Electro Blast Rifle

The Electro Blast Rifle is a sniper rifle introduced in the 10.0.0 update. It can be found in the Sniper section of the shop. It is the first form of the Electro Blast Rifle.

Appearance
It is an energy-based sniper rifle with a yellow and blue colored scope, a yellow and black body, an ammo clip with a yellow lightning bolt on it (possibly a battery), and a long black barrel with four black rings and a yellow end surrounding a long blue laser propagation tube. It also has a 10x zooming scope and an area damage effect.it is a re-skin of the Impulse Sniper Rifle.

Strategy
It is powerful, with a terrifyingly high damage, along with an normal fire rate and capacity. These combine to make it an excellent long-range dedicated sniper, and thus should be used at high vantage points at far ranges.

Tips

 * It is best used for long range attacks with your scope, allowing for more accurate shots against enemies. Make sure to treat small and close range areas with caution.
 * Try to get a headshot while attacking an enemy for better damage.
 * When preparing your next shot, try jumping around erratically so that enemies can't aim at you well enough to get a clear shot.
 * If you are not a good shot, the rifle deals area damage. Aim near their feet or at the wall (if the enemy is close to a wall).
 * It has a slow reload speed, so it is recommended to equip/buy a Sniper Cape (it increases reload speed for snipers).

Counters

 * It has a low rate of fire, so while the opponent attacking you is preparing the next shot, attack them with a strong weapon to deal more damage to them.
 * Avoid short range areas and attack the opponent at long range, where it is possibly harder for him/her to kill you when you attack.
 * Area damage weapons can make short work with its users.
 * Try to stay away from nearby walls, as the enemy can shoot the wall and land a hit.

Weapon Setups
Use a weapon or item that has good mobility for easier traveling around maps, as this on its own is not good for relocations. You may also want to have a fast-firing primary and backup for when you're in a clutch situation, and a Premium that is strong in rocket-jumping.
