Field Tactics & Pro Tips

  • ▸Controlled pacing: With a fire rate of 5.25 rds/s, burst-fire or single-tap cadences will yield far higher consistency than prolonged spray patterns.
  • ▸ADS Zoom (1.5×): Switch to aim-down-sights when holding tight long-distance sightlines to reduce recoil dispersion.
