Tips for Casual Players
- Grab plates first. Survivability wins more games than having the best weapon. Always top up before pushing.
- Your weapon's archetype matters more than the weapon itself. An S-tier gun with a bad archetype can underperform — check the archetype before committing to a build.
- Start with S or A tier. You don't need to master the meta — just avoid D-tier weapons unless you have no choice.
- Close-range fights? SMGs and shotguns beat ARs in tight spaces every time. Swap your secondary accordingly.
- Don't chase legendary. A Rare weapon with the right archetype beats a Legendary with the wrong one.
