The Dual Flare Gun is a Dual Weapon entwined in the Winter Camp 2 Update, selling alone or as a bonus in the The Magnificent 6, until the Road to Glory 3 Update, where it was matched with Tactical Santa.
Strategy[]
Ramping up the Old Meta unknowingly, these powerful classic signal flares can light up their enemies in a powerful blast far stronger than their single counterpart, along with a decent rate of fire, reload speed, and accuracy, together they make quick work of powerful builds and can even go toe to toe with Zombie Hordes! More importantly though, these weapons have one major drawback, their powerful projectiles have dipping shots rendering them to a mostly close distance playstyle, but even then these guns can't hit enemies while their moving at range, so closing the gap is key, once in the guaranteed strike zone these weapons swing with a flare that knocks out even the toughest tank and anti equipment, and can completely ignore anti one-shot equipment with a skilled wielder.
Due to the nature of these Flare Guns, it is best used in a Run And Gun & Ambush strategy, as your short magazine size can make you vulnerable while reloading, but in surprise attacks its very hard to go down. While running in for the kill avoid Assault Weapons, Water Weapons, and Bows.

Trivia[]
- These guns are able to six-shot kill Whiplash, that's 250% health gone in a single flare!
- Despite that fact, they never made quite an uproar, aside from some seeing the concept as "unoriginal".
- A major reason these weapons never took off quite at the time they released is due to the fact many players disliked the idea of a Flare Gun with dipping projectiles, however enhanced damage.
