- The attribute is useful for dealing additional damage to enemies over time.
- Though it has decent mobility, it is recommended to equip a Melee weapon when travelling around the map.
- Due to its low mobility, carry a high mobility melee like Double Cashback or Ban Hammer when moving around the map.
Counters

- Try to wait until the user is out of ammo, then attack while they are vulnerable.
- Flank around the user with a shotgun or melee weapon and attack them from behind.
- Avoid being caught in the open when there is a sniper, stick to cover and locate the sniper then attempt to counter snipe them with your own.
- Flamethrowers and shotguns can be useful for quickly killing users at close range.
