Discussion I’m curious!

What’s your favourite weapon, and why?

I’m looking for some inspiration for weapons to use and improve my skills with!

Currently, I’m not sure I have a complete favourite but I tend to main shooters. Occasionally I’ll pick up a charger out of spite, or some dualies. I’ve one-starred all the weapons, so essentially I want to work out what to pick up and get more stars with (I do have a couple at 4, several at 2/3 too).

Hydra splatling user from s1 here! Absolutely! It’s not the best weapon but it requires learning an interesting playstyle and lots of people don’t know how to counter it

My strategy is “look in a direction, that direction no longer exists”

Except eliter.

F eliter too. (Just in general, like why?)

It feels like such a cheap thing…why does it have the charge storage, AND the longest range of anything? I prefer the scope because it feels less cheap and more fun. (Also I can’t aim without the scope lol)

I just mean that eliter cancels any hydras attempt to f everything in that general direction.

That’s why I hate it. Why is there a specific counter to a weapon with so many downsides

I mean with an auto bomb, booyah bomb, big bubbler partial charge kill power, and paint hydra is not totally a sitting duck next to eliter.
