|
Since this game is new and contains a lot of mechanics that are unfamiliar, we should dump some winning tips and strats in here. Some thoughts off the top of my head:
* armed vehicles are very powerful - don't leave them in the spawn (choppers, CAT, SUV)
* the armored CAT truck is the equivalent to a tank in BF4
* weapon attachment guide
* always look at your minimap for battle pickup locations. Stingers and RPGs are crucial to victory
* all vehicles except the CAT can be damaged by small arms fire. grenades and M79s also do a good deal of damage to vehicles.
* the minigun on the SUV is almost like the mobile AA in BF4 - use it against choppers from a safe distance
* save up for the RPG/Stinger armories for your sedan and coupe. with these you can basically spawn with a rocket as long as the aforementioned vehicles are available.
* you take double damage from tear gas. consider a gas mask purchase.
* PDWs are much more effective than they were in BF4
* when raiding vaults, don't get greedy if you're all alone. the enemy team gets an immediate audio alert when you start pilfering.
* when raiding vaults you can hold 'E' and then turn around to shoot enemies as they arrive, just like when arming MCOMs in BF4. |

I'd like to +1 these two points. Raiding an enemy vault stands a good chance of pulling the enemy team off of either the Money Pile or your vault. They don't know that you're only stealing 1K unless they are paying close attention to the money count. So, take 1K and run, you may just thin out the enemy team elsewhere which will help your team.
Look around while you're grabbing money!
Additionally, Beerdicus has found how useful the Ziplines are. There are zipline pickups on most maps but you can also buy one for the Enforcer class. These are super helpful in getting money back to your vault. Pro-tip, if you see a zipline that is not going your way, most likely this is an enemy zipline. Destroy it by shooting it and deny the enemy mobility. |

| M3M heavy machine gun for vehicle turrets do a lot of damage to vehicles but very little to infantry. If you expect a lot of infantry, stick to the miniguns. Also, the M3M overheats quickly so bursting is necessary. I'm finding the miniguns to be the best attack chopper main weapon. It does less damage per second but can fire for much longer periods of time and is far superior in killing infantry. |

| Yeah, the stock guns for the SUV and CAT are superior for killing infantry. |
