Description
The Ultimatum is a Primary weapon released in the 15.3.0 update. It is a futuristic/cyber-themed shotgun that fires multiple laser beams. At close to medium range, it can deal devastating damage and make a short work of heavily armored enemies.
Appearance
It appears to be a futuristic, triangularly-shaped shotgun with a purple tinge and cyan highlights. The player reloads the weapon by flipping the barrel to the side, putting in a power cell, and flipping it shut. It has 2 attached blue power cells at its body as well as a handle and its stock behind it. It has the same theme as the Neutralizer. When firing this weapon, a blue muzzle flash appears before blue gas is expelled out of the weapon and quickly disappears.
Performance
It deals very high damage, has a very slow firerate, low mobility, tight spread, and good range. It is a one shot kill when maxed.
It has 1 primary attribute, being Wallbreak(
)
- Wallbreak allows the user to fire through walls, at the cost of halved damage.
It has both Input and Output Delay, meaning that it gives delay to some weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam, while also receiving a delay if those weapons were shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.
Overall, it is a great shotgun, and generally has good performance.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon should be used just like any other shotgun; at close range.
- If possible, try to equip Turbo Charger to decrease its bullet dispersion.
- Due to the shotgun rework bullet spread does not matter so try getting close and use Piercing Shells instead.
- This weapon has a wall-break attribute, which can be used to your advantage to pick off enemies behind walls, although the Efficiency is dramatically weakened when penetrating through walls. It is also useful for crowd control as its damage is very high.
- Target weakened opponents.
- Pairing the shotgun with Lucky Shot will almost eliminate the need of picking up ammo if all pellets land on the head.
- Strafe around and switch to another weapon after shooting, as the fire rate is extremely slow.
- Try not to switch to a weapon with Input and Output Delay like the Exterminator/Thunderer as the low fire rate of this shotgun will drastically increase the delay of any weapons with delay. If you do intend to do so, Melee Switch out of the delay.
- Rocket jump when on the ground.
Counters
- Stay far away from its users. Because of the way that shotguns work, it will be much more difficult to be killed at range.
- Note that most players with this weapon equipped may use longer-ranged weapons in conjunction with this weapon.
- Any high damage Snipers will take the users out. Be careful not to be outsmarted if you are camping in somewhere where they think you might be in.
- When you hear the distinctive sound of the Ultimatum, especially in duels, it is advised to keep well away from the opponent. Attack them in sniper range with weapons such as the Anti-Champion Rifle and the Drilling Railgun.
- Sneaking up and attacking the user can prove effective when they're engaged with someone else.
- Use the Reflector (Gadget) to weaken opponents while they attack you.
- When at corridors, use ricochet weapons to take out users hiding in corners.
- Mechs/Rocket Mechs are very useful against players equipped with the Ultimatum. They can help absorb the damage for long enough to retaliate.
