Lastly, we select Quick Fix as the ultimate perk. Scoring kills instantly triggers health regeneration while capturing and controlling an objective increases the rate of regeneration.

Equipment

• Frag grenade (Lethal)
• Flash grenade (Tactical)

It's tricky to go wrong with the trusty combination of a frag and flash grenade. Cook the frag to perfection for some additional damage and if it doesn't kill them, follow up with a flash to stop them from getting away.
