FAQ
Should I take every Override console in ranked?
+
No. Loot first. Take heals / overshield / stamina. Skip the funny ones.
How do I practice endgame?
+
Zone Wars and real BR. Reload will not teach moving zones.
If your rank dropped after August 20, check your drop and your console habit before you buy a new mouse.
