Likes Absorber
The Likes Absorber is a Backup weapon introduced in the 21.5.0 update. It is one of the three Super Hater Traders Van weapons in the Blogger Season.
Description
It is a blogger/hater themed backup introduce in the 21.5.0 update. It's the third flamethrower in the Back Up section.
Appearance
The gun appears to have a similar model to the Extracting Ray Pistol, with a grayish-black color scheme. Some parts of the gun are orange. In the left hand, it appears to be a walkie-talkie, similar to how you hold one with Supply Airdrop. However, like Supply Airdrop, the walkie-talkie is purely for cosmetic looks, and cannot be used.
Performance
It has good capacity, low mobility, and low damage paired with a high fire rate. Since this weapon possesses the flamethrower attribute, it is better to use this weapon in close-medium range. However, when switching to this weapon, there will be a pullout delay of about 0.5 seconds.
Strategy
Due to the fact that this is a close range weapon, use it in maps like Silent School or Pool Party. use this like you would use High Voltage and Echo Scanner. This is a fairly decent weapon in Duels due to the "Blocks Gadgets" attribute.
Tips
- Make sure to land most of your shots on the enemy, since Electrothrower weapons eat through your ammo.
- If you see a gadget user, be sure to hit them so they can't use gadgets.
- Pair this with a high damage shotgun or a high damage sniper, as this weapon also possesses the "Gravitation Force" attribute.
Counters
- Stay out of the range of the weapon. Because of the gravitation, you will likely fail to escape unless you have grappling/rocket jumpable weapons.
- Use a sniper to take the user out.
- Use any weapon with the "Slows the Target" attribute to make them even slower.
- If the user lands their shots as to almost kill you, equip your Heavy weapon with the Last Word Module Combo so they also take damage.
- Another method is to use the Reflector Gadget.
