Dragon Breath

The Dragon Breath is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 8.0.0. update. It is the first form of the Dragon Breath.

Appearance
The Dragon Breath is a yellow, orange, and red weapon that looks like a tuning fork. The ammo pack is orange and is at the back of the weapon. The handle and grip are brown. At the top of the weapon are three red fins and a purple dragon eye. The nozzle inside is grey and it shoots out a red laser beam.

Strategy
The Dragon Breath is a laser weapon with a lot of capacity and mobility, this makes it good in almost any situation.

Tips

 * Aim for the head of targets to maximize damage.
 * This weapon is perfectly accurate at long range. This can be used to eliminate snipers, albeit with difficulty without a scope.
 * It has a large amount of capacity, but use it wisely when attacking groups of enemies as the ammo can be drained very quickly.


 * The Dragon Breath has a long reload time. Have a reliable secondary weapon if the ammo runs dry or if an enemy catches you reloading.


 * This weapon always travels directly down the center of the crosshair. Be sure to aim first at opponents before taking aim to conserve ammo.

Countering

 * Move around a lot and stay mobile, or even rocket jump if you need to. The weapon's pinpoint accuracy can be a disadvantage when fighting against mobile opponents.
 * The Dragon Breath has a long reload time. Try to waste the enemies' ammo and attack when he/she is reloading.
 * If you have to retreat, do so while returning fire, as the Dragon Breath offers high mobility to chase you down with.
 * Equip armor if you can/already haven't. This weapon will mow down unarmored opponents in the blink of an eye.
 * Be sure to find cover to avoid getting burnt to a crisp (common sense really).
 * The gun is quite loud, So if you hear a roaring-like sound, stay aware. (It may have a chance to be a false alarm and be a Chainsaw).
 * If you see a red beam that doesn't disappear after 2 seconds or disappears really quickly, that's a Dragon Breath.
 * Most enemies don't stop firing the weapon when attacking groups of enemies, so avoid the laser beam as good as possible and attack when the enemy has to reload.
