Setups

Where to stand when the tick fires, how to spend $10,000, and when to let the other two teams fight.

Any map · Every 30-second scoring cycle

Players in the Hot Zone count as two and earn double cash. Move bodies into the sub-zone before the bar fills.

Best for: Squads that win gunfights on the edge of the circle and still lose the tick

Any map · First two lives

Buy a kit you can lose twice. Cash persists. Gear does not. The session is the economy, not the first spawn screen.

Best for: New accounts about to spend the $10,000 starter wallet on a fantasy loadout

Bakurani · The five seconds after you win a fight

Clearing Lonestar does not make the apartment safe. Manticore just watched two wallets empty. Check ammo, health, and the third approach.

Best for: Two-team FPS habits after a building clear

Bakurani · A tower loop between ticks

3–5 towers. Each captured terminal yields a digit. Complete the sequence and pull the Hot Zone toward a tower you already own.

Best for: Squads that want the Hot Zone to come to a held tower instead of chasing it

Ozeti · Once the FOB is supplied

Fortify a choke, keep it fed, then spend fuel on a Drill Rig that pulls the Hot Zone into your guns. An empty FOB is loot.

Best for: Organized squads with Support XP and a reason to make the other two teams attack a prepared position

Kolchia Logistics Ring · Each death

Fill a cheap vehicle at the safe zone, dump 150 m short of the blob, repeat. You are the respawn timer.

Best for: Players who keep walking 4 km back and missing every tick
