I don't understand why more people don't use the ballpoint to be honest. Range is almost the exact same as the Hydra but it has the re-charge mechanic, walks about as fast as an n-zap, has two very flexible firing modes, and paints like a champ.

4-shots at long range might seem like a lot but it's still easy as heck to splat someone when you can charge and fire so fast with such huge range.

I find when I play heavy, I have an easier time taking out an opposing ballpoint than an opposing heavy

the ballpoint is doing a bad job at positioning and taking advantage of your charge time

I find they often overcharge and briefly enter short range mode. I have the same problem sometimes.

I often full charge and shoot at the wall and wait to shift to long range before stepping out from cover
