The Drilling Railgun is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 21.3.0 update.

Description

The Drilling Railgun is a Sniper weapon of the Mythical grade introduced and obtainable in the 21.3.0 Mining Battle Pass Season. It deals devastating damage per shot, with a fair capacity and mobility. Due to its incredible damage, its fire rate is abundantly slow.

Appearance

The Drilling Railgun appears to be an industrial-themed railgun with yellow/grey color scheme. It has a design similar to that of the Laser Bouncer, except with a larger barrel and a purple optic sight.

Performance

When the fire button is pressed, the player shoots the railgun and fires a small yellow driller which pierces through walls and players, dealing high damage.

This weapon has Input and Output Delay, meaning that this weapon gives and receives delay animations to and from other Weapons. Furthermore, it is impossible to 3cat with, as the firerate is so slow it's still recharging after cycling through 2 weapons.

Strategy

Tips

  • Aim for the head as this weapon one shots the head, but not the body. Use Burning Tiara and around level 7 modules to do more damage, making it 1 shot to body.
  • Be careful when aiming, as it has only one capacity per use, meaning that you will pay dearly if you misfire.
  • Switch to a backup weapon in case you are out of ammo.
  • Try to hide after shooting as this weapon's fire rate is shocking.
  • Avoid using Three Category Spam with this weapon, as it is practically impossible for 3cat usage.

Counters

  • Any high-capacity Sniper, area damage or Primary weapons can outclass its users.
  • Attack its users while they are reloading or cooling down.
  • Move around randomly so they will have a hard time aiming at you.
  • Try to flank the user with high mobility weapons so they cannot hit you.

Equipment Setups

Bring a weapon that can be deployed quickly in case you don't one shot them.

Trivia

  • This is one of the few snipers that does not feature a reload animation.
  • It has the slowest firerate for a sniper in the game, even beating out One Shot.
  • It looks very similar to Sentence, having many shared characteristics.
  • Like the Mammoth, it makes a sort of whirlwind/swirl, when it shoots.
  • It is the second Sniper to possess the KilledTargetExplodes attribute, the first being the Explosive Caramel.
    • It is also the first Sniper to feature the Rockets attribute.
    • Furthermore, it doesn’t actually have the Rockets attribute, as it has no projectile.
  • Similar to Sharp Snowflake, the player still puts the projectile back into the weapon when you are out of ammo, and you will not be able to shoot until you pick up more.
  • This would be considered a true railgun since it fires a physical projectile.
  • It having the Rockets attributes make no sense, as not only does it have no projectile, but shots go through surfaces.
