Sniper positions
SOURCED LOCATIONS ONLYGuide-backed positions will appear here with their source. Until then, this layer stays empty. Tower landmarks and your personal annotations remain available.
Three built-in game maps. Each map keeps its own markers. Observations and proposed mine positions are personal annotations, not verified traffic probabilities.
These are tactical playstyles within the Recon guide, not additional official progression tracks.
Before you deploy.
Observe before committing
Use this page as a flanking playbook, not a requirement to use one progression track. A flanking route can suit several loadouts.
Record what you actually see
Separate an observed vehicle crossing from a guess. A road junction is not automatically a high-traffic route.
Leave yourself an exit
Record a fallback point and coordinate the route with your squad. Revisit annotations when the control zone changes.
Recon is a progression-track name. Flanking is an editorial playstyle that can use other tracks; this page does not redefine the official role.
Take it into the field.
Read the playbook above, then follow a creator walkthrough.
Check the recording's version before copying a build.
