The Nanobots Rifle was a Special weapon introduced in the 12.5.0 update and deleted in the 15.2.0 update.

Description[]

It was an orange and silver rifle that would shoot nanobots with homing missiles. It had high damage combined with the bleeding attribute, an average rate of fire, low capacity, and very low mobility.

Appearance[]

It appeared as an orange and silver rifle. On the front, there was a large silver barrel. In the middle, there was some orange and in the middle of that part, it showed a black bug. In the end, there was a silver and orange handle, a red trigger, an orange end, and an orange and red magazine.

Performance[]

The player would hold it with both hands and shoot small, nanobot particles with very small area damage, bleeding and homing missile.

When reloading, the clip from the top would be taken out and replaced with a spare clip.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • This weapon can instantly kill golden armour users and below.
  • Avoid being too close to walls, the projectiles will hit them and decreases effectiveness.
  • Claustrophobic (tight) spaces may help you easily kill your target(s), considering that the projectiles do not hit the wall.
  • Use swarms of missiles to increase damage.
  • Use this against the closest player for faster killing and ammunition saving.
  • Because the Nanobots Rifle fires homing missiles (or homing nanobots), use this to dispose of enemies from far distances.
  • Spam the weapon. If you want to be a fair player though, only spam in the presence of a try-hard player.
  • This is useful for taking down jetpack users, hence the flying, homing missiles.
  • This weapon has a very slow travel time, so it is most effective in close to medium range, with no blocking walls. It is ineffective at long range due to the projectiles disappearing before it can reach the player.

Counters[]

  • Pickoff its users from long ranges.
  • Strafe a lot, as this weapon's projectiles are slow enough to be noticed.
  • This weapon's projectiles block bullets infinitely, meaning it is impossible to kill or harm the user unless you ambush them from behind or use a weapon that has the wall break effect such as the Prototype.
  • As the nanobots memorise your last location, quickly get out of that location.
  • Strafe around a sharp corner or go through a doorway to avert the nanobots' path.
  • You can actually destroy the nanobots by hitting them with the Barrier Rifle's rockets.
  • Use high mobility weapons such as Dark Force Saber to outmanoeuvre the Nanobots, as they are slow.
  • Try quickly turning near a wall to let the nanobots crash into the wall.
  • This weapon has atrocious mobility, therefore strafe and jump around and use speedy weapons with high mobility to render the user defenceless. Keep in mind that the user can quickly switch to a different weapon with higher mobility to evade, so watch out for that.
    • Due to this, you can actually use homing missiles yourself to counter them. The opponent will be too slow (considering that they don't switch to another weapon) to run away.

Recommended Maps[]

Close ranged maps such as Pool Party and Toy Factory.

Equipment Setups[]

Equip a long-ranged weapon and/or a high mobility weapon to escape when reloading.
