| Pitfall | How to Avoid | |---------|--------------| | Running out of ammo | Reload at the ammo crate early; carry a pistol for emergencies. | | Getting flanked by snipers | Always clear the rooftop before entering the plaza; flashbangs are your friend. | | Getting stunned by the riot‑type’s shield bash | Keep distance; use the flashbang or approach from the side where the shield is weaker. | | Missing the Black Box | Follow the wall to the raised platform; the box’s glow is a bright blue cue. | | Time‑pressure | If you’re aiming for the speed‑run, skip the optional civilian rescue and forego the extra med‑kit. |

| Slot | Suggested Gear (why) | |------|----------------------| | Primary weapon | AK‑74U – good balance of damage, recoil control and mobility for tight alleys. | | Secondary weapon | M1911 with a suppressor – silent takedowns on low‑health enemies. | | Grenade | Flashbang – disorient snipers on the rooftop before you climb. | | Melee | Combat knife – instant kill on stunned foes, saves ammo. | | Perks | 1. Fast Reload – critical for the AK‑74U’s high fire rate.
2. Dead Silence – muffles footsteps, useful for sneaking past the riot‑type guards.
3. Extra Health – gives a buffer against the occasional burst fire. |
