Tips for Hardpoint

• Learn all hill rotation routes before the match starts. In BO7, hills cycle on a fixed pattern. Knowing where the next hill spawns lets you pre-position with the AK-27 instead of chasing the rotation.
• Pre-aim every hill entrance. The AK-27’s horizontal drift is most noticeable in the first 10 rounds. If you ADS and hold the entrance before enemies enter frame, Crouch Shot and the recoil comp handle the rest — you just click.
• Stay stationary when holding — Move Penalty 50 rewards you for it. The recoil compensation is strongest when the left stick is at rest. Crouch, ADS, and hold. If you must reposition, break off aim before moving.
• Carbon 57 is your aggressive swing tool. When you need to clear the hill interior in a close-range fight, swap to the Carbon 57. Then reposition to your hold angle and go back to AK-27.
• Horizontal Strength 130 handles the left-right bounce — trust it. You may notice your crosshair pulling left on longer bursts. This is the game engine’s aim assist interacting with the comp. Keep spraying — the ARI system self-corrects mid-mag.
• Score objectives, not just kills. Hardpoint wins are decided by hill time. Use your hold position to deny entry while your team captures time, not to maximize personal kill count. 3 kills per rotation beats 6 kills that don’t contest the hill.
