Eco round explained
Economy-based shooters reward coordinated spending. A full eco preserves the maximum amount, while a partial buy may invest in pistols, armor, or utility with a specific upset plan. Teams should agree on the next buy before spending; five individually reasonable purchases can create one weak team economy.
Example call
“Take a full eco now so we have rifles, armor, and full utility next round.”
Why the term matters
An eco still has an objective: damage the opponent’s economy, recover a weapon, stack a site, or attempt a high-variance plant.
Use it correctly
Competitive language is most useful when it makes the next action clearer. Give the location, timing, or resource state needed to support the term. Avoid using shorthand as a substitute for a complete call when teammates need more information.
