Best Ways to Use the Ghost

You can use the Ghost in a variety of ways, the first of which is for spamming. With a 60-total magazine size and a silencer, the Ghost is the best pistol for spamming through smokes.

For close-range battles, it’s best to simply fire at will. This allows you to take advantage of the high fire rate while still having enough left in the tank for other engagements.

At medium range, controlled and successive taps are your best friend. Firing at bursts of 2-4 bullets at a time allows you to have decent control over the spread and can allow you to hit your shots more accurately. 

Finally, at long-range battles, one-taps are your friend. It’s hard to hit enemies with the Ghost over long distances because it doesn’t have an ADS. So I highly recommend doing slow and controlled one-taps to ensure that you can hit those heads.
