Question: why would you hit multiple people besides just focusing on one, wouldn't focusing on one guy bring them down quicker because you're focusing all of your firepower on one person??
(i'm used to raiding like that. i'm just wondering if shooting at multiple targets makes a difference because if it's effective. )
I'm not sure if you are referring to something particular in this guide. But sometimes you are able to target more than one guy and keep them suppressed at the same time (I'm not talking about adjacent survivors). That way you can reduce the number of people shooting back at you.
Other than that, I mostly fire on one guy with all my people, like you said.
And Quadro: Awesome post
Just wow Quadro, an amazingly detailed post. I got some observations that you might find useful to add, just trying to help.
*Part 1*
Melee weapon taken is crafted slicing sword, upgraded to lvl50 but really this is not important, these swords are for my auto-missions, raiding could be done with pretty much any melee.
Nevertheless, at lower lvls, melee is required for sure if the flag is surrounded by barricades.
3. Walk through compound...As in this kind of attack you are less likely to engage in full front shootout but need lots of grenades, the gear of choice here is harness giving you +2 to carry limit (or infamous swiftdraws that grant same bonus).
3. Walk through compound...You'll also need one melee to rip through compound doors - they are extremely durable to nade or shoot down.
II. Pillow Forts
...There are two main ways to raid pillow fort - "angle and nade" and "ninja snatch"
...One big difference from one side wonder though - if corner defense is built right, you can't attack it from within compound building, so you have one less strategy to use.

7) When using the brute force tactic, I sometimes end up with 3-5 defenders left and only 1-2 minutes left on the timer. Focusing fire on only one defender doesn't go fast enough for me then, since it's always the toughest defenders that are left. So I use the tactic 'Simultaneous suppression'. I firstly focus fire on one defender (that might have 1 or 2 other defenders next to him). They all get suppressed, I keep suppression with one attacker (e.g. equipped with M60+reload gear) and focus fire with remaining 4 attackers on another defender (also with maybe 1 or 2 defenders next to him). Once they're all suppressed I keep 2 attackers to keep those defenders suppressed. I then move to the last defender and I suppress him with the 2 remaining attackers. When all attackers are suppressed, I come closer with one attacker out of one of the two last 'groups' (so at least 1 attacker keeps suppressing every defender) and kill all when they're in effective range.

Well, generally you don't, you just focus on one until he's dead and then switch to another.
There are some scenarios as pointed by others already when you'll be hitting several targets at once. One of most usual cases of that is when you have two last survivors or two close groups of two. You then will suppress one group and leave one of survivors shooting at them to maintain suppression while rest of your team switches to suppress second group. Once that is done you'd have one of your guys run up close and quickly finish them off.
But this is a special case, generally you concentrate fire on single defender.

Thanks NE, I'll put some of this in the text later today or tomorrow.
Just a note though - when writing it I had a rule for myself - if I can't (or don't want to) explain in detail on how to do certain things, I won't put them in In the end it's a starter's guide, not advanced tactics manual
*Gives off a respectful whistle*
Could I add this to the UCM post too? I also figure I'll read through with this if I decide to be a raider again.
Sure
*Dramatic evil laughter*
Mwhahaha... Hahahahhaha! Soon I shall create a race of super raiders! They shall wipe out the banditry of the dead zone through their superior tactical reasoning and their impressive arsenals! Soon they will rise! Soon the Federal Military will take the glory!
*More dramatic evil laughter*
So i have a question.
Of all of these defense layouts, which one would be the best one to use as my defense? I'm level 50 and have a wide variety of uni armor and uni 107s at my disposal, just not a very decent defense.
There's no universal answer to that. One side wonders, corner defense and spawn traps are decent layouts at high levels, each has examples that are very tough to beat.
And there are very few examples of unbeatable defenses.
Generally good advice is keep adjusting your defense till you yourself can't beat it in practice mode. Then, once you got successfully raided, try to study the report and understand how attacker did it and adjust again.
Alright, thank you!!!
very helpful guide!

Again Quadro, awesome post, these are just some thoughts that came to mind while reading it. Feel free to rephrase anything I said if you'd like to add it.

Very helpful info. How do you know what the defenders are equipped with?
