How to Use Battle Rage In-Game?

• PC: Press X
• PlayStation: Press L1+R1
• Xbox: Press LB+RB

Defensively, if you find yourself trapped in the enemy spawn area and need a quick escape, equipping Battle Rage can help you make a swift exit.

• While the boost is active, tactical equipment won’t affect you, but you can still take damage from regular weapons.
• If you’re not landing shots accurately, take cover until your health regenerates to over half.
• Flanking enemies without being spotted and activating Battle Rage can lead to easy multi-kills.
• Battle Rage offers protection from tactical equipment, giving you an advantage when pushing enemies behind cover, as their stun grenades won’t affect you.

Always remember to stay focused and trust your aim when flanking your enemies or pushing them face-front. Equip Battle Rage and wow your teammates by scoring those multi-kills.
