    2. Warzone – Tactical survival in a large open map.

    3. Campaign – Learn mechanics through story missions.

3️⃣ Weapons & Loadouts

Recommended Starter Guns:

SMG (Submachine Gun)Fennec 45 / Lachmann SubHigh fire rate + recoil control.
LMG (Light Machine Gun)RPK / Sakin MG38Great for defense and suppression.

  • Lethal Gear: Frag Grenade or Semtex.

  • Perk Package: Scavenger + Quick Fix + Ghost.

4️⃣ Map & Tactical Awareness

General Rules:

  1. Learn spawn points and hot zones.

  2. Move intelligently — don’t sprint randomly or you’ll be heard.

  3. Use cover and angles. Never stay in the open.

  4. Listen for footsteps. Headphones reveal directions.

  5. Pre-aim corners. Always aim where enemies might appear.

Common Strategies:

  • Push: Flash first → move in → burst fire → relocate.

  • Hold: Lock an angle and suppress with an LMG.

  • Flank: Take the enemy’s blind side and eliminate key players.
