Strategy[]
High risk high reward is all this weapon really is, with amazing one shot damage, a great reload speed, and a somewhat faster projectile, this weapon can be used very well when a competitive player begins to use it, however it's quick dip projectiles, poor auto-aim, and impaired range makes this weapon all but very hard to use, forcing its user to rely on skill and skill alone to master a potent weapon; but with the high risk involved, it has very little nerfs, and can cause post-flare explosions on tank mains and anti equipment mains if they aren't careful!
It's main weakness however is simply range, a player standing to far from it's devastating flares can easily swoop in and defeat the user, or pick them off at a distance, but up close and personal, and this weapon begins to shine, being able to break many builds, so opt in most often for a Run And Gun for the best results; along with Ambush tactics when needed. Against Water Weapons, Heavy Weapons, and Bows, this gun can be left to far behind to fight.

Trivia[]
- It resembles the Heckler & Koch HK69A1 Grenade Launcher.
- Many people were disappointed by this weapon since the developers said "It will take festive explosions to a whole new level" but it turned out not to be an explosive weapon.
- Oxymoronic to its name, this device is anything but for support, as its "signals" dip to the ground, rather than fling forward.
- Interestingly enough, you can complete some Missions that require you to use a Grenade Launcher, with this weapon!
- Its final skin was leaked by data miners during the Carnival 2017, which it was possibly supposed to be featured in, but would remain under wraps until Summer Camp 5; a 2 year wait!
