Strategy
Strategy[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Players should aim above targets at long ranges to compensate for bullet drop. The further the target the higher the player should aim.
- Players should aim in the direction a target is moving at long ranges to compensate for the bullet travel time. The faster and further the target the further the player should aim.
- As the Dragon's Breath Sniper Rifle deals Health damage with the fire it produces, it can be useful when attacking enemies in the storm, as the storm will contribute to lowering the enemy's Health, and also ignore Shield.
- It has a small explosion radius when the projectile lands that deals 115 damage, aiming right next to the enemy you want to hit can lead to also damaging the target's allies if close enough.
- Players can shoot at a wooden wall an enemy is taking cover behind to force them to move from the fire spread.
Counters[]
- The fire spread effect that the Dragon's Breath Sniper has only applies against Wood structures, so taking cover behind Stone or Metal structures can be beneficial when engaged with an opponent wielding the Dragon's Breath Sniper.
Weapon ID
