The Plastic Bazooka is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 16.4.0 update. It can be obtained from the Plastic Army Event.
Description
It is a plastic-military themed bazooka that shoots light green plastic rockets. It has good damage, a good fire rate, a low capacity, and slow mobility. It is 1-2 shots with a fast fire rate.
Appearance
It resembles a plastic green rocket launcher, with a green breach, tube, a pair of iron sights, a foregrip and a pistol grip. It is somewhat Based on RPG-7.
Performance
This weapon shoots plastic rockets with medium bullet travel time. These rockets have area damage on impact and have a cluster bomb attribute, which means that they have smaller explosions after their impact. The player can harmlessly rocket jump with this weapon because this weapon has no self-damage.
When reloading, the user removes 3 plastic rockets from a plastic holding and inserts them one by one into the barrel of the gun. It has no delay mechanics.
It has Fixed Delay, which means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Plastic Bazooka always has a delay lasting around half of a second.
Strategy
Tips
- Use this on a group as it has area damage and cluster bomb.
- Use this on close to medium range only as it has bullet travel.
- Reload in a safe spot as the reload rate is very slow.
- Conserve ammo as it only has 3 shots.
- Target weakened enemies first as its medium damage output makes it less effective against full-armored enemies.
Counters
- Attack the user from long range.
- Strafe around the enemy as the area damage isn't big. However, beware it has a cluster bomb, so it is recommended to maintain your distance whilst strafing.
- Use the Reflector (Gadget) to make its user(s) less enthusiastic in hitting you.
- Attack the user when they're reloading.
- If outmatched, escape with a 65+ mobility weapon as this weapon's mobility is moderately low.
