Recommended main weapon	Recommended secondary weapon	Gadgets
MP5 - A very stable machine gun that enables you to easily control its recoil. The weapon is especially effective on short and medium distance. MP5 is especially effective against light and medium armored operators. When fighting heavy armored enemies, you will need more accurate shots in the body.	P9 - a good secondary pistol that has 16 bullets in the magazine. It's easier to control this one than Magnum.	Depending on the current needs of your team, you can choose between the deployable shield and impact grenade. The impact grenade is useful when you want to break a surface or cause direct damage to the enemies - it means that in most situations it will be a better choice than the shield.

Rook is a heavily armored, slow Operator that is one of the defenders. His attribute is a bag with additional armor R1N "RHINO". Operators that wear additional armor become more resistant to body shots. What's more, thanks to the additional armor shots that would normally kill the player, now only knock him down. Rook can use a portable barricade that can be used as a cover or as an obstacle that blocks entrances to the room. Because he has a simple to use gadget, Rook is recommended for beginners.

Placing the bag with the armor

The most important and basic task of Rook is to quickly place the bag with the additional armor so that his allies can arm themselves. Remember to place the bag in a safe place so that if someone is late, he or she can use it without risking his or her lives. The bag with armor cannot be moved, so choose its location wisely.

Additional armor doesn't make you immortal

While R1N "RHINO" does improve Operator's resistance to damage, the enemy is still capable of immediately eliminating your operator with a headshot, so play cautiously. What's more, if your operator is knocked down by receiving enough damage, he or she will lose its armor and will have to pick it up again in order to improve the resistance again.

The bag with armor can be destroyed

When Rook will place the bag with R1N "RHINO" armor, the bag can be destroyed by any source of damage. It's a valuable hint for both attackers and defenders. If you see an attacker getting close to the bag (they can use it!), destroy it.
