The Dragon Scales is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 24.2.0 update. It can be obtained from the Eastern Cyber Season Pixel Pass.

Description

The Dragon Scales is a heavy released in the 24.2.0 update. It has strong stats all around and is very powerful if used right.

Appearance

It's a rocket launcher with mostly black body and few hints of purple. It is adorned with neon green spikes and a hologram inside its barrel, where its rocket resides. The gun also comes with neon green eyes, resembling a dragon.

When reloading, its hologram flickers and disappears and its eyes turns off, then it reactivates once loaded, similar to Harsh Dragon.

Unlike all other guns in the game, this gun has a hologram that displays its ammo count, which can actually be very helpful as you always see your ammo on screen.

Performance

It has a fast firerate, decent damage, a good capacity, decent mobility, and a decently fast rocket. Its main perk is the stun, allowing you to quickly pull off your second shot and secure the kill. Although it has a good rocket jump, it has very high self damage, making it risky to rocket jump with.

Strategy

Tips

  • This weapon is useful for close range due of its fast rocket, but ensure direct hit due of its poor area damage.
  • Use its stun to slow down large group of enemies.
  • Do not rocket jump with this weapon unless absolutely necessary, as you will take heavy damage, unless you jump first.
  • Despite its fast rocket, it is not recommended to engage from a distance as it has poor blast radius

Counters

  • Stay away from its users as this weapon excels at close range.
    • Even better, use the Last Word if he manages to kill you while he is
  • Strafe and jump, as getting hit is often your demise.
  • Stay at a longer distance, as its rockets will likely miss from that range.
  • Staying on high grounds or using Jetpack is useful as its mostly useless on higher targets

Recommended Maps

Equipment Setups

Use a powerful shotgun, such as Chickaboom!, to ward off enemies getting in your face. Additionally, keep a powerful sniper with you to attack long distance targets, such as Sakura.

Changelog

Trivia

  • This is the second weapon to have a built-in ammo counter, first being Noble Porcelain.
  • Despite the loading screen showing this weapon having 10 capacity, it actually has way less in-game. This could indicate that at first, it was intended to have 10 capacity, but later on in development it was reduced to 7 capacity.
