weapon effective ranges

Each weapon has damage falloff which is based on the DST statistic. For example the M4 Custom has a DST value of E. The M4 Custom's stats can be seen on the right.

When you land a headshot on enemies who are outside your weapons effective range, the shot will do reduced damage.

Weapons with a higher DMG rating and DST rating can do much higher damage at longer distances; however, mid range weapons with a high STB rating are effective in most firefights.

Assault Rifle

Assault Rifle is a very powerful skill, as the decreased recoil greatly affects bullet grouping. The decreased reload time means you are active during firefights for longer, and can save your life when caught during a reload.

Assault Rifle has diminishing returns after level 2. This makes Assault Rifle level 2 one of the most popular weapon skills in the game.

Runner

Runner is the most versatile skill in the entire game. The additional movement speed helps move objectives, flank, and dodge tricky situations all thanks to the added mobility of your character.

aiming consistently

Knowing the position of player's heads on flat grounds allows you to pre-aim shots by focusing on moving left and right.

Learning how to keep your camera at the same height as other player's heads will open up a whole world of opportunities!

Skills such as Runner and Assault Rifle are universally useful in many modes, and don't require additional game knowledge to make use of. Making these skills incredibly efficient. But other weapon skills exist for each of the main primary and secondary weapons!

SOP Skills that share information with your team can make or break tense situations in many modes without player respawns like Rescue or Team Sneaking!
