Performance[]

This weapon shoots an explosive bullet with a medium bullet travel time. The projectile is explosive and has a fiery splash radius on impact. It can do rocket-jumping, as long as the user jumps, then fires at the ground.

When reloading, the player takes out the clip which is then replaced by another. It has no delay mechanics.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Bear in mind that it can't inflict headshots, due to it having the Area Damage attribute.
  • To benefit its Area Damage trait, it is recommended if fired against groups of enemies.
  • Use the scope for ease of long-range sniping. Keep in mind that its projectiles have travel time, so be sure to lead your shots.
  • Avoid rocket jumping with this weapon since you will do self-damage if you do so.
  • It sets enemies on fire upon hit, granting additional damage over time to the target(s). Use this to weaken enemies and lower their overall health pool.

Counters[]

  • Any Primary weapon with a fast fire rate can overwhelm its user(s).
  • Pick off its user(s) from long ranges while unnoticed.
  • Be warned that it can be proven effective in long-range in the hands of experienced users.
  • Attack the users from behind.
  • Attack the user while he is reloading.
  • Watch out engaging its users when you are low on health as its Burning attribute can finish you off.
