Strategy
Tips
- The weapon is effective at medium range, however without a scope, it can be difficult to hit enemies at farther ranges due to the bullet travel time.
- When engaging in close range combat, aim for the feet or any surface area near the enemy, since this has area damage.
- Note that the area damage is not as big as it seems.
- Fire upon groups of enemies to weaken them.
- Finish off players when they are stunned with a Heavy weapon or Sniper weapon.
- Strafe around users while attacking and while reloading.
- Make sure to keep its ammo supply up since it can run out of ammo quickly if one is not careful.
- After hitting two targets, the super punch ability will activate, this will increase the damage and area damage of the next shot.
- The super punch attribute will disappear if you switch to another weapon.
Counters
- Pick off the user at long range.
- Area damage and shotguns make quick work of users.
- Strafe around users while attacking to make them deplete their ammo reserves. But beware that experienced users can anticipate your movements, so move in a random pattern is recommended.
- Wait until the user has to reload, then attack.
- Avoiding getting too close to the user, back off while firing to minimize damage taken.
- If hit, get out of the combat area quickly and wait until the slowness wears off.
- Use one shot snipers to defeat these users quickly.
