Description
It is a red and black machine gun that shoots regular bullets that can poison the player. This weapon has high efficiency, a fast fire rate, a medium-capacity, however, paired with a fast reload and average mobility. This weapon has a secret slow down target ability.
Appearance
It is a black and red re-skin version of the Casanova.
The weapon has a dark red/black, extendable stock, handle, magazine, handguard and reflex sight as well as a black receiver with dark red decals and on the suppressor.
Performance
This weapon shoots regular bullets with instant bullet travel time. These bullets also have a poison effect, which makes the opponent take extra damage overtime for a few seconds. Moreover, this weapon features a 4x zoom optic sight, allowing to fight in longer ranges.
When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by another. The reloading time is around 1 second which is quite fast compared to other Primary weapons. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon performs well at all ranges. At medium and long-range, using the scope is recommended.
- Try to use the scope that comes along with it at further ranges as the crosshairs do not fully close when standing still.
- You could fire a few shots from this weapon to slow down the enemy and then finish them with a sniper.
- Take advantage of the poison ability, as it an finish off weakened opponents and clog up their screen.
- Strafe around when using this weapon so other players, especially snipers, cannot hit you.
- Do not use this weapon the entire duration of a match as it will make a lot of players very angry about spamming this weapon. (It is notorious due to its power)
- Aim at the head for maximum DPS.
- It sports fast reload, pairing it with Cowboy Hat and Storm Trooper Cape (PG3D) to benefit it the most.
- You can use this as a makeshift sniper rifle.
- It's recommended to use max Primary booster setup for speeding up the kill rate if using this. However, it still does great without it.
- Insert modules and upgrade it to mythical to (pretty much) restore it to its unnerfed state (about a 6 body and 4 head) which would destroy everyone.
- If you are pay to win and want this but don't have it, you can buy all its parts for 19.99.
Counters
- This weapon can be rather hard to counter due to its power and versatility, however some tips are listed here.
- Rocket jump when slowed down so the enemy cannot easily land a second shot on you.
- Try to snipe the enemy from an unseen place. Engaging in head-to-head combat is not recommended as this weapon is extremely powerful. Make sure the user of the Black Mamba doesn't spot you- remember it has a scope.
- Counter this with other primary weapons such as the Laser Assistant or even some shotguns such as Ultimatum in close range. If all else fails, use Black Mamba yourself.
- Use Stealth Bracelet so even when slowed down, the enemy will have a hard time hitting you.
- Area damage weapons can be used to mess up Black Mamba user's aim.
