This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- This weapon should not be used in standard game modes due to its lack of accuracy and fire rate. Any other Assault Rifle would be a better choice. In the scenario where you are forced to use this weapon, it is best to use it is close range, where the accuracy is much better suited.
- You are quite literally better off swinging your pickaxe in a fight than you are when using this gun.
Counters[]
- The Primal Pistol is generally unviable in engagements, but in the case that you end up against an opponent wielding one, keep distance between yourself and you opponent, as its ranged accuracy is quite poor.
