### **Against players**

The wolf has an average damage per second in the class and a hard-to-control machine gun. Therefore, you should not count on an easy victory in a duel. It is worth acting thoughtfully, the main task is to activate the ability in time - after which, with an accurate turn, disable the enemy. Accuracy under the ability is very high even from the hip, which allows you to effectively deal with opponents in close combat. High consumption for a dash does not contribute to flanking bypasses and quick capture of key positions. The under-barrel grenade launcher allows you to hit targets behind cover even at a great distance, but the ammunition load is only two grenades, so it is best to leave them as a last resort.

*Recommended reserves:*

* "Stimulator" - Svarog spends a lot of stamina on the dash, and he is quite dependent on his ability.

### **Against bots**

For PVE, the Wolf is great, as it has a large ammunition and magazine volume, as well as an ability useful for quickly eliminating targets. However, it is worth remembering that the increased magazine for the main weapon gets only at the 15th level of development. This ability is great for quickly eliminating dangerous targets such as stormtrooper bots, or even grenade launchers, snipers, and chemistry bots. And the uncomfortable recoil against bots will not cause any special problems, since the targets move in a fairly predictable way.
