The Hero is a Primary weapon introduced in the 13.2.1 update.
Appearance
It is a light machine gun, with some grey accents, and has a large box magazine that feeds ammo. One part of the box is broken. It is a reskin of the Serious Argument, as it shares the almost exact same look, the only difference being the lack of a Patriot-themed paint.
Strategy
It has a slow rate of fire, but in return has a great capacity, making this gun very ammo-efficient. It has high damage and very good accuracy due to the aforementioned low fire rate.
Tips
- Run around your opponent shooting at them, as the great mobility and decent capacity will let you keep this up for a fairly long time.
- The Hero has a good rate of fire, but its low ammo capacity causes it to burn through ammo fast. Make every bullet count, as a few good shots can go a long way.
- This weapon is good for siege attackers, so keep moving on top of the ram while shooting at the opponents.
- Keep your shots count so as to conserve ammo while firing.
Counters
- Use an area damage weapon such as the Ghost Lantern or Soulstone to quickly kill them, though the user may switch to a high mobility weapon to flee.
- Attack a user in close range, this gun suffer greatly due to the low rate of fire.
- Use a flamethrower or shotgun with at least decent mobility to constantly damage them.
Supported Maps
Medium to long ranged maps such as Sky Islands and Christmas Town.
Weapon Setups
Equip a good medium ranged weapon and a good close ranged weapon.
