Tip #048

Sniper Rifles: Scout Ahead

Pre-Game Preparation Weapons Primary Weapons: Sniper Rifles

Most sniper rifles come equipped with high-powered scopes, even if they don’t have an optic attachment. High-magnification scopes can be used to see far distances, which is great for scouting ahead for enemies or traps.

Tip #153

Put the Money in the Bag

Tac Map: Atlas

National Acropolis Bank branches - and the main branch in Downtown - have a higher chance of spawning Cash drops. If you want Cash, then you may have to consider a quick heist…

Tip #094

Plunder: Loadouts for the Long Haul

With a long search for Cash ahead of you, ensure your Loadout features large weapon magazines for protracted enemy engagements, and visit Police Stations and Gun Stores to gather additional ammo.

Tip #131

Gulag Map Variant 3: Longshots Galore

Infil: Tactics in the Warzone Captured: Prisoner of Warzone Map Variant 3

This map variant has the most potential long-range sightlines out of the three, making it great for random loadouts that have a sniper rifle or marksman rifle. If you have a weapon that’s suited for close-range combat, try sticking to the middle where sightlines are more obstructed.

Tip #222

Tonight at 10: An Unexpected Vantage Point Over Verdansk Central

SECTOR 4: VERDANSK CENTRAL AND SOUTH ZONE 4A: GRAZNA BRIDGE, BCH4 TV STATION

The TV Station area is on natural high ground. Although it isn’t as mountainous as Verdansk North, this section of Central Verdansk, it can still provide an elevated vantage point, especially if you sit atop the TV Station or the Comms Tower.

Tip #051

Remember: Switching to Your Pistol…

Pre-Game Preparation Weapons Secondary Weapons: Handguns

… is always faster than reloading. When your primary weapon runs dry during a firefight, switch to your pistol and keep firing to land that finishing blow.

Tip #237

Terrace on the Tavorsk Park

SECTOR 4: VERDANSK CENTRAL AND SOUTH ZONE 4E: TAVORSK PARK AND STYOR SPOMENIK

The Styor Spomenik has one of the best vista points over the park by way of its spiral staircase. Those with long-range loadouts should gravitate towards here when on the hunt within this area.

Tip #216

Under Construction

SECTOR 3: VERDANSK SOUTHWEST ZONE 3E: KART RACING TRACK, ZOZSNI SPOMENIK, NOVI GRAZNA HILLS

Although these homes aren’t built, they can still act as temporary shelter while exploring the Novi Grazna Hills. These homes also provide great views over to the Barakett Promenade, so consider climbing up to an unfinished roof or second floor to snipe or scout northwards.

Tip #058

Frag Out!

Pre-Game Preparation Weapons Lethal and Tactical: Grenades

Remember that Frag grenades and other thrown grenades can have an arc when thrown. Learn the right angle for throwing grenades at specific distances, and you’ll be able to sling these equipment pieces with precision in no time!
