—Weapon's description in Gallery | ||
- This article describes a Pixel Gun 3D weapon. If you are looking for the same weapon in Pixel Gun World, see Anti-Gravity Blaster (PGW).
The Anti-Gravity Blaster is a Heavy weapon added in the 5.4.1 update.
Description
The Anti-Gravity Blaster is a silver-colored pistol that shoots energy projectiles. Its most commonly used to rocket jump. The damage is pretty high, the capacity is small and it has decent mobility.
Appearance
It has a gray/white base, with a red barrel, with the end being black. Red light can be seen coming out of the barrel.
On its body, it has displays of the weapon's status, depicted as being overcharged, due to orange displays and lights. It has a battery clip found on the gun's rear end.
When fired, it fires a mass of orange, circular waves of energy.
When reloading, the used energy cell from behind the blaster is replaced with a new one.
Performance
This weapon shoots orange circular projectiles from its large nozzle with a harmless rocket-jump property. The weapon has a large blast radius compared to most other explosive guns. Its knockback effect is also useful for disorienting foes.
When reloading, the player takes out the gauge from the back and replaces it with another one. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon is very good to Rocket Jump with. Use this tactic to ambush unsuspecting players or to escape a bad situation.
- This weapon has a large ammunition reserve, but it has a low firing speed. Try to aim well, or at least quick swap to completely reduce the cool down, catching the opponent with splash damage may be easier. If they are rocket jumping straight towards you however, a single headshot with a sniper might be enough to take them down.
- Its large explosive radius and slow bullet traveling speed means it is more effective at close distances. Be cautious of its large radius where it makes it more easy for accidental suicides.
- Make sure to have jump enhancing accessories like the Storm Trooper Boots or the Berserk Boots while attempting to rocket jump with this weapon. The large radius will not allow you to jump a normal high to avoid self damage.
- Keep in mind that this weapon can push your enemies a considerable distance when used, otherwise it will be difficult to get consecutive hits.
- A good strategy is using boots that allow double jump, and hop around while firing this weapon. It is mostly recommended to fire this weapon to the ground and near at the enemy at the same time as well.
Counters
- If the user is jumping in irregular patterns towards you from a distance, using a rapid-firing, long-ranged rifle is more effective since snipers will miss more often.
- This weapon's fair magazine size and high damage means that users will outlast many other Heavy weapons. However be sure to have an effective backup in case you empty your shots.
- Its advised to avoid close confrontation with a user of this weapon in general since they are known to jump around constantly around you making any sort of counterattack difficult.
- Pickoff its users from long ranges.
- Lure its users to a small space for easier to hit them with the Heavy weapon of your choice.

Equipment Setups
Have a strong Melee weapon and a strong Primary weapon equipped, to fend off close quarter players. This weapon's projectile travels slowly, making it less effective at range. Have a good Sniper weapon, such as the Prototype, or the Anti-Hero Rifle for these distances.
