Shotguns are the sledgehammers of close-quarters combat. Few video game experiences match the thrill of swinging through a doorway, blasting an enemy to bits, then pumping the gun to chamber the next sh

Some attachments also provide horizontal recoil control, firing stability, camera stability, and many more bonuses. I'm not asking you to go into matches with million-dollar kits (which I usually prefer, going full gold), but at least have something that helps you tank a few shots in head-on fig

Zero Dam's underground tunnel to admin, Space City's west gate , employee passage, and eastern bridge, to name a few, can give you a tactical advantage against teams and help you close distances without sprinting all over the

Take up a position where you wouldn't think to look if you were in the enemy players' shoes, and let them pass. If you've positioned yourself well, you'll watch as the squad runs past you without a second glance. Whether you want to engage after that depends on your risk tolera

The G17 sacrifices everything a good single-shot pistol has for a slightly better fire rate. It feels like a "last resort" because of the mediocre control and a death sentence if the enemy has a G18 or

At the time of its introduction, the M16A2 got a lot of heat from grunts transitioning from the M16A1. The new rifle had a heavier barrel and stock and traded the full-auto mode for a three-round bu

Always keep some hardcover between you and your enemy, then use it to separate and confuse the enemy squad. You don't have anyone on the mic to communicate with, so no one else needs help coordinating their movements. The more mobile you are, the more you can split up an enemy group and put their comms into cha

Chambered in the same 5.56x45mm caliber of the M16A2 and CAR-15, the M249 takes advantage of the round's soft recoil to allow the shooter to put down accurate sustained fire without needing to use bipods or resting the wea

Second, you need to know the maps you're playing on . If this is your first time running a map (especially Space City), look at the tactical map as you fly in and then for a few seconds after deploying. Note where the safe icons are and whether any enemy officers are alive. Steer clear of b

I don't support taking two kitted ARs into the game since most of the time you use only one of them. You can bring in a pistol for a sidearm instead, but if you are down and out, the Bizon has your b

If you're pushing for ranked and not going with better attachments for guns and gear, you're putting yourself at a significant disadvantage. Some helmets, like the DICH series helmet, provide a hearing range bonus , which helps to figure out the enemies' location before they

The UZI is the first submachine gun in the game that plays similarly to what one would expect out of a game like Battlefield or Call of Duty . It's light, snappy, and has a fast enough fire-rate to keep up with the fast movements of close-range enem

As a distant relative to the Bizon, the Vityaz keeps a familiar feature set — moderate fire rate, decent iron sight and range, relatively high damage, and smooth handling . Like the AK-12, though, it's far too tempera

However, you can even use high-tier ammo in it, as 5.56x45mm rounds are abundant in the auction house and sold at a lower price than others. Plus, if you don't bring enough low-tier ammunition to kill bots in a match, you can loot an AI bot to refill your arse

That leads to our next tip: only take one-on-one fights, even if you know you have to fight a full squad of three. The maps in Delta Force Maps Force have enough cover and ways to break line of sight that you can move so you're only fighting one player at a time. Two-versus-one is a losing proposit

It's not quite as easy as it sounds, but you can use the same basic strategies to win fights and avoid them. Your first and most important defense is your hearing. Always have a helmet with audio amplification and noise cancellation like the MC2

Operators really don't matter much when you're pushing for the top ranks. However, some team compositions are stronger than others. If you don't have a smoke operator and one of your teammates goes down, you won't be able to rescue t

So, the first strategy is don't take fights you know you can't win . Sounds obvious, but it isn't always. If you hear more than two sets of footsteps moving around you , and they don't sound like the back and forth of the AI, you'll know there are two humans on the other end. If they peek at you at the same time, your odds of winning are s

The recoil is minimal, and with more attachments, you can fine-tune it more. The base magazine capacity isn't enough, so I recommend using a 30-round extended magazine attachment with the rifle to compensate for low ammo capac

Combine the self-heal with moving erratically to escape fights, and it's possible to play guerrilla warfare with whole groups , diving in and out of combat, jumping out of windows, and generally being a nuisance. You might not get the entire squad, but you can cause no end of frustration or at least get away with your l
