The Butterfly Eater is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 22.0.0 update. It can be obtained from the Fairy Thug Trader's Van.

Description

Boasting a massive AOE, and excellent flairs, Butterfly Eater is a powerful heavy, capable of decimating many enemies at once and drop their health to the point of death. While it does have a slow fire rate, it is a ferocious heavy and one of the better casual weapons to choose from. With it's GadgetBlocker.png, hindering the enemies abilities.

Appearance

Butterfly Eater is a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, that has green/red stripes wrapping around the base, with a Santa hat hanging off the back and a golden star stuck to the sides. The front has a living, yellow-stripped present with a purple body, and a large yellow bow stuck atop. It has large gaping maws, with glowing white eyes.

The Butterfly Eater fires a massive, blue projectile in the shape of a butterfly. When coming into contact with anything, it'll burst into a blue fireball, accompanied by more blue, phantasmal butterflies. The player than slides the Butterfly Eater some candy, which it promptly devours.

Performance

The fire rate isn't the best, but on the plus side you won't ever need to reload, the damage is high and the AOE is impressive, able to kill several players bunched up together with relative ease. The GadgetBlocker.png is effective, and the inclusion of DoubleJump.pngcan have it's merits.

Strategy

  • Trying to strafe with this weapon can be difficult, because of it's 50 mobility.

Tips

  • The AOE is massive, use this to kill clusters of enemies easily, and clip opponents from around corners.
  • Time your shots, as Butterfly Eater has travel time.
  • This has fixed delay, best not to switch to it while locked in combat.

Counters

  • Gain distance from the Butterfly Eater user, as they'll be forced to time their shots, and might even switch weapon.
  • Using a Jetpack is recommend to gain this distance, as the AOE will no longer be of concern.
  • Be agile, these players abuse the AOE, and being light on your feet will make it hard for them to hit you.
