Tips[]
- This weapon, when fired, makes stone spikes protrude from the ground.
- This weapon deals very high area damage, has a medium hit speed, and has bad mobility.
- Use it against a group to take out multiple enemies.
Counters[]
- Since this weapon only makes spikes protrude in front of the player, make sure you get behind them then attack with large damage dealing melee/flamethrower.
- Attack the user from long-range, possibly with a sniper.
- Jump around so you don't get hit. But be careful while doing so since this has area damage.
