How to Play

This loadout for the Basilisk prioritizes aiming stability and damage output by slighlty decreasing the fire rate. Suitable for any game mode, the Basilisk proves to be a solid choice for a secondary weapon as it eliminates enemies in 1-2 bullets from mid range and 2-3 bullets from farther distances.

When engaging enemies from point blank range, it is better to hip fire rather than ADS as the Basilisk is capable of eliminating enemies with 1 bullet at close range. This loadout also increases the sprint to aim speed so going for aggressive plays will be more rewarding.

Equipping the Fast Hands bonus perk counters the slow reload speed of the Basilisk. It is also recommended to have two tactical equipments ready to fend off enemy players pushing you while in buildings or rooms. While the enemies are stunned, you can then go in for the free kill.
