[@eNVy_SiNz]

You glossed over the flashlight attachment too quickly. This has become my favorite attachment in Cold War. It doesn't just reveal enemy nameplates, it places a big red dot over the enemy's head! This is perfect for the head glitches and low visibility maps. Even if an enemy is hiding in a bush in Cartel, you'll see a big red dot over the bush and you can light them up with ease. The first flashlight (+20% reveal distance) only reveals the red dot from a hip fire range. The ADS flashlight reveals enemies from basically anywhere on these small maps. It's a must have attachment on Cartel & Miami.

[@angelnajera5107]

Thanx for this! I didn't realize how good it was, especially in Cartel.

[@yovannydominguez2860]

@@seth_owens I graduated with an Accounting degree and worked my way into that position. I have learned that most financial analyst positions are filled with internal personnel through inside the company. In other words, people were doing accounting first and then the role became open for them. It is difficult to get hired as a financial analyst if you do not have the experience, and the only way you get that experience is through small projects that the company gives you while you're an accountant. That has been my road al teast. The job is great if you REALLY like looking at spreadsheets for 10 hours a day. If you're doing it for the money, you will be miserable. If you're in college, look into "predictive analytics classes" as well as algorithm coding while obtaining your bachelor's in business administration. Hope this helps.

[@kyle6112]

I think its good counter to dropshotting, as long as youre not shooting at the other person you can easily hide behind cover, and if you do want to dropshot it takes up an attachment slot so youre losing out on other potential benefits
