Why Zero Might Be the Best Solo Queue Operator

Zero is probably one of the best solo queue operators right now—not to mention he’s just insanely strong overall. He’s a “do-it-all” kind of attacker who can fit into almost any team composition thanks to his versatile kit.

He brings:

One of the best guns in the game

Built-in utility clear

Hard breach capability

Insane intel gathering

1. SC3000K (His Gun)

Let’s start with the obvious.

The SC3000K with extended barrel is arguably the best gun in the game:

25-round mag

Manageable recoil

50 damage per shot at 800 RPM

This means:

2 shots to down light operators (body shots)

3 shots for basically everyone else—even with Rook armor

Even hitting limbs (like toes on 2-speed ops) still kills in 3 shots

And even wallbangs, it hurts when you get grazed by that gun through soft walls

2. Argus Launcher (His Gadget)

This is where Zero really becomes insane.

If you learn just 2–3 cam spots per map, you can get ridiculous value. You have 6 cameras total, and they’re not just for intel—they’re also utility clear tools.

What makes them so strong:

Can pierce soft AND reinforced surfaces

Can destroy:

Bandit/Kaid electricity

Mute jammers

Goyo canisters

denari, fenrir, capkan and so much more

You can also use them mid-push, like a drone:

Shoot a cam into the ceiling

Quickly check it

Instantly know what angles defenders are holding

Sometimes defenders don’t even notice the cam during fights. Meanwhile, your dead teammates can:

Watch your cams

Call out positions

Also, leaving at least one cam for flank watch is huge.

I’ve gotten so many free kills just from catching flankers on cams.

Even in solo queue, just asking dead teammates to watch cams can save your life.

3. Hard Breach Charges

This is what makes Zero completely self-sufficient.

There are countless situations where you can:

Go solo on the other side of the map

Clear electricity yourself (using Argus cams)

Open reinforced walls

Create pressure or get free kills

Example – Border (Armory):

Take Office control solo

Clear the electrified wall on the east side (near window)

Open it with hard breach, while using the other to breach into the office itself

Now you have a long angle from outside all the way into Armory

While your team pushes main breach, you:

Get free picks

Force defenders to split attention

Example – Oregon (Big Tower):

People usually rely on Maverick (and even ban him)

But with Zero, you can:

Clear electricity from Meeting below

Set up cams into site (from Kitchen, etc.)

Get crucial intel and pressure without needing a teammate

Final Thoughts

Zero is basically the ultimate solo queue operator:

Self-sufficient

Very good gun

Strong intel

Built-in utility clear

Secondary hard breach

If you know how to use his cams properly, you can carry games without relying much on your team.
