ITA12L with Holo A and laser (already fixed, with no barrel slot), SMG-11 with Holo A, Flash Hider, Vertical Grip and laser as a real backup weapon, and Proximity Alarm as the default utility.

Why it works

The ITA12L has no barrel slot at all, so Holo A and the laser are the whole call on it, and it hits hard for the close range Solis's own sonic burst pulls attackers into. The SMG-11 is the real second weapon: Flash Hider keeps its vertical climb controlled, and Holo A and the laser keep target acquisition fast.

Who it is best for

Players who want Proximity Alarm as the default utility: early warning on the flank her own scanner isn't watching.

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 Solis's loadout into practice

Turn electronic-device information into a decision the team can act on. A detected device is evidence about a gadget's location and use; it is not automatically a safe route to a free kill. Call what you know before leaving a useful defensive position.

Weapon and utility choices

The P90 supports a primary-weapon approach to repeated gunfights. The ITA12L adds a shotgun role and places more responsibility on the SMG-11 for other engagements. Practise the secondary's recoil before choosing that division of jobs. Pick preparation utility around the openings the site still needs rather than assuming someone else will make them.

A round plan

Scan from cover, make the call, then put the weapon back in hand before moving into a contested route. Compare the device information with teammate calls. If acting on it would leave the objective unguarded, pass the information to the player better placed to respond.

A mistake to avoid

Chasing a detection without checking the path to it. The attacker using the device may have another player covering them, and an opening between floors can expose you as well as the target.

Try this with a teammate

Have a teammate use an attacker device during a custom round. Practise identifying the useful call and returning to a weapon-ready position. Repeat from different floors to separate knowing a location from having a safe way to contest it.
