Welcome to Blacklight Retribution!
This guide will guide you through the following: Combat( Close range, Medium-Long Range, using a Hardsuit, and Eliminating Hardsuits permanently or for your use by killing the player in it and using it for yourself.
Your Weapon And You!
There are various types of Weapon Recievers such as:
  • An Assault Rifle
  • A sub-Machine Gun
  • A shotgun
  • Anti-Material Rifles
  • And many more!
Each one has a dinstinct personality and is FULLY customizable from Attachments to Weapon Tags and Camoflauges along with your equipment and armor of which effects your statistics from Health and Speed to Recoil and Damage.
Depending on how long you play in a match and how you do effects how much Gold and Experience you earn that match. And what do you with Gold you ask? YOU BUY DE WEAPONS N SH*T
You can go to the "shop" by Going through the Customization Tab and clicking in any of the sub-tabs and an item. Each item you look at for purchase can either be bought with a Rental which you can rent for a limite time for a Price of GP.
  • 1 Day
  • 3 Days
  • 7 Days
  • 30 Days
  • 90 Days
  • And Permanent in which you can completely own the weapon for a Higher Price.

OR, Yes there is an OR, you can level up and Receive a Weapon Tag Chance pack and a Reward Pack. Now the Weapon Tag Chance Pack Pack comes with ANY tag for your Primary Weapon. NOTE: Weapon Tags provide a Statistic boost in it's description and weapon stats.
And there goes the Reward Pack which provides equipment, armor, receiver, and attachments that is unlocked at your level.
Combat Tips: Close Quarters Combat
Just because someone is the type whoPays/Buys to win(Buys higher leveled or equal levelled weapons with ZEN in which you buy with Life Currency), doesn't mean they are invincible nor do they always have an Advantage.

Close Quarters Combat!Frequently, you will encounter an enemy in Close Range. In which SPRAY AND PRAY comes in handy. Thus, comes in a list and TIPS of how to overcome others.
  • REMEMBER, ACCURACY IS IMPORTANT. Just because you're holding down the mouse button doesn't mean you can't control the fire. Accuracy can depends on whether you kill your opponent, or making an outline of him on a wall.
  • THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE IS ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE. If you KNOW someone is behind cover, around a corner, or coming towards you while you're behind cover, you HAVE the power to Surprise him by JUMPING out of cover and doing what you have to do.
  • YOU DO HAVE A SECONDARY AND EQUIPMENT! Many Novices(SUCH AS YOURSELF) tend to run behind cover and reload their Primary when out of ammo giving a perfect opportunity to get their head blown off in a cowardly fashion. It ISrecommended to bring a Melee Weapon in one of your Equipment slots for and unexpected kill. Otherwise, you pull out your secondary to finish your opponent off with a Stand-Off/Duel which makes you seem like a TOTAL BADASS.
  • FOOTWORK CAN DETERMINE WHETHER YOU LIVE OR NOT! And of course, I mean EVASIVE MANEUVERS.
    • If there ever comes a time to pull at your Melee Weapon make sure you RUSH DAT MADAF*CKAH! But in order to succeed, you must MANEUVER left and right in squiggly lines while rushing and jumping to throw off your opponents aim and then, KNIFING YOUR OPPONENTS' NECK AND LOOKING LIKE A BADASS.
    • Second, if you KNOW that you won't be able to survive, you can SPRINT AWAY and look like a CHICKEN SH*T while using the EVASIVE MANEUVER to a Safe haven with a teammate.

Combat Tips: Medium-Long Range Combat
In certain maps, you will be paired with enemies over a fair distance of wher Spraying and Praying will be of no use to you. And that's when [bTight Aim][/b] comes into use.Depending on what weapon you use, depends on what firing style is recommended. Whether it goes to single shot, burst fire, or "Full Retawd" where bullets CAN go flying everywhere.
  • Medium-Ranged DO'S N DONT'S
    • DO Strafe while aiming and shooting but don't always strafe one way. Mix it up left and right to loosen your opponent's aim.
    • DON'T Stand there shooting making a perfect Paper Target.
    • DO Control your firing rate to what you can handle. Vary between Burstfiring in different lengths.
    • DON'T Spray and lose control and make outlines of your enemy.
    • DO not panic!
    • DON'T panic!
  • Long-Range DO'S N DONT'S
    • DO Crouch behind cover and peek out while shooting. The more cover, the better you are protected.
    • DON'T Stand and or Strafe. Again, you'll be a target and or decrease accuracy.
    • And everything else on the DO'S N DONT'S above
Combat Tip: Hardsuits
As you complete an objective, get a kill, or achieve an assist, you will earn CP, or Combat Points. In which you can use to buy health, ammo, and other depot items including the 1300 CP Hardsuit. After you buy a Hardsuit from a Depot, you will have a remote in which you call it in. To call in said Hardsuit, you NEED to call it in with an open sky and no roof/ceiling. After choosing a spot, point to the ground and hold the Left Mouse Button until summoned and make sure it's "blueprints" are green.

CALLING IT IN
Whoever calls in a Hardsuit will have the advantage of getting in the fastest which is 1-2 Seconds while someone who is an enemy or a teammate will take 10 Seconds(I'm actually guesstimating heh..)

USING THE HARDSUIT
  • IN THE MOTHERF*CKING LEFT MOUSE BUTTON WE GOT DAT MINIGUN. THIS SH*T IS GOOD FOR SUPPRESSIVE FIRE BUT MAINLY FOR SPRAYING SOMEONE INTO A RED GUSH OF BLOOD. But it still requires a reload.. So..
  • AND IN THE OTHER MOUSE BUTTON WE GOT DA ONE-SHOT ONE KILL RAILGUN. Although it is a one-shot, one-kill to a player, it DOES require ACCURACY.

HARDSUIT VERSUS HARDSUIT
At times you you're rockin a Hardsuit, you WILL encounter an enemy Hardsuit.
REMEMBER:Just because you're in a Hardsuit, doesn't mean Headshots don't do extra damage! That's when Multi-tasking comes in. Aim for the head, HOLD THAT LEFT MOUSE BUTTON AND START TAPPING THAT RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON!

YOU VERSUS A HARDSUIT
Of course when it comes to you and an enemy Hardsuit you don't stand a chance gun to gun, of course. But here are some tips and strategies for defeating the enemy Hardsuit!
  • DESTROYING THE HARDSUIT
    • It's fast and easy. The RL5 Armor Stinger does 7,500 Damage per Direct Hit against a Hardsuit while they have 15,000 Max Armor/Health. You easily dispose of it and have the sweet, joyous feeling of destroying it as soon as he gets one.
  • TAKING THE ENEMY HARDSUIT
    • It is possible to ONLY kill just the PLAYER in the Hardsuit and hack it for use. And the trick is using a FLAMENWUFFER!(Flamethrower). After buying a Flamethrower from a Depot, you can easily melt out the player.

You forgot that when you look at a hardsuit through HRV, a part of it's boy will glow purple. That's the weak point, weakpoints recieve 10x damage from non-explosive weapons. This makes shotguns and LMGs great anti-suit weapons since you can out strafe a suit's turn speed and blast the weakpoint whilist being all up in their grille. The weakspot is random, but always land on either the head, groin, railgun, minigun, left arm, right arm, left shoulder, right shoulder, left leg, or right leg. The torso will never be the weakspot and the Battle Mode gear negates the weakspot for 10 seconds.

Tip one: Don't use Derpsuits, spesially on bigger maps. They are sluggish, no-one will come in you sight on etc "Teapot" and you don't have HRV, but you can be HRVed. And it only takes 2 rpgs to take you out.
