==Strategy Guide==
 
*The DMR excels at medium to longer ranges, so make sure to keep a closer ranged weapon for close quarters engagements.
* The DMR has a recoil pattern that resets on not firing for a few seconds, so for accurate fire, be patient and wait for it to reset.
*Players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. The further the target the higher the player should aim. They should also aim in the direction a target is moving at long ranges to compensate for the bullet travel time. The faster and further the target the further the player should aim.
*If the player feels confident enough in being able to use this weapon at closer ranges too, the DMR can be a replacement for the Ranger Assault Rifle and Striker Burst Rifle, as both are mostly used for accurate mid-range firing. This will save a slot in the inventory as the DMR works both as an Assault Rifle and Sniper.
**This is especially an advantage in the early game, as Assault Rifles and the DMR also share the same ammo.
*In Duos or Squads, it would be wise for players to not carry the same ranged weapon, meaning that both at least a DMR and a Sniper should be carried to be better prepared for more combat situations.
