Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Drum Gun can be well suited for taking out opponent's builds.
- Its large magazine makes it a lot less punishing than most SMGs.
- The Drum Gun's best use is as a close range secondary, while running a Tactical AR as a primary, due to it's use of Medium Bullets.
Counters[]
- The Drum Gun has a lot of horizontal recoil, meaning it is mostly unsuitable at longer ranges. Keeping enough distance for this to be a problem (around 2 tiles), is an effective counter.
- Most SMGs have a higher DPS than the Drum Gun, so in most close range fights, unless the opponent hits a headshot, most other SMGs will win.
