Additionally, perks likeTracker and Birdseyehave been included, which are useful for locating Operators on the battlefield, even if they are using Ghost.

Recommended Secondary
Though the Reclaimer 18 Shotgun is a formidable weapon in Core Multiplayer, the downtime between each reload can sometimes be a detriment, even with the inclusion of the Mag Holster. This is where a reliable swap-to-Secondary comes into play, as running such a weapon will keep players covered in situations where they need to reload. Weapons from the Handgun category will prove more than sufficient in this department, with weapons like theWSP StingerandtheRenettistanding out above the rest.
ForWarzoneBattle Royale, however, the Reclaimer 18 is best paired with a full-auto weapon that can either perform well in most scenarios, or an option that performs as a good contender for the long-range meta. Options like theBP50, theMCW, theHolger 26, and thePulemyot 762are all great candidates for this position, along with other alternative considerations liketheMTZ-556.
