>>6145349I also have a personal theory (just from playing a lot of Arena Breakout extraction shooters lol, but even just PUBG) that any firearms driven urban warfare rpg should be heavily focused around evasion. Basically avoiding contact and hiding. Not sure how to capture this in a ttrpg style game...? What Arena Breakout taught me is that you basically cannot get into any gunfights and live. (Typical rig is maybe 3-4 mags? You basically cannot sustain a firefight, the moment you shoot you alert an entire map worth of squads hunting you converging onto your position, immediately after a firefight you need to retreat and hide probably heal and repack all your bullets into magazines, eat food / rehydrate take combat drugs lol and also repack / rearrange all the loot inventory ammunition in your backpack, you simply cannot nonstop do this whilst being ambushed and attacked by rival squads of operators). It is best to plan ahead and envision some secure fallback zone or hide site for this logistical stuff, instead of squatting upon the loot corpse of a recent battle in plain sight of everyone (by definition, the corpse will be situated in some fatal exposed position visible to everyone, every line of sight, that is why the corpse is dead lol) The most skilled teams don't even immediately try to kill you they setup at some chokepoint with map knowledge of where they anticipate you traversing and kill you only after you cleared and looted a location on their behalf lol nooooo. I played all ranked raids in Arena Breakout solo on my own I got to Ace entirely by avoiding all gunfights as much as possible, killing one human opponent operator for precious rank points and then exfiltrating and fleeing immediately like a coward lol.
After coward grinding one season to Ace rank I stopped playing the game ranked matches genuinely too stressful I have post traumatic stress disorder trembling just thinking about it lol
Pic related is me in tryhard mode, I use the FAL despite the uncontrollable recoil and expensive 7.62x51 ammo because it is the only thing that reliably pierces the high tier armours hehe
