Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Eradicator Shadow Precision SMG is very similar in use to the Shadow Tracker, in that it doubles as both a strong close-mid range weapon, and infinite recon. Because of this, using the Eradicator Shadow Precision SMG to start a fight at mid-range in order to mark an opponent, then closing the distance and using a strong Shotgun, such as the Sentinel Pump Shotgun, is the best way to use the weapon.
- Keep in mind that the Eradicator Shadow Precision SMG only has 28 rounds in the magazine, the same as the normal Veiled Precision SMG. While this wouldn't seem like an issue, it's high fire rate definitely makes it an issue, and while the stats being carried over from the Night Rose Veiled Precision SMG helps offset this with slightly higher damage, it is advised to seek out the Extended Magazine Boon in order to increase the mag size to a more serviceable size.
Counters[]
- The Eradicator Shadow Precision SMG, while able to mark opponents, isn't the only item in the game that can do so: both the Recon Scanner and the Flare Gun have the same ability, and with a wider area of affect. They are also more common than the Eradicator Shadow Precision SMG. Because of this, it is best to carry one of these items when engaging with an opponent wielding the Eradicator Shadow Precision SMG, as if they hit you, you can mark them in return, leveling the playing field.
