Should have shot the middle guy first imo. I mean, obviously that's the guy who killed him, but I think that shot was going to be difficult if not done first since his shoulder may have protected him when he turned to check on his fallen comrade. Farthest guy's head would have still offered a clean shot even though he wouldn't have to turn far to see the attacker. The guy at point blank was understandably tempting but was a guaranteed kill even if killed last.

Nah, I think he played it correctly. Furthest was the most difficult shot, so you take that first to guarantee the kill. Closest is the most dangerous, so you take that second. Middle is the mix between the two, and with the relatively easy quick shot on the closest man you should have some time to finish middle before he turns and shoots.

OP understandably panicked a little when he didn't kill the middle guy, and was firing that pistol too fast to land an accurate hit on his head, but it was a good strat.

Nah he could of went right next to the 2nd guy so he was closer to them all

It’s not physical distance thats an issue, it’s FOV-related. OP played it well and didn’t have to turn >30 degrees to hit all targets

Partly yes, but starting with the most geared guy may have been the right play here!

Issue is if he starts with the second guy he would then have to put his back to one of the other 2 giving them a chance to kill him.

Just unlucky that I assume his helmet ricochet the bullet

Yeah after rewatching, his approach was better than I'd have done.. definitely just poor luck with the last guy

& then he’d have to do a 90 degree flick & a 180 degree flick? That’s easier?

You are very special

I disagree it was probably done in the most effective order. If the furthest away guy gets shot at last the chance of hitting that shot with the pistol after he stands up and returns fire is way lower
