Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- This weapon is not ideal for long range engagements, as it cannot hit accurately, and has no first shot accuracy, even when crouching and being stationary.
- It has a slower fire rate and lower magazine size than the Assault Rifle and the Primal Rifle, making this weapon slightly weaker than the others.
- Use the Makeshift Rifle early-game for melee damage due to the issues mentioned above.
Counters[]
- Literally any Assault Rifle is better than the Makeshift Rifle. Unless your opponent hits a headshot, as long as you have a different weapon, you will win almost every engagement.

Trivia
Trivia[]
- Makeshift Rifle design is based on the Buzzcut from Save the World, but includes updated textures and a different render for its icon.
- The functionality of these weapons is somewhat similar, as the rifle in Save the World is a slow-firing semi-automatic weapon. However, it has First Shot Accuracy, as it was designed to be a cheaper but less durable alternative to the Hunter-Killer.
