Strategy
Tips
- Take advantage of its area damage attribute.
- Despite having area damage, it is possible to land headshots. Do this to maximize damage.
- It is quite accurate, but you have to aim well to conserve ammo. Though it isn't a major concern due to its Area Damage attribute.
- Pair this with a high damage back-up weapon, like the Thunderer or Exterminator.
- Make sure to reload frequently.
- Use this up to medium range since it does not have a scope.
Counters
- Pickoff its users from long ranges,
- Strafe while jumping to minimize the chances of getting hit.
- Shotguns and weapons with area damage make quick work of its users.
- Attack when the user is reloading or is complacent.
- If all else fails you can hide, use the Reflector gadget, or jump at them and rocket jump.
