Gridlock siege profile8/12/2023 Try to keep at least one of the spike spillers on hand so you have something to cover the defuser. As for where to put them, just put them where you don’t want the defender’s going, but don’t waste them on a staircase 50 miles away from the objective. Doesn’t matter if the defender uses a suppressor or melees the spikes, they will make that loud noise. If you have one of these things covering you and hear them being destroyed you know somebody’s there and you can watch it and wait for the defender to walk into you. What makes Gridlock great for covering flanks, aside from the spikes slowing and damaging defenders, is the loud and distinct noise they make when they get destroyed. Typically you want to save as many of these for when you plant the defuser, however it can be super useful for covering an annoying flank, like Red Stairs on Kafe. For the sake of brevity I’m going to be referring to the Trax as “spikes”.įirst up, when should you use the spikes. So now that we’ve figured out which guns and gadgets to use on Gridlock, let’s move to the meat of the guide, the strategies. However, there are some strategies I will use breach charges for over smokes, such as breaching above site and throwing spikes down through the floorboards to cover the guy who is planting, however you can do that with your shotgun or have your friendly neighborhood Buck or Sledge open it for you. I touched on this earlier, but you don’t need to bring breach charges because you have a secondary shotgun, and smokes fit her kit way more so run those. The Shorty is great for making holes of any sorts, but be wary of the measly 3 shells it holds.įinally, which secondary gadgets to use. You’re not necessarily bringing the Shorty for kills, but rather for utility, and because you have a secondary shotgun you won’t need to bring Breach Charges and you can run Smokes, which are a big part of her kit. Not because it’s bad, but because the Super Shorty is better in just about every case. For attachments, I recommend the ACOG, Compensator/Flash Hider, and Vertical grip on both the F90 and SAW.įor secondaries, don’t use the SDP. Both of them are good choices, but if you’re brand new to gridlock I’d probably start with the F90. It’s nearly identical to Capitao’s LMG except gridlock has 60 rounds in a mag whereas Cap has 100 and the SAW reloads quicker. What should you use? For primaries, it’s down to personal preference, although most people favor the F90 due to its super easy recoil and higher fire rate, but the SAW isn’t a bad choice either. She comes equipped with the F90 assault rifle and M249 SAW LMG as her primaries, Super Shorty shotgun and SDP 9mm pistol as her secondaries, and Smoke Grenades and Breach Charges as her secondary gadgets. And with that, I think we should move on to the guide. Not saying that Nomad can’t protect the defuser or that gridlock isn’t brought to deal with flanks, but they’re each brought for a different reason. Nomad is good for protecting the defuser, but she’s typically played for covering runouts and flanks whereas gridlock is brought for protecting the defuser. “Why wouldn’t I just play nomad?” You might be asking. Gridlock can make it extremely difficult for the defenders to take a planted defuser due to her spikes and smokes. Gridlock is a very good operator for support players who want to fulfill a unique role on the team of protecting the defuser. Any feedback/criticism is welcome, and feel free to add any tips/strategies of your own. Hey everyone, figured it’d be a great time to make a gridlock guide since I think she’s heavily slept on in ranked and a very good operator while hopefully convincing others to pick her up.
