—Weapon's description in Gallery

The Fireball Gauntlet is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 16.7.0. update. They were unlockable for the 1st half of the Arcade Battle pass through the super lottery.

Description

They are a pair of large gauntlet gloves that has the ability to create fireballs from the palms. It deals high damage and holds several charges. But it has a low fire rate and mobility.

Appearance

It appears to be a pair of large red gauntlets with fire emitters in the palm sections. The cover the player's forearm.

Performance

When the fire button is held down, user will form a fireball using the gauntlets. When the fire button is let go, the user launch 3 fireballs, which will explode upon impact. The gauge in the middle of the screen when holding down the attack button will determine how powerful the attack will be, with a fully charged attack dealing the most damage.

It has Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Fireball Gauntlet will always have a pull-up delay lasting around half of a second.

Strategy

The weapon fires 3 fireballs when fully charged. It's a 3 shot burst (1 shot) kill when fully charged.

Tips

• Use against a large group of enemies because the area damage is massive.
• Fire when fully charged.
• The projectiles will auto-fire if you have been killed.
• It is impossible to use this weapon for rocket jumping, you won't go up and you'll do a lot of self-explosion damage in the process.
• Don't rush into battle without it fully charged. This will result in death as you try to charge it.

Counters

• Kill users with a 1 shot/wall breaker weapon. As soon as possible.
• Beware, this weapon deals a very high amount of damage, try not to get hit by it.
• Jump around so its uses will waste time trying to aim towards you.
• Eliminate users while they reload.
