Strategy[]
Recollecting from the Black-Naga, this Rifle has no auto-aim, however a crosshair, ramping up though, this squirt gun has splash and a faster rate of fire, as well as a scope, while combined these attributes don't amount too much until utilizing its great damage, range, accuracy, agility - decent reload speed & agility. Against multiple moderate builds, this weapon will find itself consuming and pausing.
Unlike the other bubble weapons added, this one has projectiles that exit the barrel without the aid of the player, and will stick to any surface it reaches for a limited time, allowing users to linger a volley of bubbles to create a fortification near spawns or high-traffic areas. Meaning in these instances, players may find themselves venturing Run And Gun, or keeping a high defense when Camping. If an enemy happens to slip through these open traps, then the devastation of Shotguns, Launchers, and Heavy Weapons will ensue.
