Performance
This weapon automatically shoots burning projectiles with instant bullet travel time. The projectiles can burn the player, making them lose extra health for a few seconds.
It only get 
attributes that exert damage debuff to enemies.
Though it's a reskin of Water Rifle, its bullet gets no travel time and hitscan, which means it's just like any other normal auto rifles. But in fact, it gets a little bit spread, so it's better to use it in close-medium range
Generally, Liquid Fire is a standard but not bad auto assault rifle.
Strategy
Gameplay
As a free weapon, it plays a important role about saving your resources. it gains not bad dps, which means you could kill an enemy fast if you shoot not too bad. With damage decay mechanics, you could use it from 44 to 46 or 47, which it can still show reliable combat abilitiy
Overall, it will provide player who get no good weapon to use a period of comfortable gaming, or let players stop paying coins into upgrading. Its economic value is more important than its strength
