Revision as of 19:35, 22 March 2020
The Ultra Beam is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 15.6.0 update. It can be obtained for being the top player in the Pro League tournament.
Description
It is a futuristic sniper that shoots a powerful blue beam with a wall break attribute. It has good damage, a low fire rate, a below-average capacity, and decent mobility.
Appearance
The weapon has a neon or future type look to it with a long black/gray scope with a little red glass and a big circle near the end of the gun.
Performance
This weapon shoots a light blue laser beam that can go through walls. Moreover, this weapon possesses an optic sight, which allows it to take out players in long range.
When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by another.
It receives a delay if weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam like the Thunderer and the Reflector are shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.
Strategy
Tips
- Use it like a beefed up Prototype or a weakened Prototype S, every shot must count even when maxed out, as it has less ammo than both of them.
- Aim for the head to maximize damage.
- Like most similar weapons, the wall break is not that powerful. It should be only utilized if the enemy is taking cover behind a medium object, such as behind a ram’s wheel.
- The Same applies to countering weapons in which blocks projectiles such as traps from the Trapper, Cyber Slicer or Barrier Rifle.
- Use the scope when engaging users at farther distances.
- This weapon can also be used for Three Category Spam, although it does have a delay when switching between some weapons.
Counters
- Be cautious when fighting any player wielding this weapon, because only the top players in the game that have won the Pro League can obtain this weapon. Though that is not the case anymore as it can also be obtained via coupons.
- When caught in a sniper duel, take time to aim while strafing to avoid getting hit.
- Strafe as much as possible to waste their ammo.
- Avoid being out in the open when there is a sniper present.
- The 0xbadc0de is a great counter, paired with the Shadow Spell, Multitaskers or Impulse Rifle, it can be proven very difficult to counter.
- A close range shotgun (e.g. the Ultimatum) or a scoped Masterpiece Musket (at long range) can be a good choice if you lack instant travel weapons for your backup or special.

Trivia
- In the update log, it was referred to as the "most powerful weapon". However, it performs similarly to other weapons in its class.
- It can only be obtainable once the player has entered the Pro League and is in the top position during the tournament.
- Now it's the top 3 players.
- When firing, this weapon sounds very familiar to a typical Sniper Rifle from another game, Star Warfare: Alien Invasion.
