in reality the optimal use of Jim is of a type that, in English, is called “situational”. In Italian there is no real equivalent to the term, so we will limit ourselves to saying that the sniper is best suited to very specific situations.
The aim according to Jim
Jim’s role is, in fact, that of a sniper, but given the horde of zombies you will always have to deal with in Back 4 Blood it is natural to wonder how to use this character in the best possible way. In summary, this Exterminator excels at accurate shots and is the most suitable for exploit weaknesses of the Haunted. In other words, therefore, he is the ideal character to focus on the bigger characters like the Colossi and the bosses. So if you get along well with long-range shots, whether it’s sniper shooters or classes that have them, Jim is just the survivor for you.

In reality, the best weapons for Jim are not limited to just the ones sniper rifles: the boy also knows his stuff with i semi-automatic assault rifles. You will want to focus on weapons of this type, if you really want to make the most of its eliminations so “surgical” in their precision. One thing you will always need to make sure of, though, is to keep yourself at a safe distance from the Infested, otherwise those tasty chains of damage will be ruined.
