Tips for new players
By Tefanforfance
My guide with tips on how to play the game. In this guide I've put together a number of recommendations for not very experienced players that will help you contribute to every round even with a bad K/D. If you disagree with anything, feel free to post it in the comments. I hope you find something useful.

Laser
The laser is useless, if you put it on a weapon, only with minimal recoil and appropriate modifications. I do not recommend installing it.
Pistols
Guns are useless. Not worth spending points on. You can take them just in case if you have unused points. P.S Desert Eagle is not bad.
Explosive C4
The breaker is quite a popular class, one of the features of which, is the presence of shotguns. But we are not interested in shotguns, but C4. Its use is much wider than just blowing up geocaches.
When playing in defense, you can roll back the capture with explosives. To do this, set it in the center of the control point. Most often the point is located in a small room. We try to place it so that when it explodes, it will hit the maximum number of positions, which in theory will be occupied by the enemy. Then simply leave the point to control any of the approaches to it from the rear. As soon as the point is captured, you can wait a bit and activate C4. Before you do this, make sure you don't hurt your allies. To do this, just open the map and see where your allies are. As long as your allies are on the point, it can be repelled.

If everything is in order, then after the explosion we run to replenish ammunition on the box. But if immediately after the explosion the capture did not stop, and allies do not have time to the point, then immediately go in and repel it if possible.
Don't stand by the window
The window is the worst position, you in the window is an easy target. It may seem that you have a view of the enemy positions, but in fact from all these positions you can clearly see the house, the window in the house, and you in the window. You should look out the window from the corner of the room and try not to get under the points, where in theory there could be snipers.

Also in the window often flies RPG, especially if it is a checkpoint. Therefore, do not stand at the wall opposite the window, to survive the explosion is quite realistic if you have maximum armor.
Supply box
On the respawn there is a box with equipment through it you can not only change class, but also replenish the missing ammunition. Thanks to this it is possible after shooting all smoke grenades, to return for new ones, it can be repeated endlessly.
Smokes
Among players there are not favorite maps such as “Hillside”, This is because of the open spaces on the approaches to the points. However, using smoke, you can safely overcome open spaces. Players almost never use smoke, but they are needed almost always.
The maximum smoke that can be taken is three smoke grenades and three smoke grenades in the underbarrel. It is possible to collect such equipment on the class of a gunner, i.e. several members of the team can do it at once. The effect of even 6 smoke grenades will be very significant. You can even take the maximum armor, sacrificing modifications and taking the cheapest weapon.
Equipment
If you take the underbarrel grenade launcher, you should take a large equipment, even if you are not going to take grenades with you. With less equipment you will have one shot in the underbarrel grenade launcher, which is not enough.Also maximum equipment is mandatory for the machine gunner class.
Yes, you can limit yourself to light equipment, but why take a grenade launcher if you're going to fire it once? You could just get a grenade.
Armor
You often hear the opinion that armor is useless, as you will die from a single bullet anyway. But armor makes a lot of sense. At long range, you are more likely to survive a bullet. You're also more likely to survive near a grenade explosion. But whether it's worth 3 points and a reduction in mobility is up to you.
Oreinteing on the map
It will be hard to get used to the maps, but that's not a problem. All you need to know is that you need to take points. That is, you just need to stay on the point if you are on defense and try to take the point if you are on the attack.
Canopy shooting
On some points, you can throw smoke on the canopy from the underbarrel grenade launcher without moving away from the box. This is done by eye, but you can ask someone to adjust the fire with simple phrases (overflight, underflight, left, right).
The advice is situational and doesn't come in handy much. I do it sometimes, and I think it helps my team.
Car
The machine is used by experienced players to quickly capture points. I don't recommend getting in it unnecessarily. It is easier to kill a machine gunner than any other member of the enemy team. In general, the machine is a very easy target.
The following uses:
  • Drive up to the chest to replenish the underbarrel grenade launcher and drive back.
  • Sprint to a point, you can land five of you on a point before the enemy, even if you are on the attacking side.
If you have approached an enemy vehicle, try to take it deep into the rear. After blowing up the car, it will respawn, so you can deprive the enemy of the car.
