Combat Tips

Whoever gets the kill shot, gets the loot. Sure, their gun looks sexy, their armor may be better, or maybe your buddy can't even carry all of the loot.

Whoever gets the kill shot, now owns that loot. Ask, don't take.

When you're just walking around, an enemy can pop out of the blue and annihilate you at pretty much any time. You need to be ready to spray him back to the Walmart office chair from whence he came.

Keep your weapons on auto.

Don't immediately start sending rounds down range at the first sight of an enemy. Assume there's two, assume there's three, assume there's five. Maneuver to gain tactical advantage. When the enemy is hopelessly positioned, open fire with the force of a thousand Suns.

When the fight is over, there will always be one more.

When the killing is done, let the murder scene breathe. Then, check the area. Only after should you loot.

There is no time when you are more vulnerable, than when you are not moving. You don't need to sprint everywhere, but movement will save you when a fight kicks off. Creeping around may get you the jump sometimes, but anytime you're creeping slowly and get spotted first, you're dead.

All is lost without high penetration ammo. The recoil system and AI can hurt you, sure. But, tanky Chad-like players absorbing 30 rounds and then one tapping you, that's the real killer.

Invest in ammo.

Practical Tips

Sure, it's hard to resist the mediocre gear, but AI can be your early warning system. Like the days of the US Army: if the birds are singing in that tree line, there are no fighters in that tree line. AI is your closest thing to a minefield. They tell you where players aren't.

Proof of absence is knowledge.

Eyes will put sights on targets, but ears will orient your body towards potential threats. Pay attention to your audio.

When you hesitate, you put yourself at a loss. Every movement should be executed with confidence. Have the mental solidity of a pro, even though your mechanics may not be there. You'll win some, and you'll lose some. But do it confident and proud. You're learning something in the end.

Your hours played and the age of your account doesn't factor into your obligation to endure loss when you launch this game. When you play, you will experience loss. Even that giant kitted-out try-hard who "literally kills you every raid" has days when he simply can't extract from a single raid and takes huge losses.

Don't let it get it to you.

Advanced Concepts

Tempo
It's what separates the good players from the great players.

Tempo mastery necessitates a comprehensive comprehension of intricate map design, efficient resource management, player movement prediction, PvP tactics, and audio recognition. Moreover, it mandates the skill to effectively apply this knowledge and promptly adapt gameplay accordingly. Mastering each individual aspect of Tempo is an arduous task in itself; nevertheless, lacking a profound comprehension of all individual aspects will hinder your ability to anticipate and respond to stimuli accurately and effectively.

Pre-Raid Checklist

Step 1

Primary Weapons

Primary Weapon

You don't want to go in raid without your most important piece of gear. Without a primary weapon you're vulnerable to every type of threat.

Bring a weapon.

Step 2

Medical Items

Medical Items

Before you go into raid make sure you have your meds sorted. Too many times have players loaded in a raid and realized they have no medical items after a someone or something blasts their arm off.

Step 3

Armor

Armor

Don't. Forget. Your armor.

Even low level armor is valuable. If you don't have the money, or ability, to get Class 4+ armor, bring something. While low class armor wont help much against other players it could save your life from AI.

Step 4

Storage

You don't want to go into a raid without the ability to bring anything out with you. You could stumble across a quest item, valuable ammo, and who knows what else. Make sure you bring at least something with you for storage.

Step 5

Backup Ammunition

If shit goes south and you get into a 1v5, you're going to wish you brough enough ammo to chew through those tanky chads. Bring a stack of backup bullets, and I typically recommend to throw another in my pockets for good measure. You don't want to be caught defenseless.
