The Alligator is a Special weapon introduced in the 10.1.0 update but removed from the shop in the 10.3.0 update.
Description
It is an alligator-themed weapon that shoots a fiery projectile with instant bullet travel time. The Alligator provides good efficiency, moderate fire rate, moderate capacity amount and a average low mobility.
Appearance
It appears to be a weaponised version of the enemy "Alligator". It is a semi-flamethrower that has a volcanic clip, a metal handle, two alligator eyes, and an alligator mouth. The head of the alligator is located at the front of the weapon. The weapon is usually a 5-6 shot kill to an enemy with max level armor.
Performance
This weapon shoots a fiery projectile with an instant bullet travel time, which means that this weapon can pick off players even in a long range.
When reloading, the player takes out the clip, the alligator mouth extends, then the player puts the clip back and the alligator mouth is less opened. It has no delay mechanics, which can be used for Three Category Spam due to its instant travel time, despite its relatively low damage.
Strategy
Tips
- As this weapon isn't capable of getting kills by head, aim at the player in order to tear them down.
- It doesn't have much capacity per clip, so it is best to at least slightly conserve some ammunition for taking down more enemies.
- You can use this weapon in medium range, as this weapon provides instant bullet travel time with area damage.
- The fire rate isn't fast enough, and yet, it takes 3 shots to kill a player using this weapon, so it is best quickswapping (by triggering, then quickly switch to another weapon then back to this weapon) then fire again.
- Switch to a high mobility weapon of 85/100 due to its low mobility.
- Use this to get hits on a Jetpack user.
Counters
- Pick off its users from long range.
- Use a powerful automatic weapon such as the Automatic Peacemaker or the Assault Machine Gun as this gun's firing rate is slow.

Equipment Setups
Have this with a powerful Heavy weapon so you can kill them in a matter of seconds, or equip a long-range weapon with high lethality like the Royal Fighter to easily out-power the user.
