Vote on This Loadout

Expert recommendation

Written and reviewed by hand for this patch. This is an opinion, not a win-rate measurement.

Why it works

Compensator is the pick when you already keep the Scorpion controlled vertically and horizontal drift is what actually costs you during a spray — it rewards the control needed for the close, reactive fights Ela's Grzmot mines are built to set up. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser sharpens hip-fire for the trades that follow. The RG15 mirrors it with Muzzle Brake and the same laser attachment for a consistent backup.

Who it is best for

Players who want Impact Grenades as the default utility — instant rotates and vertical lines to reposition once her mines have already disoriented whoever triggered them.

Primary weapon

NATO. Clear centre, but obstructs more peripheral vision than a red dot.

Reduces horizontal recoil drift. Rewards players who already control vertical climb.

Reduces vertical recoil. The default pick for sustained fire.

Secondary weapon

Handgun

No optic. The cleanest peripheral vision, and nothing to obstruct a close angle.

Tightens the first shots. Best on burst-fire and marksman weapons.
