Reforger tips

Reforger Series

Shoot, move, communicate
Slow down, listen, scheme
Link up with friendlies. Apes together strong
Operate in pairs as much as possible
Half of tactics is dirt. Read the ground and use it to provide cover and concealment for your movement
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
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
Binoculars and some scopes can be used to manually estimate range
Learn the medical system
When assaulting remember SOSRA

Pack Light, only carry one weapon, 40 to 45 kg at the most. Anything beyond that and you move way too slow
You only need 10 mags and 3 frags
Pack the map, compass, flashlight, shovel. They all have their uses
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

Vehicles will sometimes be called "vics"
Do not drive into hostile objectives, stop 500 meters out and assault on foot
Do not drive so fast you lose control of the vehicle and kill everyone...
Armed vehicles are normally best used to engage at range, up close they are a deathtrap
When you spawn a new vehicle also get some wrenches and store a full jerrycan of fuel in the trunk. only takes a moment but it gives you options to recover a vehicle in the field
While seated in a vehicle you can use a medkit on yourself

Jan 2026, Don't interact with the arsenal directly. Stand near the arsenal, open your inventory and interact with the arsenal there. For some reason this is less laggy and crashy.

"Create dilemmas, not problems"
General James Mattis USMC

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"

Suppress Use fires (direct/indirect) to pin down enemy personnel and weapons, preventing them from observing or engaging friendly forces.
Obscure Conceal friendly movements and activities using smoke or other means to avoid enemy detection and targeting.
Secure Establish control over the breach point and its surroundings, ensuring the area is safe for the breaching force.
Reduce Physically clear or breach the obstacle (minefields, wire, etc.) using manual, mechanical, or explosive means, marking the safe lane.
Assault Attack the enemy position or far side of the obstacle, seizing the foothold and allowing follow-on forces to pass
