Combat Gauntlet

The  is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 16.1.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time as part of the Superhero Trader's Van event in the armory.

Appearance
It weapon comes in two parts; the gauntlet and the blaster mounted on top of the gauntlet.

The gauntlet itself sports a red/yellow colour scheme with grey digits.

The blaster on top is mainly yellow, with a light blue energy cell on the back.

When fired, it shoots out a light blue blast.

Tips

 * Simply having it in your loadout gives bonus armor.
 * The weapon has a decent fire rate for a Heavy weapon and 10 shots, meaning that one is able to take on multiple enemies at once before reloading.
 * Its rockets have the area damage effect, so taking out a group or team of enemies makes the weapon's rockets more effective when in use.
 * Try to aim at the ground near enemies so they can't easily avoid the rockets.
 * Enemies can easily see the rockets at long range, so fire the rockets instantly to give them a hard time at avoiding the rockets (to ensure the enemies' death quickly), or sneak attack them from behind.

Counters

 * Pick off the user at long range.
 * Area damage weapons and shotguns can quickly kill users at close range.
 * Try bunnyhopping to minimize the chances of being hit.


 * Rockets are easy to dodge in long distances. So pick off its users in medium-long ranges to prevent them raining rockets at you.
 * Attack its users while they are vulnerable. Like while they are reloading or standing still.
 * Use high mobility or low-weight weapons to dodge, evade and or escape the rockets fired from these users. Weapons like the Dark Force Saber perform well in dodging and maneuverability.
