The Comet is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 15.7.0 update. It can be obtained for a limited time during the Christmas holidays in the Armory. It was then also available from the trader for a limited time}.
Appearance
It has a black & blue body with purple overtones, with bluish arrows pointing towards a majestic barrel made of a blending purplish-pink crystal shaped like a comet, (hence the name), attached to the body via a shiny bluish barrel, the same color as its small magazine. it has a relatively large scope with with another cometary crystal similar to that on the barrel attached to the top of the scope. It seems to be a remodel of the Royal Sniper Rifle and works like the Particle Accelerator.
Strategy
This weapon deals high damage, has a decent fire rate, a moderate-low capacity, and low mobility.
Tips
- This weapon is a two-shot headshot kill, and a three shot body-shot kill.
- Use it like the Alien Sniper Rifle, the Particle Accelerator, the Laser Bow, and the Antivirus since the Comet functions similarly to the all of these weapons.
- Useful for making trick shots (similar to the Laser Bouncer), if used correctly.
- To benefit from the ricochet ability, use this in hallways if you want to make trick shots on enemies, but be aware the laser only bounces off ONCE before disappearing when hitting the next wall.
- Pair this with a backup weapon in case it runs out of ammo.
Counters
- Snipe enemies from a distance.
- Use a high mobility melee to take advantage of the weapon's 60 mobility.
- Take a primary weapon with a scope, such as the Night Hunter or Secret Forces Rifle, to hunt users from a distance.
- Use this weapon in large maps.
- This weapon does not have very high mobility, so equip boots that allow double jumping, or boots that increase jump height.
- Use a shotgun to take its user out.
Supported Maps
Weapon Setups
Equip a Primary or Backup weapon for close range battles.
Trivia
- Considering the shape, the design itself is heavily influenced by the Royal Sniper Rifle.
- This weapon was primarily equipped by high-level players for a short period of time, as it optimised the method known as 3 cat spamming. A counter to this method was introduced, and the weapons usage has decreased sizeably.
- This weapon used to have a light blue muzzle flash that emits particles similar to that the Royal Sniper Rifle emits when firing, however in the gallery update, the muzzle flash was changed to magenta-whitish snowflake-like particles (possibly due to comets composing mostly of ice) and particle effects that are accelerated out of the barrel and moves along, parallel to the fired laser beam that looks similar to the ones the Black Hole emits when firing.
- When an opponent is killed with this weapon, contrary to the guns main color theme and laser color, the opponent gets vaporized into blue dust.
- This weapon is the forth weapon of the “Space Threats” theme, along with the Saturn, Venus & Mercury, Asteroid, and Meteor Shower.
