Steps

1. Use the shotgun as your close-range punish weapon. In edit fights and BoxFight pressure, one clean shotgun shot often matters more than spraying wildly.
2. Use the assault rifle for tracking, chip pressure, and punishing exposed players who fail to build cover quickly enough.
3. Use the sniper only when distance and timing justify it. Sniper value drops if you force slow shots in tight build pressure.
4. Keep the pistol as a backup option rather than the center of your plan. It can finish awkward situations, but stronger weapons should define your main fight rhythm.
5. Use the pickaxe strategically for wall pressure. Breaking a wall can create a control moment, but only if you are ready to replace, edit, or punish immediately.
6. Practice weapon switching in FreeBuild and Aim Training. The weapon itself matters less if your swap timing constantly breaks your movement or edit rhythm.

Tips for BuildNow GG

• Shotgun discipline is more important than shotgun excitement.
• The pickaxe is part of pressure, not just a harvesting tool.
• Weapon roles change by mode, so BoxFight and V-Arena should not be played with identical habits.
