MP5 with Holo A, Flash Hider and laser for a controllable SMG, ITA12S with Reflex A and laser as a pocket shotgun backup, and Impact Grenades for rotates and vertical lines.

Expert recommendation

Written and reviewed by hand for this patch. This is an opinion, not a win-rate measurement.

Why it works

Flash Hider keeps the MP5's vertical climb manageable through sustained fire, and Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean for the close fights that happen once her Banshees have already slowed an attacker down. The laser sharpens hip-fire for those close trades. The ITA12S adds real close-range destruction as a backup, with Reflex A and the laser for fast target acquisition.

Who it is best for

Players who want Impact Grenades as the default utility — instant rotates and vertical lines to reposition without walking through the slow-field her own gadget creates.
