Strategy
Tips
- Go for headshots to increase the damage.
- Try to pick up as many ammunition packs as you can because this weapon will run out of ammo quickly. Also, avoid spraying and praying, or else, you won't converse enough ammunition for potential kills.
- Attack weakened players for better ammunition conserving and quicker kill registering.
- Use this in close to medium range.
- Strafe left and right while killing players.
- Switch to an 85 mobility weapon to traverse around the map since this weapon has only 50 mobility.
- It has really low capacity, so make sure you land your hits. This can't even get two kills per clip if you land every headshot
Counters
- Try to move away from the person and snipe him/her with a weapon having a scope.
- Rush into the person and use an area damage weapon or melee weapon to take that person out.
- Jump around so as to lure its users into wasting his ammo. However, do it in a random pattern so he will not easily estimate your position while firing.
Recommended Maps
Equipment Setups
Have a good mobility weapon and a good efficient, high capacity weapon as well because you will quickly run out of ammo.
