What are Loadouts?
Loadouts refer to a set of customizations that a player can make that will impact their weaponry selection. These customizations will have a large impact on playstyle and personal style through camo selections but also competitiveness as the game meta changes. Players often tweak and share loadouts to keep up with the latest meta.
