*** Elsewhere in the tournament map***
In the center of the map, the fighting between players had already died down a lot. Most players were afraid to go into the pyramid zone, because of the sniper.
Every time they fired a shot, the sonic clap would make players flinch. And that was those not targeted.
The players that became the sniper's unfortunate target, died in one hit almost every time. So that zone became a no-man's-land, except for the brave or foolhardy.
The fighting in most of the zones had died down also, because of the sheer size of the map. Players were crossing paths less and less, making the elimination process slow down.
They were already down two hundred and fifty players, halfway through the end of phase one. Some smarter players had already started switching tactics from hunting to ambush.
