Weapon Priority Order
1
Morphite Hammer AR or Collateral Damage AR
Primary mid-range weapon - reliable DPS for the majority of engagements. Grab this first every drop.
2
Morphite Sentinel Shotgun or Gatekeeper Shotgun
Close-range pairing for your AR. Shotgun is essential for building fights and close pushes.
3
Rapid Fire SMG or Red Eye SMG
Mobility and spray option for fast-paced engagements and finishing low-health opponents.
4
Combat Pistol or Morphite Mammoth Pistol
Reliable sidearm that covers medium range when you're conserving AR ammo.
5
Heavy Impact Sniper or Wrecker Revolver
Optional long-range slot if your playstyle favors distance and pickoffs.

Progressive Reboot Loadouts
Biggest Change in v41.00
Rebooted players now receive scaled loadouts based on storm phase instead of weak defaults. This completely changes how you play around teammate deaths - mid and late reboots are actually strong.
| Storm Phase | Reboot Loadout |
|---|---|
| Early circles | Common Assault Rifle only - minimal gear, play safe |
| Mid-game | Morphite Heavy AR + Morphite SMG + 1 Mini Shield Pot - strong enough to fight |
| Late-game | Morphite AR + Tactical Shotgun + 1 Mini Shield Pot + 2 Chug Splash - competitive gear |
How to Use This
If a teammate dies early, your squad plays safer until a better reboot phase arrives. Mid and late game reboots give real guns - push aggressively after teammates come back at those phases.
New Mechanics to Know
Fall Damage Forgiveness
Lethal falls now drop you to 1 HP + no shields instead of death in Zero Build. Take riskier high-ground plays and rotations.
Bus ADS
Aim down sights on the Battle Bus to mark POIs for your squad right away. Drop-spotting is now more precise.
Faster Drop + Glider
Drop speed is faster this update. Land hot if you want to - the fall forgiveness gives you more margin on aggressive drops.
Key Decision Points
Early Game
Loot heavy, avoid unnecessary fights. Early reboot gear is weak (Common AR only) - a dead teammate early hurts your squad.
Mid/Late Game
Be more aggressive. Rebooted teammates return with actual weapons - coordinate pushes around reboot timing.
Mobility Without Slap
Slap Juice is gone. Stock heals instead and use the fall forgiveness mechanic for vertical plays rather than Slap-spam rotations.
Loadout Balance
Always hold: AR + Shotgun + SMG/Pistol + heals. Don't skip healing items now that Slap items are gone from the pool.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring Morphite weapons - players defaulting to old favorites may find their preferred guns vaulted. Morphite weapons are the new meta, learn them now.
- Dying early repeatedly - early-phase reboots give almost nothing. Survive to mid-game where your team comes back with real gear.
- Hunting for Slap items - they're completely gone. Players wasting time looking for Slap Juice or Slap Splash are wasting storm time.
- Skipping healing items - the main mobility consumables are vaulted. Run at least 2-3 healing slots every match.
