  • To well-benefit the Area Damage, 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.
