Choosing fighting range
corroborated
Short answer
Fight where your weapon, optics, terrain and health state give you options.

What to do
Closing distance can help short weapons but increases ambush and third-party risk. Extending distance can create escape options but may reduce certainty. Choose range deliberately.
How it works
Fight where your weapon, optics, terrain and health state give you options.
