Jet Tenderizer

The Jet Tenderizer is a Melee weapon introduced in the 14.0.0 update.

Appearance
The weapon appears to be a giant futuristic-looking mallet. It's color scheme consists of orange, turquoise, white, and silver. It has turquoise spikes protruding from it's front, and has a gunmetal-colored stump on the back.

When charging, the user will rapidly swing the hammer around, until the user lets go of the fire button, in which the user swings the hammer down.

Strategy
It deals high damage within a large area, paired with its high mobility but slow attack speed.

Tips

 * It is a Charge Shot-area damage weapon, so try to charge it fully to do the most damage.
 * This weapon can be used for crowd control, use this while rushing towards groups of players and charging down.
 * Its high mobility allows the user to travel around the map quickly, use this when traversing long distances such as the Defenders' fort in Siege.
 * Avoid getting picked off by Snipers and Primary users by flanking around them and avoiding open areas.
 * Like most area-damage melee weapons, it is effective against non-area damage melee weapons, except for the Combat Yo-Yo.
 * Like most Charge Shot weapons, the charged attack executes upon death, this is useful for going in suicide runs towards enemies, as it is possible to kill an enemy post-death if caught in the damage radius.

Counters

 * Pick off it's users from long range.
 * Avoid getting too close to the user, when the user is spotted, keep your distance and backpedal while firing.
 * Try to kill the user when out of its radius, as the charged attack is released upon death.
 * When caught in a melee duel, try strafing around the user but keep on backpedaling to avoid getting caught in a charged attack when the user is killed.
 * Shotguns and area damage weapons can be used to disorientate users and to weaken them as well.
