The Spider Sense is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 16.1.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time as part of the Superhero Trader’s Van in the Armory.
Description[]
It is a Spiderman themed rifle that shoots bullets with chain damage that slows down targets. It has medium-low damage, a slow fire rate, average capacity, and low mobility.
Appearance[]
It appears to be a Spiderman-themed rifle. It has a red colored body, with the back half of the body and stock being a blue color. It has a small telescopic sight that half red and half blue with orange lenses. The internal structure of the weapon as well as its magazine and muzzle are gray. Above its stock is a container full of spider silk.
Performance[]
This weapon shoots a colorful bullet with a relatively fast bullet travel time, an abstract web pattern appears as a muzzle flash on the nozzle when shooting. This bullet also has a Chain Damage attribute, which means that opponents will have their damage chained in sequence and transferred to other nearby opponents. These bullets can also slow down enemy players. Moreover, it possesses a 10x zoom which allows the player to fight in longer ranges.
When reloading, the player takes out the clip from the bottom and replaces it with another, with sticky spider silk connecting to the new clip.
It gives delay on some weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam like the Thunderer and the Reflector. It also receives a delay if those weapons were shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.
Strategy[]
Tips[]
- Use this against a group of enemies as it has Chain Damage.
- Aim for the head to maximize damage.
- It takes about 2 shots to kill someone, only use this to finish opponents off.
- Use the Slows Down Target attribute to your advantage. Slow down the enemy with its bullets then finish them off with another high-damage weapon.
- You can use it to support teammates from afar by hindering the enemy's mobility with its Slows Down Target trait, making them vulnerable to your teammates' weapons.
- Reload the weapon when you are safe as it was quite slow to swap out the magazine.
- Switch to an 85 or higher mobility weapon if you wish to traverse around the map quickly.
- It requires good timing skills to use as it’s projectiles do not have area damage. Its bullets are fast, but they still have travel time. Take note of this when using the weapon. You may need to anticipate enemy movements as well.
Counters[]
- Strafe around the enemy to waste their ammo, the gun only has 8 bullets in its magazine.
- Outrun the user with any 85 mobility weapon.
- Since it is a Sniper weapon, rush the user with an Area Damage weapon as the Spider Sense is for picking off targets from a distance.
- Defeat the user in long ranges with a Sniper weapon with better mobility.
