Something very key to understand is the difference between cover and concealment. Something that is '''cover''' will hide you from view ''and'' stop a bullet. Something that is '''concealment''' will hide you from view but will ''not'' stop a bullet. While obviously sandbags are cover, and bushes are concealment, understand that even something that is '''fully opaque''' can be ''just'' concealment. A common misconception is that a home's walls will stop bullets. In a standard civilian home it is very likely any given wall will ''not'' stop a bullet {{Emdash}} especially if fired from a rifle {{Emdash}} and so that is ''still'' concealment. | Something very key to understand is the difference between cover and concealment.

When possible, cover should also be preferred to concealment. Concealment is better used when staying on the move, or bounding, where access to cover is spotty. In a firefight, proper should be prioritized immediately. | When possible, cover should also be preferred to concealment.
