The Alien Shuriken Thrower is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 15.7.0 update. It can be obtained from the Christmas Invasion Battle Pass.
Description[]
The weapon is a large alien themed shuriken launcher. It has good damage, a medium fire rate, a decent capacity, and a decent mobility. It has the ability to rocket jump and 2-3 shot someone.
Appearance[]
The season's main color is purple with a neon green outline, with the actual shurikens outline to be a neon blue. A small alien energy cube is held between the butt of the gun and the shuriken itself.
Performance[]
When the fire button is pressed, the weapon will launch a purple shuriken. This shuriken has travel time, and will explode upon impact having a red/white explosion, dealing damage to enemies caught its blast radius. When reloading, the user will eject the used energy cube and insert a new one. It has no delay mechanics.
Strategy[]
It has good damage, a medium fire rate, a decent capacity, and low mobility. It has the ability to rocket jump and 2-3 shot an average player.
- Get relatively close to the player and then attempt to aim at their feet. If an enemy is still, aim your hit marker over their head for a 2 shot kill.
- If you are in a hallway, shoot this weapon down it to hit enemies.
- Try at your best to aim for the ground around the enemy, as the area damage will likely hit them.
- Use this up to medium ranges, since it has travel time, though faster.
Counters[]
- As this weapon's projectile is very thin and difficult to get hit with, snipe the opponent off from long range or use a heavy weapon like Big Buddy (PG3D) to stop their bullet rain.
- Attack the user from long range, but beware that this weapon has a fast bullet travel.
- Fight the user with a Melee weapon at very close range, so if they try to attack you, they will likely damage themselves.

Equipment Setups[]
This weapon should be treated as to not be used against full armored players. Keep a long range weapon in your arsenal as well as this weapon. Keep a weapon that sprays bullets to weaken your enemy before finishing them off.
