Streaming Beast
The Streaming Beast is a Heavy weapon introduced in the Bloggers Season Battle Pass, along with the 21.5.0 update.
Description
It is a blue and pink stream beam laser gun resembling of the MrBeast logo. It deals an incredibly high amount of damage, has a good fire rate, a high capacity, and a decent mobility.
Appearance
The gun is a literal copy of YouTuber MrBeast. There is a battery-like object on the bottom side of the gun, connected to the actual muzzle of the gun via a wire. When the charge shot is released, the sound resembles a panther.
Performance
It deals an incredibly high amount of damage, has a good capacity, a decent fire rate and a low mobility. Use this how you would also use Dragon Energy Emitter, Ronin, or any other Stream Beam weapon. However, this does not perform the same as Represser. Though Represser does have the Stream Beam attribute, it does not require a charge, making it quite strange to fire immediately. This weapon has a unique Armor Bonus function. While held in hands, 10% of the user's armor will start regenerating every 1.5 seconds, making this the only weapon that can regenerate armor without a set effect. It can kill in 1 shot at half charge to Developer Armor with a strong burning effect when provided that your modules are usually high and good enough.
Strategy
Tips
- Charge this before you engage in combat.
- use the powerful burning to your advantage, as it can kill in one shot at a half charge.
- When out of battle use this and Heroic Epee to gain all of your health back.
- Switch to a weapon with a high mobility (like Heroic Epee or Double Cashback) as this weapon doesn't have a good mobility.
- It is useful to destroy Rocket Mech due to it's high DPS (Damage per Second) & strong burning effect, so use this to destroy some rocket mech users.
Counters
- Ambush the users before they can charge.
- Bring a set which blocks debuffs, because the burning is very powerful and will likely chip off your health by a lot.
- Use shield weapons such as Sly Wolf and Spirit Mask to block the incoming beam.
- Use Uranium Grenade Launcher as the Radiation will out damage the Armor Bonus.
Recommended Maps
Equipment Setups

Trivia
- This weapon is referencing the YouTuber MrBeast, a very popular YouTuber who is known for doing expensive stunts and challenges, with his friends Chris, Chandler, Karl, among others.
- Despite the naming of the weapon, MrBeast is not an active Twitch streamer, and even on YouTube, he rarely uploads livestreams. However, it would make sense if the naming is based on the Stream Beam attribute.
- This is currently the only weapon in the game that can actually regenerate armor over time when holding it. It regenerates 10% of the player’s armor every 1.5 seconds.
- It is the 2nd Stream Beam weapon to be in the heavy category.
- It is essentially the upgraded version of Sharkado due to it's higher dps, strong burning effect, being in the heavy category and armor regeneration.
