![]() Battle rifles have more powerful/penetrative bullets and are more accurate than assault rifles, especially at longer ranges. Battle Rifles are different from Assault Rifles because of the bullet and barrel size. You have to shoot fast AND accurately to win. If you can shoot the enemy, they can shoot you, so being able to get a bead on a target and shoot him several times quickly is a central skill for a Rifleman. I strongly recommend you always put a red dot sight or a 4x scope on an assault rifle because they aid in the speed of target acquisition. At long range it is effective in single shots. At close range an assault rifle is effective fired in short bursts of automatic fire. Assault Rifles are good at everything honestly in the right hands. The primary weapons of the Rifleman are Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, and grenades. Rifleman can do a variety of jobs well but is not the best at anything. Rifleman is the jack of all trades, master of none. Rifleman is the simplest class in Insurgency. Always try to keep your weight below 100% and preferably below 80% since there are penalties for carrying a weight load above 75%. In a game where fast reaction is essential this is a major disadvantage. If your character's weight load is above 100%, your character will move very slowly, aim down sights slowly, and switch equipped weapons slowly. When you are in the Loadout screen selecting your character's equipment there is a bar in the top left that give you a percentage of Weight. TL DR is this: the more Stuff your character is carrying, the slower they move and do everything. Running straight at the enemy is the worst thing you can do.Ĩ- There is a Weight mechanic in Insurgency that the game does not explain very well. Move alongside walls, peek around corners before you walk around them, stay in the darkness, flank the enemy while remaining hidden. The most effective way to stay alive is to stay hidden. If you stand out in the open, you will die before you can get even one kill. This will save your life in close quarters combat, which happens frequently in this game.ħ- You must protect yourself with cover and concealment because even heavy armor is weak under sustained fire. Once you get the hang of this you can fire 5-round bursts of automatic fire accurately at closer ranges. Do this by slowly pulling "down" on the mouse while firing on full auto. ![]() It is possible to mitigate recoil for short bursts by pulling your point of aim "downwards" as your gun kicks "upwards" due to recoil. The best way to fire accurately in Insurgency is short controlled bursts at close range and semi-auto (single shot) at long range. Firing your entire mag on full auto is not accurate unless you have a bipod deployed. Move from cover to cover and don't run across open areas unless you have smoke cover.Ħ- Recoil is realistic in this game. This can be a great way to kill an enemy who does not know you are there if you see the barrel of his gun sticking around a corner.ĥ- Most guns in this game are accurate at 200+ meters, so if the enemy can see you, they can shoot you. If an enemy is standing behind cover, you may be able to shoot through the cover and kill the enemy on the other side depending on the penetration value of your gun versus the thickness of the cover. Penetration also affects how the gun performs against body armor higher penetration weapons can completely ignore armor. ![]() Penetration literally means how much material the bullet from that gun will penetrate being being stopped. Body armor does offer good protection against explosives, meaning that light armor will allow you to survive a grenade explosion if it does not go off right next to your face.Ĥ- All guns have a projectile Penetration value. Body armor does not protect the head, legs, arms, or shoulders. It is useful, but body armor only protects the part of the body the armor is worn on the character. I cannot emphasize this enough because your player character is a lot weaker in Insurgency than in games like Call of Duty or Halo.ģ- Body armor is not that great. Your character dies easily so you need to stay behind cover to stay alive. Every gun instakills on a headshot, even pistols. Here are some simple points to remember when you are trying to git gud:ġ- As a general rule, whoever sees the other guy and shoots first, wins.Ģ- Almost every gun can kill you in 2-4 shots. Every game mode is objective-based, and you win the game by attacking and defending objectives. It is not a power fantasy game where you run around the map in circles just racking up kills.
