To get a First Strike Kill you must be the first person in the game to kill an opposing player. An excellent way to do this is by playing Rumble or Control.

In Rumble, on smaller maps you will spawn very near enemy players at the start of the match. Take advantage of this by immediately crouching and look for any movement on your radar. If you see some, head there as quickly as you can to try and secure the kill. Use sprint and slide to cover lots of ground and obscure yourself from the map as much as possible. You can also join up with two other friends and intentionally seek out and trade off first bloods.

For Control, the best way to try and secure a first blood is on an outdoor map like First Light or Burning Shrine. When the round begins hop on the nearest PikeSparrow w/ cannonsor bring out your own Sparrow if another player snagged them. Head directly to the opposing teams first point, which will always be either A or C depending on your side. If you are on a Pike try and go for a kill while mounted. If you used a Sparrow dismount and try and rush down someone, or get between their point and B, crouch and pick off whoever passes between points.
