Strategy
Strategy[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- With the Drum Gun being the 2nd most expensive weapon in Ballistic, it is important to buy 2 ticks of Instant Shield for added surivability.
- With its high magazine capacity and fire rate, the Drum Gun is an excellent weapon for suppressive fire, especially strong when combined with Recon Grenades and Smoke Grenades.
- With its high fire rate and good damage, the Drum Gun can quickly melt through the Bubble Shield's dome or The Wall's segments.
Counters[]
- Due to its high recoil, the Drum Gun can be very inaccurate, so ARs and accurate SMGs like Nemesis AR or Veiled Precision SMG can outperform it at longer ranges.
Weapon ID
