P90 with Holo A, Suppressor and laser for a quiet, close-range weapon, Reaper MK2 with Flash Hider and laser as a matching backup, and Nitro Cell as the default utility.
Why it works
Suppressor trades a little recoil control for hiding your muzzle flash and gunshot direction; worth it on the P90's high fire rate, since Rook plays a patient, positional game rather than sweeping for first contact. Holo A keeps peripheral vision clean, and the laser speeds up aiming down sights for the trades that follow. The Reaper MK2 mirrors it with Flash Hider and the same laser attachment for a consistent backup.
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 support 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.
