Scorpion EVO 3 A1 with Holo A, Compensator and laser for an SMG that rewards controlling the vertical climb yourself, Glaive-12 with Holo A, Vertical Grip and laser as a real backup shotgun, and Deployable Shield as the default utility.

Why it works

Compensator is the pick when you already keep the Scorpion controlled vertically and horizontal drift is what actually costs you during a spray. It's the same tradeoff that works well for Ela. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser speeds up aiming down sights for close trades. The Glaive-12 has no barrel slot, so Vertical Grip and the laser are the real decision on it, giving Denari a genuine close-range second weapon rather than just a sidearm.

Who it is best for

Players who want Deployable Shield as the default utility: instant cover for holding an angle without exposing yourself, and without needing a teammate's utility to make it work.

Attachment roles: the laser aids aiming speed, the angled grip aids reload speed, and the horizontal grip aids movement speed. Ubisoft attachment rework. Check available options in game.

Not sure what to change? Compare attachments with a repeatable practice routine.
