Strategy
Tips
- Use this to mow down heavily armored players due to its high damage.
- Due to its Area Damage attribute, it is effective for keeping Melee users away from you.
- The path of projectiles are useful for crowd control and area denial.
- This weapon is devastating in long corridors, so make the most of it there.
- If an opponent survives a shot, switch to a fast-firing automatic or a high-damaging sniper to finish him/her off while the slowness effect is still effective.
- This weapon is very effective in close quarters maps such as Pool Party or Silent School.
Counters
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges.
- Area damage weapons and shotgun weapons decimate users at close range.
- Do not try to attack its users in a linear position, since the consecutive explosions will finish you off even in a medium distance.
- Using the Jetpack or rocket-jumping can render this weapon useless due to its limited range.
- Try running and jumping while attacking to avoid getting hit by the user's attacks, especially from the area damage attacks.
- If attacked from behind, escape from the user while firing back at them.
- Keep jumping to minimize the damage taken when the user attacks.
- Flank around the user and attack from their sides, so he will have a hard time trying to retaliate you.
- Use the Reflector (Gadget) to make your opponent take damage as they hit you with this weapon.
