Bonus tip for countering the incoming new operator, Osa, at the end of the article.

By just comparing their pick rate, it is evident that most players still prefer Jager for countering projectiles, but there are many areas where Wamai does better. His Mag-NET doesn’t just protect the area from projectiles, it can also make enemies commit tactical mistakes when their grenades are being pulled back towards them. And I’m gonna tell you this. Pick Wamai instead of Jager when there is no one else in your team that can make rotation holes. His impact grenades are one of Wamai’s advantages over Jager, and because of that, I predict that players will give Wamai more love next season.

5. AUG A2 with Red Dot and Suppressor + Keratos .357 with Muzzle Brake + Impact Grenades

Keratos .357 without a suppressor has 78 damage. Let that sink in.

I love suppressors. They’re great. Not only do they hide the directional threat indicator that your enemies receive while you’re shooting at them, and the muzzle flash, but they also do what they do best, which is to silence weapons, and a lot of players overlook this fact, but their weapons being noisy as hell, allows other enemies to sneak behind them.

But this loadout’s strength is also its weakness, and that is why it’s #5. The suppressor makes the AUG A2 a lot longer, and that can be a problem when roaming because the tip of your gun can be seen by your enemies first when you’re entering doorways, especially when you’re in ADS position. And in Siege, who reacts first usually wins. So, take care to use this loadout more for anchoring.

Anchoring
Stealth
Close to medium range

4. MP5K with 1.5x Scope and Compensator + P12 with Suppressor + Impact Grenades

The MP5K may have lower damage than the AUG A2. But it has a better scope.

This is a well-balanced loadout that can be used effectively for any range, and for anchoring, roaming, as well as spawn peeking. For roaming, always reserve at least one impact grenade and destroy drones with your suppressed handgun. Since you’re not using a suppressor on your primary in favor of better recoil benefit, you’d want to incorporate a hit-and-run tactic when roaming, and that is when you’d find your impact grenade extremely useful. With it, you can create escape or rotation holes to run from your enemies, or to quickly flank them.

Versatility
Any range

3. AUG A2 with Holographic and Flash Hider + P12 with Suppressor + Impact Grenades

Nighthaven weapons’ default skin screams PMC, and that is just badass.

When it comes to making quick kills with flick shots, the holographic sight will give you more sense of control. Paired with a flash hider, and the AUG A2 with its high damage and low recoil is perfect for roaming. But make sure to put most, if not all, of your Mag-Nets around the objective area before you go roaming.

Excels in:

Close to medium range
Roaming
Flick shots

2. MP5K with 1.5x Scope and Suppressor + P12 with Muzzle Brake + Impact Grenades

Damage reduction from suppressors doesn’t really matter if you just hit them in the head

The 1.5x scope is great for close to medium range encounters. Experienced players can also use it effectively for spawn peeking from long range. It makes the MP5K a well-rounded primary weapon that can be used in any range and any style of gameplay.

When it comes to the MP5K, the suppressor’s damage reduction is only 5. There’s also not much difference between its recoil with a suppressor and a compensator. The benefits, in this case, just have more weight than the drawbacks. With the suppressor, you hide your muzzle flash, as well as the directional threat indicator of your shots, which is very valuable in Siege, especially against players with great reaction time.

Excels in:

Any range
Versatility
Stealth

1. AUG A2 with Red Dot and Compensator + Keratos .357 with Suppressor + Impact Grenades

Yes, I’m fully aware that I totally ignored the proximity alarm. But trust me, impact grenades are much more useful in any situation, especially in the coming of Osa.

The MP5K is a really good primary because of the availability of the 1.5x scope, but for this author, AUG A2 still takes the cake because of its higher damage and slightly better recoil. The red dot, partnered with good cursor placement, is great for headshots. The suppressor on the Keratos .357 is for destroying drones while minimizing the chance of enemies knowing your exact position.

As mentioned in the image caption, the impact grenade is just an overall more useful item than the proximity alarm. With it, you can make rotation holes, especially on certain areas where one or two rotation holes aren’t enough. But with Operation Crystal Guard, make it a point to reserve one impact grenade for Osa. It’s the best counter for her clear shield. One impact grenade can instantly break her shield and then you’re free to frag her. Perfect for Osa users who think they’re perfectly safe behind her shield.
