Combat can go a number of ways in a game likeAtomfall.
Personally speaking, I’ll always steer towards ranged over melee.

The Modified JM-3 is the king of ranged weapons in Atomfall, and it’s not even close.
Keep my distance, pick off the bad guys, move on.
That’s mostly how I’ve been playing Atomfall so far, switching between a rifle and a pistol.
Ammo is scarce, but headshots will more often than not get the job done.

It’s not much to look at, but it will lay waste to everything in your way.
Nobody wants to hang on to rusty weapons.
But then I came across the absolute, hands-down, must have weapon in the whole game.
Introducing Atomfall’s Modified JM-3
The Modified JM-3 ticks every single box.

Not the best scope you’ll ever see, but it makes lining up the perfect shot that much easier.
It’s a semi-automatic rifle with a high rate of fire, high damage, and high accuracy.
It’s also theonlyweapon in Atomfall that has a scope on it.
As such, it makes hitting those ammo-preserving headshots much easier, and at greater range.

It comes at its best.
From the second I picked this weapon up, I felt the game change entirely.
Ranged combat became almost too easy.

The bad news is you’ll have to make a little preparation to go get it.
Once you’re in Skethermoor, you oughta head to map location 41.2E, 79.4N.
Here you’ll find theSecluded Cave.

The best weapon in the game, just laying on the floor in a cave.
When you enter the cave, all is quiet, until you come to the main chamber.
The Ferals will be opposite to where you come into it, and at a decent distance.
I recommend crouching and moving slowly, then tossing a couple of Molotovs in their direction.

Quick, simple, and doesn’t risk you by getting up close.
Along the wall will be a narrow gap with thesqueeze throughprompt.
It takes up one of your four larger inventory slots, so confirm you have one spare.

So, take my advice.
As soon as you hit Skethermoor, go to the cave, get the Modified JM-3.
It’ll change your game entirely.
