Third Eye
“ | Many people are mistaken that the Third Eye is a spiritual thing. On contrary, this is a real rifle that will give the mental armor and will let you see the enemies through the walls. | ” |

The Third Eye is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 13.0.0 update.
Description
It is a royal themed sniper rifle which possesses a (presumably) 3x scope. It shoots a light blue bullet which is capable of killing enemies in the head with one shot, and two shots on the body for a kill. It has a medium fire rate, medium capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance
It has an overall triangular shape and a futuristic floating scope that apparently has 3 layers. It has white on top and gold plating on its underside and sides, metal on the top. The frame and magazine are both blue. It has red gems and other minor details dotted about.
Performance
The gun is held by both of the player's hands. It shoots light blue bullets at a slow fire rate which deals intense damage and has instant travel time. It holds 7 bullets and when spawning, the player is given two extra magazines. The weapon has the X-Ray Vision attribute, allowing the player to see enemies through walls while scoped in. It also has the Armor Bonus attribute, giving the player extra armor at no cost. Its scope magnification is 3x, making it difficult to snipe at long ranges, but the weapon is still very accurate.
When reloading, the magazine shaped like a box which is located at the bottom of the gun is taken out, and replaced with another magazine.
It receives a delay if weapons like the Thunderer and the Reflector (weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam) were shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.
Strategy
Tips
- It is possible to use this weapon in a Three Category Spam load out, but since it has both input and output delay, its best to pair it with a output delay only backup and either the Poison Darts or Necklace of the Ice King.
- Since it has an armor bonus, use this to gain free armor.
- It's best to set it up with other Mythical Clan weapons to benefit the most.
- It has X-Ray vision. You can use it to detect hidden enemies behind walls.
- Because the Third Eye is a sniper, go into long-ranged maps such as Sniper Forts or D-Day for the best game-play.
- In long ranges, use the scope to detect and kill enemies more easily.
- As always, don't stand still while shooting.
- Aim for the head to maximize the damage.
- Use weapons that slow the opponent down so you can easily shoot them.
- If you are skilled enough, snipe with this weapon to see where opponents are located, and then use a wall break weapon such as the Thunderer.
Counters
- Fight these users in close quarters and when using a Heavy weapon.
- Don't try to hide, because the player will be able to detect you with the X-Ray vision. Moreover, even if you hide, try running and strafing constantly.
- Strafe the shots as much as you can.
- Hiding is fine since the bullets do not actually wall-break. Be aware of the positions of a Third Eye user at all times.
- Use the Reflector (Gadget) to reflect the damage.
- Use weapons like the Frozen Dragon and get behind the user to destroy them quickly.
