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

Suppressor trades a little recoil control for hiding your muzzle flash and gunshot direction — worth it on the P90's high fire rate, since Rook plays a patient, positional game rather than sweeping for first contact. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser sharpens hip-fire for the trades that follow. The Reaper MK2 mirrors it with Flash Hider and the same laser attachment for a consistent backup.

Who it is best for

Players who want Nitro Cell as the default utility — real damage against a stack or a plant, which matters most for an operator whose own gadget is pure support rather than denial.

Primary weapon

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

Hides your muzzle flash and gunshot direction at the cost of some recoil control.

Grip

Not available

Secondary weapon

Machine Pistol

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

Reduces vertical recoil climb. Universally good — the safe default on most weapons.

Grip

Not available

Gadget

Remote explosive for punishing plants and stacked pushes.
