Some of this tips are extremely basic and some of you guys will feel like scolding me for this. But, trolls, this site is for newbies, so shut up.
Pointman [F1]
Also known as "close combat soldier" and are armed with SMGs and shotguns.
Some of you might have this question about pointmen.
"Why use pointman guns? Why dont you just use your rifle at short range? Whats the difference?"
You may notice that SMGs have a low damage and high rate of fire and stability compared to rifles and they are extremely light. This means that SMGs are good for suddenly popping out from behind a wall and killing someone. High stability means you can still shoot as accurately when you're in mid air, which is good for sudden strikes, like a NINJA! The high rate of fire allows you to headshot enemies from close range easily while jumping around, making it impossible to kill you with a sniper or most riflemen.
PROS: High rate of fire and stability, turning you into a head slaying NINJA. Some have high bullet capacity too, like the P90 and BIZON. Low recoil means you can spam alot.
CONS: Low damage, low range and low accuracy. This guns usually hurts like a pistol at 10M or more.
Rifleman [F2]
"Pillar of the team" Sounds weird but thats what its known as.
This is probably the most useful and important class in A.V.A.
If you're new to AVA and you're not sure where to start with, try buying a rifle. Choose the rifle of your choice from my page, "Rifle Man Weapons Guide". Don't start with buying a sniper, it will not work well for you to get used to the game, and it gets boring in a while.
Anyway....
There's alot of varieties of rifles, from overpowered rifles, to spammer rifles.
Choose the best rifle you probably can, not cheap ones. I personally like the FN-F2000 and the M4A1 because of their low recoil and high accuracy. You might want the AK47 because of its high damage. Its your choice.
PROS: Great at mid range, kills easily if you meet up with another pointman or rifleman at mid range. Pierces armor, which means its great for headshots.
CONS: Not accurate and "rangeful" enough for taking out snipers from more than 30M or more and not stable and fast enough for taking out pointmen from close range.
Sniper [F3]
Im not sure what its known as... Maybe "Far range maniac" or "Shotgun slayer". Anyway its a class that requires skills. Special skills.
Some newbies start the game by buying a sniper. Maybe they know that they're skillful enough, or maybe they'll want to just give it a try. Well, i'll say that something VERY WRONG to do. Why? AVA is a game that keeps realism as priority. So, when you enter the shop, you'll see a few snipers. Most players will only look at the DAMAGE bar. And what they will see is that most snipers have 95-100 DAMAGE. So they'll just choose the one with the highest one, the TPG1 or the DSR1 which both have full damage. But they usually regret, because when they loot the FRF2 with only 95 damage, they get more kills than the TPG or DSR. Thats because of the high piercing ability of the FRF2. The piercing ability is not stated in the shop, which means you can only try it yourself to feel it pierce your enemy's armor and flesh.
So the thing you should do is: Equip your M24, join a "SNIPER GALLERY" room and start looting.
There are a few tips for snipers, here:
1. If you're using a single shot sniper (EG: FRF2,DSR1,TPG1) after every shot, tap "E" ONCE. Why? Most single shot snipers have high damage. If an enemy managed to sustain you sniper hit, he will have less than 10% of HP left. Tapping "E" once will swap your sidearm, so, just in case, your enemy survives your shot, you'll get to kill him with your sidearm.
2.If you're using a sniper with single reload system, (EG: Kar98K, MOSIN NAGANT, works with shotguns too) If you're reloading when you meet up with an enemy, right click to stop your reload half way and you can start shooting.
