This article describes a weapon. If you're looking for the gadget, see Reflector (Gadget).
The Reflector is a Special weapon introduced in the 13.2.1 update.
Appearance
It is a yellow/red reskin of the Laser Bouncer. It has yellow and black details with red laser aura.
Strategy
It works exactly like its predecessor and it is capable of a 1 to 2 shot kill.
Tips
- Use this weapon similar to the Laser Bouncer.
- Aim for the head to maximize damage.
- Use a high fire rate weapon with this, to compensate this weapon's mediocre fire rate.
- Use a weapon with higher mobility such as the Dark Force Saber Up2.
- The shots from the weapon can ricochet two times off of objects. If you're skilled enough, you can just shoot the floor in hopes for the laser to ricochet into the enemy.
- Use this on tight corridors due to its piercing shots and ricochet attributes.
- A skilled enough player could use this weapon at long ranges due to its low recoil.
- With its ricochet trait, one can kill an enemy from long-range by its bounce, with a good projection where the enemy will go and the laser's trajectory.
- Pair this up with weapons like Thunderer and Anti-Champion Rifle to initiate the infamous 3 Category Spam, although switching to those weapons when fired will trigger a pullout delay. A more useful strategy that doesn't have delay is to use melee switch, which is a form of Three Category Spam where the player switches to melee then another weapon then melee and so on. The Reflector works really well for melee switching.
Counters
- The weapon leaves the trace of the laser so follow the laser to track their location and use a high fire rate and high damage weapon to kill them. (e.g. Ultimatum). Do not attempt this if they are a cat spammer.
- Jump around to avoid being shot. Rocket jump if you cannot move around fast enough.
- Avoid small spaces as its users will take advantage of its ricochet trait.
- Using area damage weapons can easily mess up the user's aim.
- This weapon does not have a spread or an area damage, so you could try to counter this weapon by getting close to the person and using a shotgun, flamethrower or other high-efficiency weapons for close ranges.
- If you know that enemies have this weapon, avoid small and short hallways, since they could easily hit you.
- Highly skilled players could either snipe you or easily hit you in open areas, so make unusual patterns to decrease the chances of you getting hit by its lasers.
- When engaging a player with the Reflector, be aware the enemy can hit you with the weapon's ricochet bouncing off walls. Try to keep the fight in an open area, which render the ricochet feature useless.
- 3 cat spamming against the user works, too.
