Strategy
Tips
- Aim for the head to maximize damage.
- Maximize this weapon's upgrade for it to be useful in higher levels.
- This can shred down an opponent's armor if used correctly. Circling, strafing, jumping whilst aiming for opponent's head for headshots will help you when engaged in a duel. This could also potentially last longer due to the fact that this has 50 ammo capacity.
- It is effective against mobile targets on the ground or low-flying targets.
- Its accuracy is medium - low, it's not recommended to use it on long range even when executing burst firing.
- Though it's suitable on close-medium range.
Counters
- Pickoff its users from long ranges. This weapon lacks a scope, but skilled users could still hit you with this weapon due to its low recoil, so be aware of it.
- Be aware that if users with these weapons are left alone or not dealt with very quickly, they can actually tear down your armor, or even get you to very low health.
- If you're lower level, then use the Love Spell to reduce this weapon's damage, then follow up with the Hellraiser, Marksman, or even the Eindringling.
- High fire rate weapons can also take these users out easily, such as the Automatic Peacemaker (PG3D) or the Secret Forces Rifle.
- Shotguns can also easily counter these weapons in close ranges.
- Area damage weapons (specifically the ones that has knockback) are good counters to its users, as those will disorient their aim while dealing high amounts of damage.
- Try dodging their shots. Its fire-rate is not very good.
