—Weapon's description in Gallery |
The Ghost Lantern is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 10.6.1 update.
Description
It is a purple lantern that emits a large blue ghost from its mouth. This weapon is capable of a 1 shot kill as of the new update. It has an extremely slow fire rate, a fair capacity because of no reload, and average mobility.
Appearance
The weapon takes the form of a lantern in the shape of the face of a purple ghost, with glowing green eyes on the top section and on the bottom section, and a handle on top. Inside of the lantern is a glowing orb, presumably a ghost.
Performance
When fired, the "mouth" of the lantern opens and releases a blue ghost-like projectile, revealing extendable rods that act like the teeth of the lantern and contains a rotating orb, until it closes again. The projectile has an extremely slow bullet travel time, but has a very large hitbox.
It has no reloading mechanics, nor any delays.
Strategy
Tips
- This weapon is an excellent choice for closed corridors such as the main hallway in silent school or the changing rooms in Pool Party as it is very hard to avoid the big ghosts.
- Never use this weapon at long ranges as it has a bullet travel time, and the ghost will disappear after a while.
- This weapon is very powerful as of the 13.1.0 update, with its damage buffed back to a 1 shot kill.
- This weapon does travel through walls, so if you see a name tag over a wall that you are near, fire and hopefully get a kill.
- This weapon has a slow fire rate. After you fire it, switch to another weapon and use that weapon until you can fire again.
- Switch to another weapon when fired, as the slow charging time can make a user vulnerable.
- The weapon is useful for guarding choke points, hallways, and specific points on the map, especially in Point Capture and Flag Capture maps, as the slow moving projectile prevents attackers from proceeding.
Counters
