jackfrags: practical tips for reloads, movement, helicopters and medics

Season 1 video. The Season 2 wipe on 15 October 2026 changed unlock levels, prices and some damage values. The skills still apply; check the numbers in game.

A dense list of small things that save you money and deaths.

Highlights

• Reloads: tap R to reload normally, hold R for a fast combat reload that drops the magazine. Carry two magazines and loose ammo, and refill them in the inventory.
• Movement: press sprint twice for a tactical sprint. How long it lasts depends on stamina and your weight.
• Camped spawn vehicle: switch to the driver seat, pop smoke and move it. Its radar dish can be shot out with ordinary bullets.
• Zeroing: Page Up and Page Down, ideally together with a rangefinder.
• Spotting pays: a spotted enemy who then dies gives you an assist, and binoculars are cheap.
• Signal smoke colours: yellow alert, red enemies, blue friendlies, orange damaged vehicle.
• Launchers have backblast and it can kill a teammate behind you.
• Re-buy last loadout at the vendor saves time after every death.
