Strategy[]
Tips[]
- Use this weapon to damage a large group of enemies.
- This can be used to heavily damage some armored players.
- This weapon fires at a slow rate making it harder to kill enemies with high DPS weapons so stay at a fair distance
- This weapon reloads slow so keep track of your ammo in battle.
- When rocket jumping with it, time your shot as it will leave you killed or severely damaged in a wrongly-timed blast.
- Aim at the enemy's feet or the ground near the enemy for it has a decent area damage and could easily kill weakened and unarmored players.
- Due to its area damage, it is ideal against groups of enemies.
Counters[]
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- Avoid engaging a fight against a user of the gun if having low health or armor points. Due to the fact that they can easily finish you off.
- Use high mobility weapons and mobility increasing wear will help you outmaneuver these users (Ninja Tabi, Berserk Boots, Dark Force Saber, Carrot Sword, or the Elder Force Saber). Hitting a player in the middle of the air using the Bass Cannon is extremely hard, so keep jumping and moving.
- Attack when the users are reloading (as this weapon does not have a very high capacity) or having a fire rate cooldown after firing.
- This weapon fires slow so use high DPS weapons to kill the opponent quickly.
