With his special gadget, the RCE-Ratero Charge, Flores can be a real menace to deal with for the defenders. That’s because she has four RCE-Ratero Charges, and each of them are basically drones that can explode on his command. Worse, their explosion power is very similar to that of a nitro cell.

This makes Flores one of the best utility disablers in the game, because he can do it with enough power as well as precision. But the RCE-Ratero Charges aren’t the only reason why Flores is so powerful of an operator. The arsenal of weapons and utilities available to him makes him one of the most dangerous operators to deal with even without his special gadget.

5. SR-25 with Telescopic B scope, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip + GSH-18 with Muzzle Brake and Laser + Claymore

A lot of players who are picking Flores will probably get intimidated to use the SR-25 marksman rifle as their primary weapon. That’s obviously because it’s harder to use than the alternative, which is the fully automatic AR33. The SR-25 is a single-shot weapon and as a designated marksman rifle, could be hard to use in close quarters combat. However, when used properly by those who are used to using marksman rifles in close range, the rewards could be great, so I encourage Flores players to not sleep on the SR-25.

For this loadout setup, the player would run the marksman rifle with a suppressor on its barrel and a vertical grip. Shots from the SR-25 in this loadout setup won’t provide enemies with a directional threat indicator of where the shots are coming from. The suppressor will also hide the weapon’s muzzle flash as well as greatly muffle its gunshot sounds, making it even harder for enemies to immediately know where Flores is shooting from. And since the suppressor doesn’t provide additional recoil control, it’s important to partner it with a vertical grip to ensure that Flores will have good control over the SR-25's weapon kick.

Excels in:

• The suppressor removing the SR-25's muzzle flash and directional threat indicator will make it harder for enemies to immediately know where Flores’ shots are coming from visually
• The suppressor on Flores’ SR-25's barrel will also greatly muffle its gunshot sounds, making it even harder for enemies to know where his shots are coming from through the game’s audio
• The vertical grip on Flores’ SR-25 will allow him to maintain good recoil control on the weapon as it specializes in reducing the overall vertical recoil of weapons it’s compatible with
• The muzzle brake on the GSH-18 handgun will provide a lot of recoil control on it, making its weapon kick very easy to control, and the laser will provide Flores with a +10% aim-down-sight speed boost
• Flores having two claymores as his secondary gadget will allow him to protect himself from run outs and roamers while he’s controlling his RCE-Ratero Charges through his observation tool

Build Details:

• Primary weapon - SR-25 with Telescopic B scope, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip
• Secondary weapon - GSH-18 with Muzzle Brake and Laser
• Generic gadget - Claymore

4. SR-25 with Telescopic B scope, Muzzle Brake, Horizontal Grip, and Laser + GSH-18 with suppressor and Laser + Claymore

While the stealth benefits from the suppressor barrel attachment is great to have, certain operators like Flores can benefit from attachments that provide other benefits. Besides, because of the nature of Flores’ gameplay of sending his RCE-Ratero Charges into the objective spot to destroy enemy gadgets, it can be quite easy to predict the direction where Flores is coming. That’s why this setup on the SR-25 ranks higher than the one above, because it’ll be taking advantage of the benefits that other kind of attachments bring.

The horizontal grip, the newest attachment in Siege, provides a great perk for Flores, and that’s a +5% movement speed boost. That plays a huge part in Flores’ gameplay because it helps him cover more ground faster and catch up to his teammates for a push after controlling his RCE-Ratero Charges. It’ll also help him engage an enemy that he’s detected through one of his RCE-Ratero Charges faster, be it for fragging or escaping them. And since the horizontal grip doesn’t add more recoil control on weapons, it’s important to partner it with one that does, and that would be the muzzle brake in this setup.

Excels in:

• The muzzle brake barrel attachment specializes in greatly lowering the first shot recoil of weapons, so it’s great to have for single-shot weapons like Flores’ SR-25 designated marksman rifle
• The horizontal grip with its +5% movement speed bonus will allow Flores to catch up with his teammates and respond to enemies faster after controlling his RCE-Ratero Charges
• The laser on Flores’ SR-25 marksman rifle will provide him with a +10% aim-down-sight speed bonus which will be great for sudden enemy engagements especially after coming out of the observation tool
• The suppressed GSH-18 handgun will allow Flores to disable enemy gadgets like CCTV cameras and traps with much less chance of giving away his current position to enemies
• The two claymores in Flores’ arsenal will allow him to have protection against roamers and defenders who will try to run out to take him out while he’s controlling his RCE-Ratero Charges

Build Details:

• Primary weapon - SR-25 with Telescopic B scope, Muzzle Brake, Horizontal Grip, and Laser
• Secondary weapon - GSH-18 with suppressor and Laser
• Generic gadget - Claymore

3. AR33 with Magnified B scope, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip + GSH-18 with Muzzle Brake and Laser + Stun Grenade 

As mentioned before, most Flores players would go for the AR33 assault rifle for their primary weapon. Fully automatic weapons like it are just more convenient to use in most situations and they’re more customizable when it comes to attachments. For this loadout setup, the Flores player would be running with a basic, but very effective mix of attachments. The suppressor on the barrel of the AR33 assault rifle will provide Flores with great stealth benefits that’ll increase both his offensive and defensive capabilities.

The suppressor greatly muffles the gunshot sounds of the AR33 and removing its directional threat indicator is great for offense because when an opponent doesn’t know where the shots are coming from, it could prevent them from being able to protect themselves effectively. Similarly, it’s great defensively because when an opponent doesn’t know where Flores’ shots are coming from, they wouldn’t be able to counter fire immediately and effectively. 

