Sideways Rifle

Functionality[]

The Sideways Rifle is a fully automatic, fast firing, medium to long ranged weapon. It has first shot accuracy enabling longer ranged engagements. The Sideways Rifle does not have a magazine size, and works on a cooldown system. Firing the weapon for too long will cause it overheat, and the player must wait a short time before using it again. When the weapon is close to overheating, the damage multiplies by 1.5. The player can fire 10 bullets continuously before it overheats.

Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• Make sure to time your cooldown correctly, as even though you will be dealing more damage, it will be very dangerous to wait for the several second cooldown period between firing again.
• At long distances and before initiating a fight, it can be a good idea to build up heat by shooting elsewhere to gain the extra damage on the first few hits.
• Once this weapon reaches the heat point where it does extra damage, it is best to try to keep it heated by tap firing, If you're in a fight and don't have an immediate line of sight on someone it can still be good to just fire off shots to keep the heat up.

Counters[]

• Due to the small amount of shots this weapon can fire before overheating, placing builds or getting behind cover is advised, as it can significantly reduce its effectiveness.
