Reforger tips

Fighting

  • Shoot, move, communicate
  • Slow down, listen, scheme
  • Link up with friendlies. Apes together strong
  • Operate in pairs as much as possible
  • Call out contacts with The Three D's (see The Three D's)
  • Survive first then win the gunfight. Don't try to stand and deliver (see Basic react to effective fire drill)
  • Do the tutorial
  • Don't snipe, assault
  • Flank. If an element is already directly assaulting, execute a flank and harvest souls (see The Four Fs)
  • Use your smoke (see Some common uses for smoke)
  • Use Squad comms for chatting, Platoon comms for business
  • Use the stances, get low and take cover
  • Settings - Controls, don't guess, look shit up. Keybindings for mods will be in here as well
  • Prior to an assault or defence, deploy a radio backpack to allow friendlies to spawn
  • Broken windows that are large enough can be vaulted through
  • Half of tactics is dirt. Read the ground and use it to provide cover and concealment for your movement
  • A bayonet and some persistance can take down a fence
  • Be aware of the Linear Danger Area (LDA) and co-ordinate with friendlies to cross safely. These can be
    roads or clearings

Loadout

  • Pack Light, only carry one weapon, 40 kg at the most. Anything beyond that and you move way too slow
  • You only need 10 mags and 3 frags
  • Friendly HQ tents have ammo for your factions standard rifle and pistol
  • Salvage frags from the enemy
  • Helmet and Armor are worth the weight, can be the difference between getting wasted and just knocked out
  • Flares and flashlights are more fun for night fighting than NVG ever will be
  • Pack Light, seriously, spend a match running and gunning with a 30 kg loadout to see for yourself
  • 4 Bandages, 2 morphine, 1 saline, 1 tourniquet. Salvage meds from the enemy as you go
  • Tracer ammo can set fire to vehicles
  • Carry 40mm HE in your vest, and flares in your pants. Reload will be whatever is in the vest first. This way you
    don't accidently fire a flare when you wanted HE
  • Reload preference order: Vest > Backpack > Shirt > Pants
  • Pack Light, seriously, being able to sprint is worth more than carrying thirty mags

Vehicle

  • Do not drive into hostile objectives, stop 500 meters out and assault on foot
  • Only fill the fuel to 70%, this may help prevent fire
  • Vehicles will sometimes be called "vics"
  • Vehicles are normally best used to engage at range, up close they are a deathtrap

The Four Fs

  • Find
  • Fix
  • Flank
  • Finish

"Create dilemmas, not problems"
General James Mattis USMC

Some common uses for smoke

  • Crossing streets or openings
  • Breaking contact and fucking off (aka pop smoke)
  • Covering downed friendlies so they can be grabbed and extracted
  • Tossed into houses occupied by the enemy because they hate that
  • Marking friendly or hostile location
  • Marking limit of advance or information to shift fire

The Three D's

  • Direction Which way
  • Distance How far
  • Description What is it and or where is it

Example:

"contact north, far, 3 bad guys just went into that gully by the barn"

Even in the simplest form the data is invaluable to anyone around you:

"contact east, close"

Basic react to effective fire drill

  • Double tap in the direction of the contact
  • Dash a few steps
  • Down crawl to cover
  • Fire engage the enemy
  • Communicate the enemy position
