Tips, Best guns and Loadouts.
Though i haven't played this game as much as most people or gotten as many kills or wins as most other people i have still found some pretty useful tips that have saved me multiple times.
Tips
1. Balloons really do help. They can help you into the ring, get to far away teammates or scout, go to the top of a balloon and as soon as you see the red cloth, jump off the wire and grab it again to carry on observing from a high point and whenever you see someone, use the balloon to pounce.
2. Sliding gets you ahead, even if you're on a slight downhill, just sliding a little will get you places faster.
3. Being aggressive is high risk but high reward. when first looting try and find a couple of guns you are comfortable with and armour, then move to wherever gunshots are and use balloons to help you find people and gunshots, people are better loot than anything else in the game.
4. Gliding. This is a simple method to get you further, allowing you to fly farther and have a slow start so you don't die off the bat. when dropping pay attention to the bar on the left side, that's your speed. Aim straight down until that bar gets to 140, then aim up and glide in an almost horizontal line until you start to drop at around 125 where you aim down again and repeat.
5. Recoil, for most guns it's barely anything, though the wingman kicks hard on screen, the next time you can shoot its very near the area you were aiming at, assault rifles have a medium recoil but spraying at the enemy is still the way to go, dont single fire like you would in other games like PUBG or Fortnite. The M800 suffers very little of recoil, especially with a barrel stabilizer, and its large ammo capacity with a HEM (Heavy Extended Mag) makes it almost the best mid range weapon.
Weapons
1. The R-99 is the most powerful SMGs. It spits out bullets like a storm with a super high fire rate and does 12 damage or 18 with a headshot. Its fire rate is 1080 rounds per minute making its DPS The second highest to the mastiff which is still inconsistent depending on range with a 220 dps. with full attachments makes this weapon a killing machine. Bangalore uses this gun well with her passive, she can shoot a full magazine, if she gets shot at she can run away and reload then go back in and mag-dump again.
2. The M600, with a consistent firerate dealing 20 damage a shot or 40 with a headshot, the gun has a 170 DPS with a 512 Rounds per minute fire rate, its recoil is barely existent making it super easy to laser people in the midrange.
3. Golden guns. The mastiff is the only shotgun that can 1 shot a legend with purple or gold armour, it can deal 288 headshot damage in one shot which is very excessive but it makes the gun worth the small risk of getting a supply drop. The Kraber .50 cal can kill people in one shot as well doing 250 headshot damage and being well worth the risk.
Mastiff:
4. The devotion, the high fire rate and high damage does cost recoil, as one of the weapons that struggle from the most recoil, this weapon is overly powerful in the right hands, with a golden barrel stabilizer which may be hard to locate but is well worth it with a DPS of 205. Two downsides to this weapon is the ammo which is energy ammo and difficult to find and the other is recoil which is hard to control at certain times. The devotion also has its own Hop-Up called the turbocharger which makes it spin up faster which makes this gun even better.
5. The wingman pistol, though it is only a pistol, it is extremely powerful, dealing 90 damage to the head with a 205 round per minute fire rate with hardly any recoil, it's a point and shoot, high damage dealing weapon which is even better with the Hop-Up. This gun is used by a popular streamer, shroud, who shows this weapons true power in the right hands.
6. The R-301 Carbine is a fully automatic assault rifle that takes light ammo that deals 14 damage a shot and 28 for a headshot, though this seems insignificant, the R-301 Carbine boasts a 720 rounds per minute fire rate and a 180 DPS which is more than all of the other assault rifles, and the ammo it requires is super common and the weapon itself is easily found around the map
Loadouts
1. As described earlier the R-99 SMG goes very well with Bangalore, she is able to run into battle, smoke and run and then return back to the fight within seconds, as a secondary I would recommend a long range like a m600 or a sniper as the R-99 doesn’t have too much range. This is a very good loadout for a bangalore main.
2. Gibraltar peek and fire. Get a high damage, low fire rate weapon like a sniper, place down your shield dome and peek out of the sides for a short time and take a shot then return to the cover of your dome shield, some people may counter this method with a sniper pre aim so try to bamboozle your opponents with some sneaky peeks.
I hope these help you and make sure to comment any improvements or anything I missed.
