Yup its that time, to learn how to use this weapon of weapons, once you maximize the potential of this bad boy, you can destroy teams just with the pull of the trigger(and held of course).

I wasn't even CLOSE to that explosion!

I wasn't even CLOSE to that explosion!

Details

  • Ammo- 4-5 Bursts(based on usage) to 8-10
  • Charge Time – 3 seconds
  • Length of Fire – 7 seconds
  • Effective Range – 5m- ∞ (as long as there is no ceiling or overhead)

This weapon is extremely powerful once you get it down pat, its all about aiming it without being hit or detected. Even when detected people underestimate its explosion radius. Using this weapon in the middle of battle is difficult, its hard to hit a moving target especially close to you. Always aim behind someone close to you, if done correctly the explosion will be far enough to keep you alive but close enough to demolish your enemy.

The Trick

  • The trick to using this weapon without missing, is to move the aimer slowly once your at 50% of a charge, if you move to fast it starts all over this helps give you the ability to move your initial strike, while not dropping your charge.
  • You can also hip fire this weapon which allows you to be mobile, if you move at half speed and don’t move your aimer much the charge will still complete.
  • Plus long ranging someone with a cocky attitude can be easy, just aim on their body sometimes using their body can help you complete an otherwise impossible shot.
  • Knowing when to cut it and run, or switch weapons, knowing when to back off or stop using this weapon is part of its power, if you can make enough space between you and your enemy, you can try again.
  • Oh don’t melee with this weapon, its slow making a double melee near impossible, and it doesn’t have the ability for a 1-2.
  • This weapon is great for inner conflict, and wingman screams inner conflict, a well placed strike can grant you four kills… no kidding.

Stretching the fire, if I miss with the strike I will drag the blast towards my opponent, this works great on day one, and spots in jacinto. This weapon is extremely difficult to learn but after a few games of patience, and some serious caution using it, you’ll get the feel and begin tearing the enemy apart! It really is all about staying calm and playing smart. The distance a new user should be fighting is around 15m, any closer than that and you should move back or switch weapons.

I’ll be happy to explain any of this further if you want to message me, my tag is Gizmoh and my email is superjunkmail71@gmail.com
