This section will give a breif overview and stats of the weapons/equipment and tips on how to employ them effectively.

Primary

Medium to long range assault rifle
Damage: 42
Fire Rate: 720
Mobility: 50
Capacity: 30

Recommended attachments: Anything works with this gun

Overall the AUG A2 is a well balanced assault rifle with good damage, mobility, ammo capacity, and recoil. Nothing great about this gun its just very well balanced and the recoil is on the lower end which gives you high accuracy for long range and CQB.

Short to medium range carbine
Damage: 48
Fire Rate: 690
Mobility: 50
Capacity: 30

Recommended attachments: Red dot, Holographic sight, Suppressor, Grip, Compensator

The 552 Commando is a high damage carbine capable of dropping targets witha few shots, with higher damage then the AUG A2 but with slower firerate. With its increased damage also comes with increased recoil, this gun is best fired in shot or long bursts. The recoil tends to rise up and to the right. Its recommended that you use red dot or holographic sights as the high recoil pattern makes using the acog tricky. This gun is also great with the suppresor due to its high damage and the suppressor won't reduce the damage too much unlike other guns. Recommended attachments are the non-magnification sights (ex. red dot), laser, and vertical grip.

Short to medium range LMG
Damage: 37
Fire Rate: 850
Mobility: 50
Capacity: 50

Recommended attachments: Reflex, Grip, Flash hider, Laser

The G8A1 LMG is quite a unique weapon it has average damage but very high fire rate, mobility is not that great but since IQ has low armor and high speed you shouldn't notice that much of a hit. Magazine capacity is moderate compaired to the other LMGs but its mag fed so fast reload times. This gun is good for CQB type maps where there isn't a lot of long hallways and feel free to spray a bit through the walls to kill your target because the mag cap is quite large. This gun is more rewarding when you miss a few shots becasue the fire rate and ammo cap can compensate for your errors. Some of the recommeded attachments are the Holographic sight, flash hider and grip to reduce spread.


P12 Pistol
Short to mid range pistol
Damage: 48
Fire Rate: Semi-Auto
Mobility: 45
Capacity: 15

Recommended attachments: Suppressor

The only pistol for the GSG 9 the P12 pistol stats are similar to the other pistols such as the P226. In the game discription it is stated as a .45 caliber pistol but in reality is a 9mm so I don't know whats going on there. Overall it has high damage and a good mag cap if your using the G8A1 LMG you may want to take this out to move faster.

Equipment

RED Mk III “Spectre”
It detects anything that runs on batteries even Thatcher's emp grenades, it detects both enemy and friendy equipment. This device is usful in detecting explosives, traps abd very useful for disabling Jamming Devices trough barricades in order to let your teammates place breach charges freely.

When playing as IQ it is best to have a mic so you can relay trap positons and other electronic systems to your allies. Having another player playing as Thatcher is also benifical becasue you can detect traps like Nitro Cells and he can throw emps to disable them. Since IQ is barely armored you should play more of a support role stay in the back and provide intel or covering fire. If needed use speed or suprise to attack the enemy head on.

Personally I run with the G8A1 LMG with Hologrophic, Grip, and flash hider, P12 pistol with laser, and stun grenades. My focus is making the smallest spread possable with the G8A1. My playstyle is dependent on the situation, I normally stay in the back as support or if a friendly has a shield I would be behind them suppressing the enemy with my G8A1 and throw stun grenades when entering a room. I can also use IQ offensivly by tosing stuns into a room and engage targets with the LMG. Since it has 50 rounds you can down at least 3 targets with quick bursts.

Summary

IQ is a very good attacker with high DPM weapons but also very weak, depending on what weapons you chose her playstyle is different. She is vary versitile but mainly used to support your teamates. With effective communication having her in your team can be devestating to the enemy.
