Frequently Asked Questions:

• Q: How do I use tear gas in single player or terrorist hunt?
  A: You can't. Tear gas is only usable in adversarial (player vs. player) modes online, and only if the host permits it.
• Q: What does adversarial mode mean?
  A: It refers to any game mode where players compete against each other, rather than against AI-controlled enemies.
• Q: Why does the server host seem invincible or have an advantage?
  A: This is known as Host Advantage. Since the server runs on the host's console, they experience no lag or delay. The best you can hope for is a good connection to the host to minimize lag.
• Q: Can I make my own armor?
  A: No, you can only custom make your own camouflage patterns and choose 3 colors for them. This feature requires Elite rank.
• Q: Are unlocked armors from higher ranks better than starter armor?
  A: No, unlocked armors have different appearances but provide the same protection and mobility ratings as their corresponding class starter armor.
• Q: Is there a melee attack in this game?
  A: No, there is no melee attack in Rainbow Six Vegas.
• Q: I have infinite ammo for my pistol. Is this a bug?
  A: No, this is intended. All players have infinite ammo for their pistol.
• Q: I encountered a player who was impossible to kill, seemingly running in place. What is this?
  A: This is a game glitch, likely performed intentionally. If you are the host, ban the player. If not, ask the host to ban them. If the host is glitching, leave the server to avoid cheaters.
• Q: What is 'boosting' and how do I do it?
  A: Boosting is an exploit where players let their game run idle to collect XP without playing. While the author doesn't actively discourage it, it's considered an exploit and won't be discussed further.
• Q: Can I ask a question not covered here?
  A: Yes, you may email the author at the address provided at the top of the FAQ. If it's a good question, it will be added to the FAQ with credit.
