When the loadout drop is worth it
A ground loot AR can win the first fight. Your real guns wait until the squad can cover the crate. Keep more game information handy when a new season shuffles perks.
Gas edge, roof line, buy station
Play the edge if you lack snipers. Play the roof if you have them. A buy station in the open is a third-party bell. See this resource for extra notes on gulag returns and UAV timing.
