This one is called Bastion because there is no fortress that can withstand its power of destruction. A real mini-artillery unit in your hands!

—Weapons description in Gallery

The "Bastion" is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 10.0.0 update along with other weapons.

Description[]

It is a khaki and dark gray grenade launcher that shoots grenades/bombs with area damage. It deals high damage, a normal rate of fire, normal capacity, and fairly low mobility.

Appearance[]

It has a khaki and dark grey body with matching colors of its barrel, grip, stock, handle, and magazine with a black "X" and a red dot in the letter's center. It has a dark grey scope with a streak of red on it and the sight being a red aiming reticle, once functional before an update.

Performance[]

This weapon shoots small, brown/black grenades that have looping shot, so they have a moderate bullet travel time. Moreover, these projectiles leave a smoky trail and on impact, they leave a medium-sized explosion.

When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by another one. It currently does not have any delay mechanics.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Aim near the enemy's feet for ensured damage unless they tend to jump and move a lot in which case you should aim for where they are about to land.
  • Due to its large blast radius, feel free to use this for crowd control.
  • Jump before firing in order to avoid self-damage, or to rocket jump since this weapon has a relatively fast firing rate for a Heavy weapon.
  • Although powerful, it shoots in an arc. Try to aim high above the enemy's head in medium to long ranges to compensate for this.
  • It can easily tear down armored players, Turrets, and Mechs.
  • When rocket jumping with it, don't shoot right underneath your feet, as it can deal high damage upon yourself.
  • This weapon is powerful enough to take down max-armored players in 2 shots. Paired with its fast fire rate, this weapon is great for players who are level 65.
  • With high level modules, it can even 1-shot certain armors.

Counters[]

  • Use a wall break weapon while hiding behind a wall to avoid being hit while doing damage safely.
  • If possible, try outmaneuvering the enemy to avoid getting caught in the blast. Be cautious of doing so because of the large blast radius this weapon now possesses.
  • Pick off its users from long ranges, this is a very reliable strategy in this weapon's case as it travels in a short arc rather than a straight trajectory.
  • Being high up in the air decreases the chance of you getting hit by it, but watch out for users that'll switch to automatic weapons or snipers to counter you.
  • Automatic weapons can overpower its users.
  • Another way is to just jump. Since this weapon does not have large area damage like the Solar Power Cannon, jumping can save you.
  • Using a high mobility weapon can save you since the projectiles don't travel fast.
  • When flying in the air, DO NOT get too close to ceilings or walls as the area damage will affect you.
