The Hypno-pursuer is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 24.4.0 update.

Description

Hypno-Pursuer is a Mythical sniper rifle, which has a average damage, slow firerate and several of abilities, it showed a nice strength in whatever killing and finding. It will take 1-2 shots for killing.

Appearance

It's a sniper with multiple colors. There are some light-green sectors on the scope, and a sharp bipod at the bottom. The shape of the barrel and muzzle is ridiculous; its barrel looks like three colorful hypno vortexes connected by strange tentacles.

When firing, the hypno vortexes will shrink and then enlarge to their original size. When reloading, these holes will become completely invisible and refilled once reloading is done.

It seems to not have an original module from real life because its barrel actually looks like an imaginary attachment rather than something with high legibility.

Performance

All of his Primary attributes are useful, they are ElectricShokElectricShock.png,X-rayVisionX-RayVision.png, and InvisibilityWhenReloadingInvisibility.png

  • Its ElectricShockElectricShock.png Ability can incapacitate the enemies a lot, though they may not be killed from your first shot. However, Hypno-Pursuer has a slow fire rate, so it's not easy to consistently get kills if you can't kill enemy in one shot.
  • X-rayX-RayVision.png will make it easy for user to find enemy hidden
  • Become invisible while reloading Invisibility.png will increase your safety, although the duration is not very long. But there are some ways to utilize it better (See it in the Basic Gameplay section below)

All in all, Hypno-Pursuer is a good sniper that shows abilities in multiple ways and give user a good game experience

Strategy

Basic Gameplay

In order to make Hypno-Pursuer more unique, instead of just being a normal sniper, we need to allow it to showcase its attributes.

The "InvisibleWhileReloading" ability makes you invisible for a short period of time, and Hypno-Pursuer has a longer reloading animation. You can switch to another weapon while it is reloading, and then quickly switch back and reload again. Unlike Noble Porcelain (to active the RestoresArmorWhileReloading.png ability, it requires different remaining ammo to activate the ability) , you can become invisible whenever you want. However, after killing an enemy, a "Revenge Mark" will appear on your head, making it easier for them to aim at you. This is the main limitation of Hypno-Pursuer's power in normal modes like DeathMatch

In the Team-Strike Mode, the Revenge Mark will not appear in a new round. This means that people can only determine your real position based on their experience or specific debuffs (Such as the debuff from Stained Glass Protector). Additionally, in this mode, the use of tools like the Stealth Bracelet is prohibited which makes its ability more unique.

Besides, X-ray X-RayVision.pngAbility will provide you a chance to find people who hidden in the corner. This will avoid meeting a unfair draw.

Tips

  • Try switching weapons to maximize damage after hitting an enemy with Hypno-Pursuer. This will increase your killing efficiency.
  • Module Combination is not necessary as it already provides X-ray vision and invisibility upon reloading.
  • The scope provides a high-magnification sight and makes it difficult to spot enemies. You can quickly switch between hip-fire and scoped aiming to help locate them. Spam the scope key quickly and try focusing on the red layout.

Counters

  • If you are killed by a user of Hypno-Pursuer who is constantly remaining invisible, try to locate them by looking for the Revenge Mark on their head.
  • For those who enjoy being invisible with Hypno-Pursuer, use a weapon with a visible debuff to help you identify their location.
  • Use a weapon with high mobility or a weapon with PullingTowardsTarget.png , as there is a slim chance of survival when attacked by Hypno-Pursuer.
    • If this situation actually occurs, use a high-power weapon and attempt to kill them in return.
  • Some set will avoid "X-ray Vision X-RayVision.png" like RGB Pioneer set (This link is the melee of this set)

Recommended Maps

The maps with long range fighting area will make sniper more dangerous, Like:

Though players could also aim at enemies in close range, that is not the sniper's advantage area. Here's examples:
