ALDA 5.56 with Holo A, Compensator and laser for an LMG that rewards controlling the vertical climb yourself, Bailiff 410 with laser as a backup, and Barbed Wire as the default utility.

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

Compensator is the pick when you already keep the ALDA 5.56 controlled vertically and horizontal drift is what actually costs you through a long burst — it rewards that control while Maestro holds an angle behind his Evil Eye cameras. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser sharpens hip-fire for closer trades. The Bailiff 410 carries the same laser as a consistent backup.

Who it is best for

Players who want Barbed Wire as the default utility — it slows an approach to the angle his cameras are already watching, giving him time to react before someone reaches his position.

Primary weapon

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

Reduces horizontal recoil drift. Rewards players who already control vertical climb.

Reduces vertical recoil. The default pick for sustained fire.

Secondary weapon

Handgun

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

Leaves the slot empty. Rarely correct when a barrel is available.

Grip

Not available

Gadget

Slows and announces attackers moving through a choke point.
