Tips
  • General Loadout Recommendations: Rear Grip: XTEN Grip, Barrel: Tempus Trench Pro, Muzzle: FTAC Dreadnaught, Underbarrel: Merc Foregrip. An optic of your choice is also recommended. Be prepared for recoil by practicing rapid tapping and dragging aim down.
  • Double Kill Strategies: Equip the 15-round magazine attachment. Use the SPW 40MM or Corvus Masterkey underbarrel attachments. Alternatively, switch killstreaks to score streaks and aim for VTOL jets. For the 15-round magazine, focus on areas where enemies funnel, like gates, doorways, or vans, and utilize Hardpoints and Headquarters. The SPW 40MM grenade launcher can be effective on objectives like Hardpoint by launching into the site. The Corvus Masterkey aids in close-quarters hip fire kills. If using the VTOL jet, coordinate your FTAC Recon kill with the VTOL's kill to count as a double kill for the challenge. Using UAV and Counter UAV can help farm scorestreaks faster.
  • Gold Camo Challenge: Utilize strategies from previous challenges, such as camping for hipfire kills, watching spawn traps, or pre-aiming common enemy paths.
  • Platinum Camo Challenge (Longshots): Best maps include Invasion or Ground War maps, utilizing building or high vantage points. Maps like Hydroplant and Embassy also offer long-range opportunities. Consider the 'Bull Rider 16.5” Barrel' attachment for its silencer and stats.
  • Polyatomic Camo Challenge (Headshots): Use either the ADS build or the longshot build. For the range build, aim for headshots against stationary targets like marksman or sniper players on maps like El Asilo, Las Almas, or Al Bagra. For closer range, aim for the chest and let recoil guide the shot to the head, or aim at hip level for mid-range enemies and let recoil lift to head height. Close-range fights guarding pathways or watching thin points can also make headshots easier.
