You need to watch him closely. 70 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,720 As soon as he drives through the flag to plant a new mine, drive over one of the mines, get 71 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,539 on top of him, capture the flag and speed off. 72 00:05:50,539 --> 00:05:55,800 Sounds like a scene from an action film, but it’s easier than it looks — just make 73 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,280 sure you have Double Armor activated. 74 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:03,560 That’s all from me, use mines wisely.
