—Weapon's description in Gallery |
The Rhino is a Primary weapon introduced in the 14.0.0 update.
Description
It is a blue shotgun that shoots a spread of bullets at high efficiency and power. It has a high fire rate, low capacity, and high mobility. Its speed and power make it as strong as a “rhino”.
Appearance
It is a reskin of the Heavy Shotgun.
It is a blue shotgun with white accents and a grey stock. The overall design on the front, mainly the eyes and shape, make it look like a somewhat flattened rhino. It reloads by detaching a little cylindrical drum magazine, similar to the Minigun Shotgun.
Performance
The Rhino shoots a spread of bullets with instant bullet travel time and a high fire rate. It is very powerful and best effective at close range. Firing in short bursts can save the player a lot of ammunition.
When reloading, the player takes out the drum of shells from the weapon's back and is replaced by another. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- Like all shotguns, tend to use this gun in close-quarter combat.
- This gun has low ammo, so try to conserve your ammo as much as possible.
- A Singular Grenade would be paired up pretty well with this weapon, as this gun is a shotgun, and can deal damage to multiple enemies at once.
- Try to get headshots on enemies as this would maximize damage.
- Don't hold the firing button if the enemy is still at medium ranges.
- Use this like a budget version of the Heavy Shotgun, as while It may be weaker maintaining it with constant upgrades will be easier.
Counters
- Pickoff its users from long ranges.
- Strafe around so that users can waste their ammo, and when they are reloading, kill them.
- Counter them with a weapon that is more efficient than this like the Champion Mercenary.
- If your accuracy is good, use the Laser Bouncer or the Anti-Champion Rifle to finish them off a quickly as possible to avoid heavy damage.
