MIB Noisy Cricket

The MIB Noisy Cricket, or Noisy Cricket is the 17th gun available, it is unlocked at level 25 and costs  ( as part of the MIB Special Agent Gear) It deals high damage, has moderate range, very high accuracy and agility and a single bullet in a clip.

Strategy
The Noisy Cricket is able to wipe out multiple enemies due to the multiple blastwaves that quickly follow behind, allowing even near hits to deal heavy damage. Although considered to be effective against multiple enemies, it struggles the ability to completely kill enemies with 15% or more health boosts.



Another downside is that the sheer might of this weapon pummels you backwards, putting medals out of your reach and leaving you vulnerable for 1.5 seconds before you can retaliate; therefore, if you want to get the medal, when you're in front of one, remember to face your back against the medal and shoot, as your gun will propel you backward (but remember to not try this when there's enemy around you). In addition, the force of the weapon will increase the reloading time needed before you can fire yet another shot. Due to these downsides, a way to survive a fight between an enemy is to go behind walls as protection as the knockback will escort you to a safer place for a short amount of time. If lucky and durable enough, you can charge into a player wielding an explosive weapon and then shoot after he damages himself with his own explosion.

It is also advised to fire at shotgun users at medium range as they will kill you while you are immobilized. So then you will fire the second shot which will kill the player before he manages to get to you. If at close range, use the knockback to confuse the enemy where you're at since you travel at a fast pace.

Overall, the Noisy Cricket is an okay, but unique weapon with some unwanted downsides.

Trivia

 * The Noisy Cricket here seems to be lessened in fire power compared to the official MIB equivalent.
 * The actual Noisy Cricket can be seen obliterating a huge truck in the movie while the Respawnables' version of the Noisy Cricket cannot kill a player with 15% health boost or more.
 * The weapon's harsh recoil, in the MIB movie, can be seen sending the protagonist Agent J flying over tremendous distance. However the Respawnables' version only throws them back 10 meters while player's character uses their legs to recover from the recoil.Noisy cricket.jpg
 * The Noisy Cricket before the Winter Wonderland Update had less power even if shot at point blank. Its damage output has been dramatically increased later, and then became a true 1-shot kill weapon.
 * When a poll was conducted at the wiki in April 2014, 9 people out of 18 (50%) felt that the Noisy Cricket was the most powerful weapon.
 * Unlike most handguns, the player test fires the Noisy Cricket when not doing anything in the menu for a short time instead of falling asleep while standing.
 * In the early versions, the most common combination with Noisy Cricket is with the Exosuit in multiplayer.
 * Officially, the Noisy Cricket has that name because when it reloads after a shot, it creates a loud cricket sound.
 * The Noisy Cricket "bullet" has the form of a soundwave, most likely the cricket sound that it makes when it is shot.
 * A shocking revelation, that the powerful one shot kill damage, is actually a glitch. The glitch got patched during Easter Holiday Update (2015), thus reduced the damage significantly.
