The Best Ways to Use the Phantom

The Phantom is a very flexible and balanced weapon. It excels in a variety of situations and will usually allow you to get away without any issues. It’s best used in close to medium-range battles where its fast fire rate shines the brightest. In these situations, you can spray in bursts and then reset your aim.

In long-range fights, you’re better off firing in slow and controlled bursts. This can be done to help with recoil control and be more accurate.

The Phantom is also an excellent weapon for spamming through smoke or through walls. This is because of its high fire rate, high magazine capacity, and silenced shots. So take aim and spray away.
