Loadouts

Primary you can shoot on the move

A sniper-only kit fails in buildings. Bring a close option even if you love long lanes.

Ammo types matter. Do not mix five calibers you cannot loot consistently.

Heals are a slot, not a maybe

If the bag is all guns, you will lose the second fight. Split space for stims and a backup mag.

Gadgets that open a path are worth more than a third legendary skin.

After a good extract, bank

Do not immediately reinvest everything into a louder kit. Keep a floor so a bad raid does not send you to fists.
