An interesting fact: the battery for this impulse rifle can charge a medium electro-car (and you will still have 1-2 shots in the mag)!

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • The high fire rate can empty a magazine fast and have slow reload, make sure only fire when you spot a target,
  • If absolutely need to spam the shots, wear Cowboy Hat and max Sniper Cape.
  • Take advantage of piercing shot, as it can shred enemies within a short burst.
  • To do so, get your targets into linear position and fire away.
  • Max out this weapon to your level (if high) for it to be useful in higher levels.
  • Aim for the head to increase Efficiency per shot.
  • It should be used as a high priority rifle, the rifle's high ammo cap, and fire rate should be monitored as it can drain itself quickly, and its mobility is also not good.

Counters[]

  • Taking cover is recommended when engaging a player with this weapon, due to the weapon's lack of ability to break through walls. Also, be sure to use a wall-break sniper so that way you can shoot through the wall such as the Anti-Champion Rifle. Be advised when using the Railgun to do the job, as the large recoil could cause it to misfire.
  • Attack the player with a high damaging, high fire rate weapon, whilst moving around.
  • Catch the sniper in close-quarter combat.
  • This weapon has a low amount of ammo, so rush the sniper after they fire off a good amount of rounds.
