Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Dub should be used at extremely close range, and it is forgiving enough that you can miss your first shot for a follow up one. However, this is more difficult with this weapon's knockback ability.
- You can fully knock a player if you land both shots accurately. However, this is more difficult if they fly away on the first shot. Even as a risky play, try building a wall behind them to keep them from going anywhere. This strategy is even more effective in a box fight scenario.
- The Dub can be used for self mobility, such as reaching high ground, or it can be used for offensive mobility, such as knocking a player off a structure, or into the storm.
- If you are battling on a high place and you could fall to your death, try crouching so the Shotgun doesn’t knock you back.
