Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

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

The Explosive Repeater Rifle can be very effective to force opponents to move out from behind cover due to its explosive splash damage.
An effective strategy when using the Explosive Repeater Rifle is to carry multiple, hipfire one, swap to the other, and repeat, allowing you to fire faster than the weapon can normally.
The Explosive Repeater Rifle is also very effective against vehicles, as opponents will have to abandon their vehicle or risk taking large amounts of damage.

Counters[]

The Explosive Repeater Rifle can be somewhat inconsistent at close-range, so keeping the gap between you and an opponent wielding it small and using a fast firing weapon such as an SMG or AR can be beneficial.
