Strategy
The closer the enemy is, the bigger chance for you to perform a one shot kill. Due to its various pros and cons, there are 2 key strategies for this weapon:
Run And Gun: Since this weapon has a decent agility, Its best to use mostly Agility for the best outcome. All you have to do is run around the map, do not stop moving until you find an enemy. Since this weapon has a decent clip size, you CANNOT afford wasting bullets. The reload time is VERY long, and to avoid wasting bullets, just wait until your crosshair gets red. This strategy works best in mid to short range maps like The Rocket and Sandtown.
Camping: Easy. Since your range is already very good, stand in a "safe" and "nice" spot for killing and just kill anything that can be killed. If preferred, wear Accuracy-enhancing armors to make your focus even better. Remember to take precaution when reloading, as this can be a perfect time for the opponents whom are already aware of your position and are making a move toward you. Works best in big maps like Royal Garden, Snow Village or Frozen Bay.
