Gunsmith Strategy: When building a weapon, identify its primary role. If it's a close-range SMG, prioritize attachments that boost ADS speed, sprint-to-fire speed, and hip-fire accuracy. For a long-range AR, focus on damage range, bullet velocity, and recoil control. The 'Pros' and 'Cons' displayed in the Gunsmith are crucial for informed decisions.
