Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important rule during a shootout?

The most critical rule in a shootout is to immediately find effective cover. This means seeking protection behind objects that can stop bullets, not just hide you from view. Prioritizing cover significantly increases your chances of survival.

Are car doors good cover during a shootout?

No, car doors are generally considered poor cover during a shootout. While they offer concealment, they are typically made of thin metal and plastic that bullets can easily penetrate. Relying on a car door for protection is a dangerous mistake.

What's the difference between cover and concealment?

Concealment hides you from view but doesn't stop bullets, like a car door or bushes. Cover, on the other hand, is something substantial that can actually stop or deflect incoming rounds, such as thick concrete walls or large rocks.
