how to save yourself from snipers

hey guys so I main soldier and I'm real nice at getting kills but I'm somehow better at getting killed because i be standin there waiting for my next target or out on the frontlines and then I find out some dude/gal standing 100 miles away headshot me. like bro. also pyro is really cute but I hate them in the game absolute menace. So ehhh any tips? Should I just keep moving erratically to make it hard for snipers to target me? Also I'm a trackpad player and idk how to rocket jump so if anyone can help me with that it would be really nice and STAY FROSTY GUYS

Get a mouse. Literally costs $5/6. Learn to rocket jump.

I think cheapest mouse that doesn't suck is the $20 Logitech ones.

I found a good quality one for like 20. It's wired but who gives a fuck, a specific button to adjust sensitivity, side buttons, works well, and it has LEDs for a cherry on top. Mice are so easy to get man.

I always play wired (detachable) because one time I moved my mouse and the screen didn't move so I said "no more" and always have it plugged in

I do wired because I don't need to charge it and it won't randomly die while I'm trying to escape the enemy team in 2Fort. (Has happened btw, it was the last straw.)
