Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Avoid shooting a Egg Launcher near your person as it will deal the same damage to you as it does to enemy players.
- You can shoot a Grenade under a player and allow them to ride it. This is much more difficult than it is with a Rocket Launcher and is almost useless.
- The best use of a Egg Launcher in that mode is to force enemies from behind cover.
Counters[]
- Keep within close range when fighting an opponent wielding a Egg Launcher, as they'll have to risk taking damage from their own grenades if they want to fire back.
