Deadside
Deadside Weapon Guide
Deadside is a hardcore survival shooter on Windows PC. This guide focuses on weapon handling and recoil so you can improve without wasting hours on trial and error.
Weapon handling and recoil
Semi-auto rifles reward tap firing at medium range. SMGs win in CQC around warehouses. Attach a compensator early and carry two bandage stacks plus painkillers. Practice switching to sidearms when your primary runs dry mid-fight.
Squad comms and flanking
One player scouts while another covers exits. Pin enemies with suppressive fire, then swing wide for a flank. Mark compass bearings instead of vague callouts. Revive windows are short — smoke or flash before dragging a teammate in the open.
Loot routes and safe towns
Deadside mixes open-world looting with PvP hotspots. Learn which towns spawn medical kits, armor plates, and rifle attachments before you push a high-tier zone. Stick to tree lines when crossing fields and listen for distant gunfire before committing to a loot run.
