The Demon Catcher is a Sniper weapon released in the 17.6.0 update.

Description[]

It is a red, teal, and black colored weapon with devastatingly high damage, decent fire rate, good capacity, and low mobility. Moreover, this weapon posses both Input and Output Delay.

Appearance[]

The Demon Catcher appears to be a anime/demonic themed sniper rifle. It has a cosmetic blade at the front, adorned with crosses, a red glowing optic sight and a clip with flame particles on it. When seen from a first person perspective, the weapon's scope appears to be a large red eye which blinks as the player uses the weapon.

Performance[]

When shooting, the gun, which is only held by one hand, emitting bullets with fast travel time and a minimum Area Damage AreaDamage when the fire button is pressed. Like the Potato Implant, it has the ability of Super Punch SuperPunch, which means that it can fire a shot with an area attack after hitting 1 shot on a enemy. It also has a Deals More Damage to the Cursed MoreDamageToTheCursed ability, which suggests that it does more damage to enemies with status effects. In addition it's bullets burn enemies Burning. Despite the Super Punch's damage being devastating, its area of effect is still small. The front of the weapon smokes up when the Super Punch is ready. Note that it's Super Punch disappears if the user switches to another weapon. It can act weird by the weapon letting you randomly kill someone when you shoot on a wall.

When reloading, the player takes out the clip at the bottom of the gun and charge the weapon with it, then puts it back in. It is a one shot headshot and a two shot body shot if they survive the burning effect(low chance) or a one shot body shot with the burning effect to finish them off.

It has both Input Delay (Receives Delay) and Output Delay (Gives Delay). This means that the Demon Catcher will have a pull-up time whenever another weapon with Output Delay (Gives Delay) is shot, then quickly switched to it, and the Demon Catcher will also give pull-up time to any weapons with Input Delay (Receives Delay) if it is shot, then quickly switched to the Input Delay (Receives Delay) weapon. The duration of the pull-up time for both the Demon Catcher and the Input Delay (Receives Delay) weapon switched to after it depends on the previously used weapon's fire rate and the Demon Catcher's fire rate, respectively.

  • The Cursed effect allows to inflict more damage to finish off the opponents who survive the 1st shot.
  • When locked in a sniper duel, take your time to aim.
