Guide:SeaCrane1's Black Lung Guide

Whether you're into Fireteam or not, Black Lung is an often overlooked, rather challenging game mode. It takes place in a mine shaft (as you probably already know) and lasts for 12 rounds of intense close-quarters warfare, with added objectives and various other things not found in other Fireteam maps, like usable Dynamite grenades and destructible generators. I'm going to try to make this nice and comprehensive for you guys, but I'll update it every so often. After all, you learn something new every day!

Lobby Prep
(Note, explosives won't be mentioned much here. Support weapons can vary due to personal preference) The key to a good game is having the right gear. As such, it's important to stock up with the right stuff. There are a few different things to take into account:
 * Do you want to run around quickly or tank explosions and blows from the Infected?
 * Are you more of an aggressive player, or do you feel like you fit the support role more?
 * Do you want enough ammo to mow everything down, or do you want to cluster everything and blow it up?
 * For the aggressive runner, a nice, very basic set of gear would include the Combat Beanie/i-Pop Hat, Wasteland Goggles, Light Vest, and an Advanced Backpack. Recommended weapons include the PP-19, K3, K1A, and other light SMGs, ARs, or MGs. It's always advised to carry at least one MG with you at all times.
 * If tanking's more your thing (and speed isn't any issue) try the following setup: IBH, Wasteland Goggles, Heavy Vest, and at least an Advanced Backpack. Weapons include the M60, RPK, or the ACR. Go for high-powered weapons or ones with easy-to-control recoil.
