Arsenal[]

Weapons[]

Render Hydra — *"The Hydra is a large caliber, fully-automatic assault rifle that deals massive damage over long ranges."*

Runway is equipped with an assault rifle and a sniper rifle. The Hydra is the most damaging assault rifle, downing most enemies with four body shots or three headshots. This weapon also has the furthest range in the AR category, reaching up to 22 meters in its base state, then 31 when fully upgraded. Because of its damage and range, this brings it down to be the slowest firing AR.

Render LR15 Fullbody — *"The LR15 Fullbody is a brutal bolt-action sniper rifle."*

The LR15 Fullbody is the most second damaging weapon in the game dealing, 80 damage to the body and 150 to the head. It has a slower fire rate than the Tyr, but it has a longer range, better handling, and a larger mag size. The P12K is tied in second with the Executioner for having the longest range, the third-best handling, and the fastest reload time of any pistol at the base tier.

Abilities[]

Runway's briefcase grants two people on her team (including herself) infinite ammunition and refills their gadgets if they are on cooldown. Though, it's more useful in respawn game modes, whereas having infinite ammunition in single-life game modes is less useful. Having two primary weapons allows Runway to have appropriate weapons in the right situations.

Gadgets[]

Runway is equipped with a smoke grenade as her utility, and a trip mine as her lethal by default. The Trip Mine is mostly placed at corners where enemies are most likely to come from, protecting against enemies that flank through the backlines, or even protect the bombsite or objective. The smoke grenade is best used for cutting off sight lines and covering retreats, it can also be used to displace enemies out of a strong position. Though her focus is more on gun play, Runway can use the Trip Mine to cover her back line and her smoke to either assist a push or cover a retreat.

Perks[]

Runway's perks make her gunplay more effective and her use of utility somewhat more beneficial, but her survivability is at the bare minimum, with her only protection being rare armor. Unless the fight can be handled or the win is guaranteed, Runway should not try and play in the frontline.

Strategy[]

Runway is heavily reliant on her weapons and gadgets, but she still proves to be a useful support Rogue. Refills on ammunition and gadgets make the fight fairly harder for weaker Rogues. When you are playing Runway you should focus on being in the back or defending the objective/bomb site in order to support teammates and snipe enemies.

It is also a good idea to throw the briefcase at the objective/bomb site if it is captured by your team and if not it, it should be put in a place where it is easily accessible to your other teammates. This is good because your teammates can get their gadgets and ammo whenever they need which can be very vital, imagine the objective being attacked and two teammates throw a lethal and can directly resupply their lethal and throw it again because the briefcase is already there ready to use. As Runway, you need to make sure that there is a constant stream of resupplies.

As a Runway it is recommended to purchase legendary energized and rare helping hands to maximize her support capabilities. Legendary energized gives her a 25% shorter cooldown of her briefcase which gives her team a more steady supply of utility and lethals. Her epic helping hands gives her a 30% increased revive speed which is great for her to pick downed teammates up fast.

It is also important to not be selfish with the briefcase when playing Runway by just using it for your own gain. The briefcase has more effect when it is used by multiple people, especially when used by Rogues which can be more aggressive.

Runway is overall a excellent support, being able to pick up her teammates faster with rare helping hands, being able to grant infinite ammo and refill gadgets, she can cover her teammates and put extra pressure on the enemies with her sniper rifle and can cover the flanks or protect the objective/bombsite with her trip mines.

Notable Strengths[]

Great at assisting her allies from a far distance;
Capable of defending the bombsite alone;
fairly versatile.

Notable Weaknesses[]

Very minor survivability;
Gl1tch can be a hard counter;
Very dependent on gadgets and utility.
