“	It was called "The Death of Speedster" among the soldiers, as it isn't very hard to get quick opponents after some training.	”
—Stinger's Gallery description

The Stinger is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 9.4.0 update.

Description

It is a military rocket launcher that shoots rockets that can be manually guided by the player. It deals good damage at a decent firing rate with a decent capacity and decent mobility.

Appearance

It has a green-colored launch tube, barrel and handle. It also has a grey firing mechanism and a green guiding system. It also has yellow stripes on the end of the barrel and launch tube.

Performance

This weapon launches rockets with a steamy trail that follow the user's crosshair and the center-dot when aiming down the scope. So, the rockets in this weapon certainly have a bullet travel time and this weapon has a 4x scope, allowing longer ranged battles. When landing into a wall or a player, they leave an explosion.

When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by a spare one. There are no delay mechanics in this weapon.

Strategy

Tips

• Focus near the feet for a certain chance of hitting your target. Use the neighboring range.
• Use this weapon to severely damage heavily armored players and finish them off with ease.
• Always focus on the target when using this weapon.
• If you are quite skilled enough, you can use this in long ranges and against jetpack targets.
• Take advantage of its area damage by using this weapon against groups of enemies.
• Use it in medium range, so you can see where the missiles are going.
• Spam the weapon, to compensate its average damage.
• It is an ideal weapon to hit enemy armor hard.
• Use this to encounter Ghost Lantern/Soulstone users.
• This weapon runs out of ammo very quickly and you may find yourself with no ammo at all. Make sure to constantly reload and find ammo packs.
• Useful against groups of enemies, due to its area damage, tied with fairly fast fire rate.

Counters

• Use a Sniper to pick the user off.
• If the you are targeted, move away from the rocket and try to steer tightly around objects, this way, there will be a chance for the rocket to hit an object, instead of you.
• Avoid being in groups with friendly targets. As single rocket can lead into devastating damage or unexpected deaths.
• After the opponent fires, use an automatic weapon, like the Hellraiser, to easily headshot the opponent until they die.
• Don't forget about the time the rocket has like the Judge it has a limited flight time.
• Its rockets it lobs out does NOT have health, so shooting it will not do anything.
• When the opponent runs out of ammo, use this as your opportunity to attack.
• Keep attention to your surroundings since you will not know you will be hit by its users in surprise.
• Strafe around so you don't get hit, but be careful since this thing has manual guidance.
• If you are more confident, you can switch to a good melee weapon and rush the user. Aiming a weapon with travel time is extremely difficult, and escape would be impossible. Strafe side to side, as this weapon's rockets have a large turning radius. Make sure you don't stand right in front of them, or they can hit you directly with ease.

Trivia

• When you fire this at a pet with the flying attribute, it will circle around the pet until it explodes.
• The idea of manually guiding rockets (in gaming) dates back to the HECU RPG from the iconic PC and XBOX game known as Half Life.
• This was a new rentable weapon added in update 9.4.0. alongside the Exterminator.
• It seems to be a hybrid between the real life FIM-92 Stinger SAM Missile Launcher, and the SMAW Rocket Launcher, due to it having an attachable launch tube in the back.
• Despite being used to take down aircraft, it is used like a regular missile launcher and targets players instead. (Even more unusual is that in real life, the Stinger would need a heat signature to lock on to an enemy aircraft while the human body's heat would be low enough to allow the missile to just not lock on to it.)
  • Also it holds 4 missiles, even though the real life version only holds 1 missile.
  • And it has an ammo clip, even though in real life you load one rocket at a time.
• This weapon and its upgrades are the only weapons that have the manual guidance function.
  • However, it is no longer the only one in the 15.9.0 update, since weapons with such an attribute include the Airstrike Laptop and the Stinger 3000.
• It was not rentable for iOS.
• It has the counterpart weapon, which is the Judge.
