Alien Rifle
| “ | Alien technologies allow the ammo to bounce off various objects, postponing their detonation. Unfortunately, the magazine contains 20 rounds only. Thus, you can't overwhelm your enemy's base with a single rifle. | ” |
——Weapon's quote in Gallery | ||
The Alien Rifle is a Primary weapon introduced in the 10.1.0 update.
Description
It is a futuristic alien-themed rifle that shoots cyan particles which can bounce on walls. It has medium-high damage, a mediocre fire rate for an automatic weapon, low capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance
The Alien Rifle has a bulky appearance and most of the color was white and the light blue is for the 'energy' parts of the gun. Similar to the Alien Blaster, it is mostly white and blue shaded color.
Performance
This weapon shoots cyan particles that take the form of small dots that leave small trails. These particles can bounce off of walls and have a slow bullet travel time for an automatic weapon. These particles are shot automatically from the weapon's nozzle.
When reloading, the player takes the magazine from behind the gun and replaces it with another one. It has no delay mechanics.

Strategy
Tips
- Aim for the head to maximize damage and conserve ammo.
- Don't stop dodging left and right while jumping and killing, especially when encountering lower armored players that use weapons that aren't effective against dodgers.
- For more experienced users, you need to rely on predictions, aim to where the enemy will go instead of directly at the enemy (unless fighting in close ranges).
Counters
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- Use a high fire rate or high-efficiency weapon such as the Automatic Peacemaker , Assault Machine Gun , etc. (For close range combat) The One Shot , etc. (For long ranges).
Recommended Maps
Equipment Setups
Have a weapon that doesn't have a bullet travel time such as a Sniper.
- This weapon is one of the more solid and pure primaries in the game, as this weapon (generally in lower levels) provides the user with decent power, a moderate fire rate, and an average capacity. This weapon would be your preferred weapon in close to medium ranges and/or tight spaces.
