—Weapon's description in Gallery

The Antivirus is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 16.0.0 update.

Description

It is a code-themed Sniper weapon and it has X-Ray Vision, Ricochet, and Piercing Shot. It deals high damage, with an average fire rate, low ammo capacity, and decent mobility. Most of the time, it can one-shot max armored players.

Appearance

It takes the appearance of a purple sniper rifle. It has a purple/yellow frame with a purple/blue pistol grip, scope, and a yellow hand-guard. In the middle, it has neon blue connectors as the body. The barrel of the weapon features 3 Rubik's cube pieces, with a binary code magazine embedded in the weapon's body.

When fired, it fires a laser of yellow/green binary code, which will ricochet off of objects. Its appearance is akin to the Laser Bouncer.

When fired, the cubes spin faster before turning back into their normal spin speed.

Performance

The player, holding this weapon with both hands, shoots multiple bluish bullets with Piercing Shot and Ricochet capabilities. Moreover, it has X-Ray Vision and a Scope, although the attribute is hidden in the Armory.

When reloading, the coding cube is taken out and replaced with another one. It outputs delay on some weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam like the Thunderer and the Reflector. It also receives a delay if those weapons were shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.

Strategy

Tips

  • Aim for the head to maximize damage.
  • Use a high fire rate weapon with this.
  • Use it similar to the Third Eye but with the Ricochet attribute.
  • Use this on tight corridors due to its Piercing Shot and Ricochet attributes.
  • A skilled enough player could use this weapon at long ranges due to its low recoil.
  • Use the scope when engaging enemies from a long-range.
  • It has the X-Ray vision attribute. You can use it to detect hidden enemies easier.
  • If you are skilled enough, you can use the X-Ray attribute to find a target then switch to a wall-break weapon such as the Thunderer.

Counters

  • If caught in a sniper duel, take time to aim first.
  • Strife while jumping to minimize the chances of getting hit.
  • Shotguns and weapons with area damage make quick work of users.
  • The lasers can be traced back to the user, use this to locate where the user is firing from.
  • Avoid engaging users in tight corridors due to the weapon's advantage of bouncing off walls.
  • Hiding is fine since the bullets do not actually wall-break. Be aware of the positions of a user at all times.
  • 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.
