FAQ: Meta Loadouts & Season 5

SG552, CAR‑15, M4A1, CI‑19, AK-12, SMG‑45, QBJ201

2. How to get the new KC‑17?

Rare Operations-mode crate drops; watch for mid-season unlock events

3. How does the Compound Bow fit into meta?

Great for stealth or mid-range play in Recon; unlocked via event missions

4. Is SMG‑45 still top-tier?

Yes, still dominates CQB scenarios with best-in-class control and fire rate

5. Best sniper and mid-range builds?

• AWM with suppressor + 6× for one-shot kills

6. Do attachments really matter?

Absolutely. Grips like Bevel, compensators like Sandstorm, and extended mags greatly influence control and damage output

7. Which operator is best suited for aggressive play in Season 5?

The new operator Tempest is ideal for aggressive players. Her enhanced sprint/swim speed, combat roll, and limited self-revive make her a top pick for fast-paced objective rushing and flanking.

8. What’s the best gadget combo for Recon players?

For stealth and information gathering, pair the SMG-45 or Compound Bow with a Recon Beacon and Smoke Grenades. This combo gives you map awareness and escape options in tight situations.
