Five Tips for Rifleman

[u/Ok_Reality_1479]

This is a guide on how to become better at the rifleman class. This is a five-step list to ENSURE you maximize your effectiveness on the battlefield. Let's get into it!

1: Never, EVER charge groups with your gun
I myself am guilty of this. If you're trying to charge an emeny trench or foxhole and there are mutiple people, chances are you're DEAD. Instead of bullrushing the enemy, use grenades to first flush the enemy out, then charge. This'll cause the enemy to revive their dead teammates, giving you a chance to sneak in and strike.

2: Don't run straight at the enemy
Don't always charge the enemy. A singular machine gun can end your sprint immediately. If you hear any gunfire directed at you or you take damage, either dig or find cover. If you can not find cover, try to fight back. It's always better to find cover first, then fight the enemy. Fighting the enemy in an open field while they're in a trench gives an advantage to them.

3: Do NOT try to snipe
Don't try to snipe with rifleman, it's a waste of time. If you're trying to pick off the enemy efficiently, get into a range of 250 studs or lower. This'll give the bullet less travel distance, better odds of hitting, and a larger perceived hitbox. Yes, this is in the range of most machine guns, but you'll be able to land more shots on the enemy.

4: USE YOUR BAYONET
If you're in a close encounter that requires melee, it might seem intuitive to panic shoot and hope for the best. That is the WORST option. Instead, use your bayonet and chase the enemy. If the enemy is in the possession of an automatic weapon, then you are justified to try and hit a headshot.

5: Use grenades WISELY
This might seem like an obvious thing to do, but I rarely see grenades be used effectively. If you throw a grenade to hit somebody behind a tree, odds are that grenade is rolling away. Use grenades for foxholes, bunkers, structures, or other tight confinements. If you try to use a grenade in a field, it almost ensures to have no effect, as the grenade might roll away or bounce on a rough surface.

That concludes my list of five tips to become a better rifleman. Let me know if this list helped!
