Criteria For Recommendations:

Weapons For Close Quarters

You'll be constantly transitioning between close-quarters offense & defense in Headquarters mode. How well you do during close encounters will determine your success, so weapons must be able to reflect this.

Can Maintain Mobility

Headquarters will have the player constantly running towards new target headquarters, as well as assaulting enemy captured headquarters after respawn. Having good mobility lets you get in the fray faster and make kills.

Easy To Obtain

A weapon that's locked behind many hoops and loops may be difficult to obtain and is impractical as recommendations, so a weapon's attainability is considered in the assessment.

Lethals For Close Quarters & Defense

Headquarters will require players to constantly assault & defend in enclosed spaces. Close quarters battles are inevitable, where explosives & throwing knife can be highly effective.

Insta-Kill With Throwing Knife

Throwing Knife is a insta-kill if it lands a target infantry. In close quarters, it can kill opponents faster than a gun.

Defend Better With Claymore or C4

The Ghost perk hides the death markers of your kills. As death markers are a big giveaway to your presence & position, this skill can be helpful especially when defending.

Figure Out Enemy Positions With Tracker

Tracker perk lets you see the tracks of enemies, giving you some idea of what's around the corner. As defenders in headquarters usually don't move around much, Tracker perk can give you good info on how many players are in the building.

Double Your Options With Shrapnel Perk

Shrapnel Perk lets you spawn with an extra piece of lethal equipment, giving you more options for defense tactics. 2 Claymores, or 2 C4s can greatly help in the defense of headquarters.

Headquarters Tips

Respawn Cancelled When Defending Headquarters

When you're team is defensing the headquarters, respawn are temporarily suspended for your team. Don't be rash when you're defending!

Don't Pile up In One Room

Don't pile up in one room when you're defending as 1 grenade could ruin your defense. Spread out to cover key entry pint and hallways, and rush to assist choke points under attack.

Use Deployable Cover For Makeshift Wall

The Deployable Cover field upgrade can be a good addition for Headquarters because it lets you create obstacles on the fly. You can turn a hallway into a bunker, denying entry for quite some time.

Attack Headquarters From Multiple Directions

The defenders will mostly be inside the headquarters. Strike at them from multiple directions to disrupt their attention, letting your teammates clear entire rooms from their blind side.
