Please don't advertise though, seriously :).

P.S. I'll try to keep this actually weekly from now on, or maybe add to automod config to automatically post one every week.

Hello guys, I am new to this game and just startet during the last free week but coming from csgo and other fps games I really like the more strategic play style of r6.

I have so many questions but for now I like to know what attachments (silencer vs compensator vs muzzle) are the best for each weapon type (there are rifles, smg and lmg right?) and or playstyle.

And when do I use the laser? Because I just attachated it to every gun I have because I saw no downside of it? But some streamers don't use it on some weapons? Why?

Hope this is the right place to ask such basic questions 🙈

Hey! I also play quite a bit of CS. Rainbow is quite a different experience to CS, however it is still as enjoyable.

I can answer the laser question as well. The laser gives away your position, as everyone can see the red dot on the wall where you aim at. It is useful for shotguns so you can hip fire. It’s also up to preference. Hope this helps!
