The Sneaky Pistol is a Backup weapon added in the 17.1.0 update as part of the Krampus Lottery.

Description[]

The Sneaky Pistol is a great backup for any playstyle, with immense damage and a crippling combination of effects, it is definitely a reliable and consistent backup. Despite it’s fixed delay, it can still be used for 3CatSpam, although mostly in the form of applying the Disable Jump and switching to an Area Damage or Shotgun weapon to finish them off. It is great in conjunction with a high-damage sniper, as one shot with the sneaky pistol is enough for any mid-damage weapon to finish the job. Overall, The Sneaky Pistol is one of the most powerful casual Back-Up weapons currently obtainable, and is highly recommended for all players interested in casual gameplay while still capable of being used in 3CatSpam.

Appearance[]

The weapon is a handheld pistol, with the front coated in a luminescent blue substance. It follows a black and teal color scheme. Like its primary companion, the Ice Chaser, at the barrel seems to have icicles hanging at the bottom and on top of it has a teal gemstone-like bayonet. It has several red markings, three of them directly above three navy and gold banner. Besides that, it takes on the form of your average small pistol.

Performance[]

This weapon shoots light blue bullets with an instant bullet travel time with low recoil and perfect accuracy. It is a 1-2 kill in the body depending on the modules and critical damage chance, and a one-shot to the head. This weapon possesses the gadget blocker GadgetBlocker and jump-disabling DisableJumps attributes, so when the bullets land on the player, they cannot jump, and at the same time, they cannot use their gadgets and module combinations. This weapon also does more damage to the cursedMoreDamageToTheCursed (Players who are cursed have a green skull above their heads).

When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by another.

It has a Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Sneaky Pistol will always have a pull-up delay lasting around a half of a second.

Strategy[]

Tips[]

  • Use this as a primary weapon. Despite being a backup, its damage and effects are so effective it can be used solely for the entirety of the match given that you know the locations of the ammo drops in the map.
  • Because of the lack of ammunition, use the Drum Magazine for more ammo. Also use the Critical Damage module for a chance to one shot body.
  • Aim at the head to maximize damage.
  • The weapon has the ability to disable gadgets, this is useful against enemies who heavily rely on gadgets.
  • Beware of its 0.5 second Fixed Delay, therefore try to pull-up this weapon when there are no enemies attacking so as to not risk getting killed while not being able to fire back.
  • Keep in mind that when players use stronger armor like the Gold Clan Armor or the Developer Armor, this will be a 2-3 shot kill.
  • The Disable Jump attribute does not stop rocket jumping, but it will make the rocket jump a lot shorter and harder to control as it disables the mid-air jump.
  • To counter 3CatSpam users, it is recommended to use a high jump boost armor such as the Developer Armor or Bouncy Armor paired with Invisibility, Reflector or Jetpack to worsen their aim.
  • Pair this weapon with a Cluster Bomb heavy such as the Christmas Ultimatum, a slowing weapon such as the Bubble G.U.M 01 and/or a high DPS primary such as the Sleipnir to maximise its attributes.
  • Use this to complete any back up Clan Tasks and Battle Pass Tasks and Tips challenges due to its high damage and disable jumps attribute.

Counters[]

  • Pick off the user at a long-range.
  • Area damage and shotguns make quick work of its users.
  • Strafe while jumping to minimize the damage from the weapon.
  • Like most Backup weapons, being at farther ranges is effective for minimizing the chances of being hit.
  • Flank around the user then use a Melee weapon to deal quick damage and then pull back.
  • If hit, pull back quickly while firing until the effects wear off.
  • A fatal area damage weapon like the Christmas Ultimatum is good to keep if you are prohibited by the debuffs.
