Description

Performance
This weapon shoots napalm or fireballs that are looping shot and that leave a fiery puddle on impact. This weapon has bullet travel time, so it takes time to land on the player. The fiery puddle or the fireball can make the player take damage by burning it they stand on it.
When reloading, the clip from the bottom is taken out and is replaced by a spare one. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
The Napalm Cannon has good efficiency, moderate fire rate, low capacity and low mobility for levels between 7 and 16.
Tips
- The Burning effect for this weapon is very minimal, so try to aim for direct hits.
- Use this against a large group of players.
- Conserve as much ammunition as you can, as it is easy to run out of ammunition.
- When running, use a highly mobile weapon like the Double-Cashback.
Counters
- To avoid taking damage, try to strafe-fire, while also staying out of it's burning radius.
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- If you spot its user at close range, target them and try to kill them asap as the weapon's Burning attribute can damage you over time. In addition to this, it also leaves a small area of flames which will damage any of your teammates if they land in it.
- Due to its low mobility and slow bullet travel time, you can simply around its user with any 85 mobility weapon.
