About bringing the gear, it's very different between VTech or Law. From what I saw with gauss rifles and sPA (maybe it changed now as more high tier weapon Idk), Vtech use high level items when they have very high chances to recover them in case of death. Like using it on a sneak playing safe. Most of the time, obviously were when VTech had more numbers, always having someone running to loot gauss or whatever high level item.
Don't get me wrong,
this is how a team should play, and it shows again the cohesion inside VTech, but Laws don't have numbers to do that. And when they have numbers, I rarely saw people taking sPA or whatever high level because we didn't need to. Also we do have
few people who don't care about loot, how many times did I heard on Mumble while retreating and asking about retrieving loot "Fuck loot, let them have it they won" (Hi Tenova
