This revolver is the true beauty. It uses the shine of stars as ammunition. Which is why each shot is tremendously powerful.

—Weapon's description in Gallery

The Exterminator is a Backup weapon introduced in the 9.4.0 update.

Description[]

It possesses a 2x Scoped and WallBreak. It has an average fire rate. It has low capacity and mobility. It's a two shot to the body and head without Elemental Modules.

It has a re-skinned version called the Thunderer. Both of them have a magazine and rail which represent an eye and a mouth.

Appearance[]

Its a railgun that resembles a pistol. It also has a polished wood handle with a golden bottom. The base is golden and blue, the ammo cell is blue, and the 2x Scoped is golden with a blue Crosshair (it is not blue, but instead white when aiming down the sights). The heightened tip at the end (used to align the iron sights if it did not have a scope) is a bright turquoise/teal. The magazine and rail resemble an eye and an alligator-like jaw, respectively, skin to the Thunderer.

Performance[]

When shooting, the gun which is held by the player's right hand emits a blue laser beam with instant travel time. It pierces through walls. Its damage decreases when penetrating through walls. It also features a 2x Scoped, if its user wishes to attack enemies from long range.

Whenever the player shoots the weapon, the hammer at the back moves, which is the same for any other revolver.

When reloading, the player flips out the barrel, takes out the existing ammo clip, puts in another one and flips the barrel upwards, locking it in place.

It gives delay on some weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam like Anti-Champion Rifle and Reflector. It also receives a delay if those weapons were shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Use the Scoped to aim for the head. It's best to use in mid-range combat and for ambushes due to its low firing rate.
  • The WallBreak can be utilized to kill players who try to break for cover.
    • Bear in mind that the damage of it's shots will be reduced when shooting enemies through walls.
  • Be sure to equip an 85 mobility weapon as the Exterminator's mobility is not optimal for movement.
  • Try not to miss any shots, if you do, you will be at a major disadvantage due to the slow fire rate. The enemy you were shooting at also might discover your location, due to the traced shots.
  • Use a Rocket Jump weapon to boost yourself into the air, then fire downwards on other players so that it is harder for them to hit you.
  • This is a popular choice in Three Category Spam, the other alternative being the Thunderer. This is because with some weapon combinations, it doesn't have any delay.
  • Usually use this when players are low on health or standing still.
  • Use the Scoped to your advantage when fighting from long ranges.
  • Aim for the head.

Counters[]

  • Run around the player in close range. Attack with an AreaDamage weapon, such as Christmas Ultimatum or Deadly Beat.
  • Strafe around the user
  • Due to the slow firing rate and long reloading, use a high fire rate weapons, such as Golden Friend.
  • A long-range Sniper weapon can outrange this weapon, as this weapon actually has a limited range.

Recommended Maps[]

Equipment Setups[]

Equip a short-range weapon to attack at close ranges.

Popularity[]

This weapon is undoubtedly one of the most popular weapons in the game. When accessible to many players (like in the Armory at a cost that many players can afford), many players would want to buy it. It is often loved and wanted by many players, but others dislike it due to its performance and/or its popularity.

Some of the old players originally used the Exterminator because this is the first backup weapon to have a similar performance of being a mini-sniper that shoots a laser that goes through walls. Then, when 12.5.0 came out, players started using the Thunderer, which has a similar performance to the Exterminator. Though, nowadays, both weapons are used equally.

Changelog[]

9.4.0

  • Initial release as a rentable weapon for Android users only.

10.0.7

  • Although this weapon's beam has the same ability as the Prototype's and Laser Minigun's, the beam does not stay mid-air. It vanishes right after you shoot the gun. However, this was changed in this update, where the beams have the same property. Exterminator's beam is blue color.

10.1.0

  • The Exterminator was nerfed in this update; changes include a mobility drop from 110 to 105 (60 to 55 in modern standards), the price was raised from 133 Gem to 177 Gem, and the 4x scope was downgraded to a 2x scope. However, now the price is reduced again to 215 Coin, making this weapon being extremely worth the price.

16.1.0

  • Its ammunition size was reduced.

 Trivia[]

  • Its fire rate is a bit higher than that of the Prototype.
  • Despite being a railgun, it uses magnetic rails and possibly coils to accelerate a metal slug on the mach velocities, causing the massive kinetic damage. In reality, this weapon or Thunderer would effortlessly break one's arm when fired due to the recoil. However, due to the unrealistic physics of this game, it doesn't affect the player.
  • Like the Thunderer, the revolver-styled hammer on the back of the "receiver" is unnecessary due to the weapon being Laser-Powered.
  • The picture angle of the Exterminator compared to the Thunderer is slightly downwards.
  • While the developers were making this weapon, while creating the laser, they had probably copied the Prototype's laser code and changed the color to light blue. They had probably also copied the Prototype's sound code while making the sound.
  • This weapon would not even be considered a true railgun due it firing no physical projectile.
