—Weapon description in the Gallery

The Gladiator is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 15.2.0 update. It is also available through the Time Traveler Event Set, along with the Viking, and Cursed Pirate.

Description[]

It is an ancient Roman-themed sniper that shoots flechettes that can slow down, bleed and Lifesteal the target. This weapon deals a low amount of damage for a mythical sniper, a slow rate of fire, an average capacity, and relatively average mobility. It has no scope which is rare for a sniper.

Appearance[]

The Gladiator is an ancient-themed weapon, which is mostly polished gold in color. It has a red section at the top which resembles the plume of an ancient Roman gladiator‘s helmet. The Gladiator has a red flag at the bottom of the barrel. This flag has a golden imprint of a bird on it, which may represent Senatus Populusque Romanus. The Gladiator's magazine is open, showing ammunition that resembles poison darts.

Performance[]

This weapon shoots flechettes (when shooting, red steam is emitted on the gun's nozzle, but that is cosmetic) with a bullet travel time that is NOT instant and it doesn't have an optic sight, despite its weapon category. However, this weapon's flechettes do have a Lifesteal attribute, which steals only the health of the players; a bleeding attribute, which makes the players temporarily lose extra health; and a slows down target attribute, which makes an affected opponent have lower mobility for a few seconds.

When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by a spare one. It has input delay, which means that it outputs delay on weapons related to Three Cat Spam.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Use this weapon similar to the Good Doctor or the Dracula.
  • To conserve ammo, engage the users at close ranges.
    • Note that this weapon also has travel time, so use it in a short to medium range.
  • Since this weapon has the Lifesteal attribute, try attacking someone when you are at low health.
  • Use this as a utility weapon, it can not dominate by itself.
    • This weapon is similar to a makeshift special weapon.
  • The Lifesteal and bleeding attributes give this weapon extra points on the utility side, making it perfect for weakening or finishing off enemies.
  • Use any other sniper but this one because of the huge travel time, no scope, and low damage for a sniper.

Counters[]

  • The bullet of the Gladiator travels slowly so you can just dodge them at long and medium ranges.
  • Mess up their aim by shooting area damage weapons (or shotguns in close ranges) at them.
  • Strafe around so that the travel time bullets cannot hit you.
  • Pick off the user from long ranges.

Recommended Maps[]

All maps apart from Knife Party and Block Crash can support this weapon.
