The Boomstick is a Heavy weapon added in the 12.X.X update as part of the Snipers vs. Shotgunners update. It can be upgraded to the Boomstick Up1.
Appearance[]
It has the same features as the Steam Power and the Double Barrelled Shotgun, being the same frame and body. However, the barrels are now slightly longer and now comes in a pair.
When fired, it launches several explosive pellets, which creates mini explosions upon impact, knocking back players in the blast radius.
Strategy[]
It does somewhat high damage, an average fire rate, decent mobility, with a low capacity.
Tips[]
- Use this only at close ranges, such as in hallways or tight corners.
- Aim at the ground near the enemy to ensure that every pellet has hit the user.
- Move around the user while reloading.
- Paired with the Ninja Tabi and the Burning Tiara, it can help compensate for the weapon's somewhat moderate mobility.
- Due to the nature of the weapon, it cannot perform headshots.
Counters[]
- Pick off users at long range.
- Take note that it can drain its ammo quickly and has a slow reload; use the reloading time to attack the user.
- Bunny-hop away from the user to avoid being hit by one the spread of pellets.
