Tips[]

- Pair this with a high damage back-up weapon, like the Thunderer or Exterminator.
- Make sure to reload frequently.
- Use this up to medium range since it does not have a scope.
Counters[]

- Strafe while jumping to minimize the chances of getting hit.
- Shotguns and weapons with area damage make quick work of its users.
