Why This Loadout Works So Well?

This setup works because it handles every fight distance and every game situation.

  • Deadeye AR allows you to beam enemies from range with very low recoil.
  • ARC Lightning Gun applies constant pressure and deletes bushes instantly, which is extremely strong in Zero Build.
  • Twin Hammer Shotgun finishes fights quickly when enemies push close.
  • Shockwave Grenades give instant control of positioning, escapes, and height.
  • Shield Potions keep you alive in a fast-paced, third-party-heavy meta.

How to Play With This Loadout?

  1. Open fights with the Deadeye AR to apply safe mid-range pressure and crack shields before pushing.
  2. Use Shockwave Grenades to close the distance or reposition aggressively.
  3. Apply ARC Lightning Gun pressure to force enemies out of cover.
  4. Finish fights with the Twin Hammer Shotgun at close range.
  5. Heal immediately after each fight so you are ready if another enemy team shows up.