Excels in:

• The suppressor on the AR33’s barrel will allow Flores to shoot his enemies without providing them a directional threat indicator and muzzle flash that would have told them where his shots are coming from
• The vertical grip attachment on Flores’ AR33 assault rifle will allow him to maintain a good amount of recoil control on the weapon even in long sprays as it will greatly reduce its overall vertical recoil
• The suppressor on Flores’ AR33 assault rifle’s barrel will also greatly muffle its gunshot sounds, making it even harder for enemies to know where Flores is shooting from.
• The GSH-18 handgun as Flores’ secondary weapon will have great recoil control because of the muzzle brake barrel attachment and a +10% aim-down-sight speed boost due to the laser
• The three stun grenades will be great utilities for pushing the objective spot as Flores can lead with them after he’s destroyed a lot of the defender utilities with his RCE-Ratero Charges

Build Details:

• Primary weapon - AR33 with Magnified B scope, Suppressor, and Vertical Grip
• Secondary weapon - GSH-18 with Muzzle Brake and Laser
• Generic gadget - Stun Grenade

2. AR33 with Magnified B scope, Compensator, and Angled Grip + GSH-18 with suppressor and Laser + Stun Grenade

The AR33’s recoil diamonds start becoming bigger after the fourth shot, and bigger recoil diamonds mean that there would be a higher tendency for horizontal and random recoil from all directions. Generally, horizontal recoil is harder to control because it feels rougher, so having a low horizontal and random recoil from all directions on your weapon generally results in a more stably firing experience. The good thing is, there’s a barrel attachment that specially in reducing the recoil diamond size of weapons, and that’s the compensator.

With the compensator on the barrel of the AR333, its tendency for horizontal and random recoil from all directions will be a lot lesser, so the user will mostly only have to worry about holding down the weapon’s vertical recoil, which is easier to control. As for the angled grip attachment, it’ll provide Flores with a +20% reload speed bonus which is a great perk to have in most cases, but especially when engaging multiple enemies at the same time, as it’ll allow him to get back into action with his AR33 quicker than normal.

Excels in:

• The compensator on the barrel of Flores’ AR33 assault rifle will greatly reduce the weapon’s tendency for horizontal and random recoil from all directions, resulting in a more stable firing experience.
• The angled grip on Flores’ AR33 assault rifle will provide him with a +20% reload speed boost which is a great perk to have when he’s engaging multiple enemies at the same time though it works well in most situations as well
• The magnified B scope with its 2.5x zoom level will allow Flores to see his targets very clearly when aiming-down-sight on his AR33 assault rifle and that usually translates to much better accuracy
• The suppressed GSH-18 handgun will allow Flores to shoot CCTV cameras and other enemy gadgets with much less chance of alerting enemies to his presence as the gun will have muffled gunshot sounds
• The three stun grenades as Flores’ secondary gadget will be great for pushing the objective spot after using his RCE-Ratero Charges as they can blind and deafen enemies behind their hiding spots

Build Details:

• Primary weapon - AR33 with Magnified B scope, Compensator, and Angled Grip
• Secondary weapon - GSH-18 with suppressor and Laser
• Generic gadget - Stun Grenade

Recoil pattern test on the AR33 in this setup with the author’s own recoil control applied:

1. AR33 with Magnified B scope, Flash Hider, and Horizontal Grip + GSH-18 with suppressor and Laser + Claymore

As mentioned before, the horizontal grip provides a +5% movement speed bonus to the operator who’s holding the weapon it’s attached to. That plays a huge role in Flores’ gameplay because it involves him having to sit around for quite a long time in order to control his RCE-Ratero Charges. With a +5% movement speed boost, he’ll be able to make up on the time he’s lost while he’s doing that, and he’ll be able to catch up to his teammates and respond to enemy engagements faster.

The horizontal grip will also increase Flores’ survivability while he’s moving because the faster an operator is moving, the harder it is going to be to hit them. Just think about it, even before the existence of the horizontal grip, Siege operators, even the ones with 2 or 1 speed ratings, can be hard to hit when they’re moving. So adding a 5% movement speed to that is actually a huge boost, even though it doesn’t sound like that on paper. And since the horizontal grip doesn’t provide additional recoil control. It would be great to partner it with a flash hider that will lower the AR33’s overall vertical recoil.

Excels in:

• The AR33 with a flash hider on its barrel will have a good amount of recoil control because the flash hider will lower its overall vertical weapon kick which will give Flores a stable shooting experience
• The horizontal grip on Flores’ AR33 assault rifle will provide him with a +5% movement speed bonus which will allow him to catch up to his teammates and respond to enemies faster after controlling his RCE-Ratero Charges
• The 2.5x zoom level from the magnified B scope on Flores’ AR33 assault rifle will allow him to target his opponents with great accuracy. It’ll also have an arrow tip reticle for pinpoint shooting.
• The suppressed GSH-18 handgun as Flores’ secondary weapon will be a great utility for him when it comes to disabling enemy gadgets silently as well as for finishing off enemies when the AR33 needs to be reloaded in the middle of combat
• Flores having the capability to defend himself while he’s using his observation tool to control his RCE-Ratero Charges, through the two claymores in his arsenal which are great for countering run outs and roamers

Build Details:

• Primary weapon - AR33 with Magnified B scope, Flash Hider, and Horizontal Grip
• Secondary weapon - GSH-18 with suppressor and Laser
• Generic gadget - Claymore
