Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Ignoring Engineer Crates
Engineer Crates are your biggest advantage. Don't ignore them! Early game, prioritize finding Engineer Crates for superior loot. This gear advantage can carry you to late game.
❌ Wasting Power Fix
Power Fix has a long cooldown - don't waste it on minor repairs. Save it for emergency combat repairs or when you need to quickly restore a heavily damaged vehicle under fire.
❌ Repairing in Open
Repairing makes you vulnerable. Always use smoke grenades or natural cover. Even with Mechanized Infantry, you can still be killed by focused fire. Repair from passenger seat when possible.
❌ Poor SMG Usage
Engineer's SMG has superior hip-fire control - use it! Don't always ADS at close range. Hip-fire while moving for better mobility in close combat situations.
