Quick notes

  • Pair range with close control. The two main weapon slots encourage complementary roles.
  • Know the rifle rhythm. Bolt-action rifles require a pause between shots.
  • Use mounted guns briefly. Mounted weapons offer sustained fire but fix Martin, Evans or Voronin in one location.
  • Watch ammunition before swapping. A powerful pickup is only helpful when it has useful ammunition.
Useful tip

A powerful pickup is only helpful when it has useful ammunition.
