Plan B
The Plan B is a Heavy weapon introduced in update 21.2.0.
Description
The Plan B is a Heavy weapon of the Mythical grade introduced in the 21.2.0 update and is obtainable from the Super Lottery. It features a relatively fast fire rate and deals decent damage. Paired with its low capacity and slow mobility it is often a 1-2 shot kill depending on whether its shots are direct hits or not.
Appearance
It appears to be a mostly golden and brown grenade launcher. It has a wooden handle with gold outlining at the front of the weapon, a golden barrel. At the front barrel of the weapon, there is a golden heart. It has a grey and blue scope at the top of the weapon that you can't use.
Performance
When the player presses the fire button, the Plan B will recoil back while emitting a rocket . When an opponent comes contact with one of its projectile it he/she will be damaged, temporaily slowed down and blinded .
It has Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Plan B will always have a pull-up delay lasting around half of a second.

Tips
