P10 RONI with Holo A, Extended Barrel and laser for extra range damage, Super Shorty with Iron Sights and laser as a pocket shotgun backup, and Nitro Cell as the default utility.

Why it works

Extended Barrel trades recoil control for extra damage at range; worth it since Mozzie plays a patient, positional game while his Pests hijack drones rather than sweeping for first contact. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser speeds up aiming down sights for closer trades. The Super Shorty only offers Iron Sights and nothing else, so it's mostly a fixed pick with a laser on top.

Who it is best for

Players who want Nitro Cell as the default utility: real damage against a stack or a plant, which matters most for an operator whose own gadget is pure information rather than denial.

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.

Put Mozzie's loadout into practice

Deny a useful attacker information route and turn captured drones into information your team can use. A captured drone only helps after somebody places it where it sees something relevant and somebody checks that view.

Weapon and utility choices

Compare the P10 RONI and Commando 9 using a first engagement followed by a second target before reloading. The question is whether your chosen primary gives you enough margin for the fights you take. Practise getting back into cover to reload instead of building a routine that assumes every burst ends the engagement.

A round plan

Decide which entrance or information route your Pest should protect. After taking control of a drone, park it with a clear view of a route the team cannot watch directly. Name that route to teammates. Reposition the drone when the attack moves instead of leaving it in the first place you captured it.

A mistake to avoid

Spending the round driving a drone while your operator is exposed. Find cover before using observation tools and arrange for a teammate to watch the nearby approach. Gathering information is useful only if the team can survive and act on it.

Try this with a teammate

Place a captured drone, then have a teammate cross the route without telling you when. Practise a short location-and-direction call. Check whether that call gives the defender enough time to prepare without having to stare at the camera continuously.
