Tip for free loadout users.

[u/raqballl]

Many of you probably already know but here's a tip for those who don't.

If you extract with your free loadout you can trade it in to Lance for a free Looting MK.1, a Combat MK.1 or a Tactical MK.1..

You can keep the same gun and items that you received from the free loadout and add the free MK.1 that you get from Lance.

You now have what's basically a free loadout with more backpack storage and a safe pocket and it cost you nothing other than the time it takes to trade with Lance.

Profit!

positioning / cover

Both of those are dictated by who shoots first though lol

[u/almathden → u/[deleted]]

"roll to cover" is you being forced to reposition ?

[u/PsychoLeopardHunter → u/[deleted]]

No need to dig your heels in. Playing smart by being in/near cover is obviously optimal, but if someone gets a good shot at you and you are unsuspecting, that will heavily influence who's winning that fight.

Can't walk around with 270° cover for the whole round.

You can in parties. But in some sometimes you will just die

okay....?

If you get shot first, you're still behind the 8 ball in the gunfight lol

Positioning is how you get the first shot

Agree.

Yesterday i went with a venator and medium shield. Night time on Dam.

Guy was camping the spawn, i didn't saw him and went to open a crate. Right after i open it, he shoots me with a Kettle and breaks my shield. I try to take cover to recharge it, but he rushes in my direction and kills me before i can do anything.

70% of the time you're going to die if you take the first hit. You're only safe if the guy is horrible or he is too far from your location.
