The Ultra Beam is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 15.6.0 update. It used to be obtainable from achieving 3rd or higher place in the Pro League Tournament. It is now obtainable from purchasing it in the Tournament Shop.
Description[]
It is a futuristic sniper that shoots a powerful blue beam with a wall break attribute. It has good damage, a low-mediocre fire rate, a below-average capacity, and low mobility. It is 2 bodyshot and 1 headshot.
Appearance[]
The weapon has a neon or future type look to it with a long black/gray scope with a little red glass and a big circle near the end of the gun, acting as the scope.
Performance[]
This weapon shoots a light blue laser beam that can go through walls. Moreover, this weapon possesses an optic sight, which helps it to take out players in long-range.
When reloading, the clip is taken out and is replaced by another.
It receives a delay if weapons that are associated with Three Category Spam like the Thunderer and the Reflector are shot, then quickly switched to this weapon.
Strategy[]
Tips[]
- Aim for the head to maximize damage.
- Like most similar weapons, the Wall Break is not that powerful. It should be only utilized if the enemy is taking cover behind a medium object, such as behind a ram’s wheel.
- The same applies to counter weapons in which blocks projectiles such as traps from the Trapper, Cyber Slicer or Barrier Rifle.
- Using the scope helps engaging users at farther distances.
- This weapon can also be used for Three Category Spam, although it does have a delay when switching between some weapons.
- Time your shots carefully. This weapon has low ammo, so every shot counts.
Counters[]
- When caught in a sniper duel, take time to aim while strafing to avoid getting hit.
- Strafe as much as possible to waste the opponent's ammo.
- Avoid being out in the open when there might be a sniper present.
- Rocket Jump to minimize the chance of getting hit.
- Since the capacity is low and the fire rate is high, wait until the user reloads the weapon, and then attack the user at that time.
- Use a high mobility melee and strafe around the user while making random patterns to decrease the possibility of being damaged. Moreover, making sudden and unexpected attacks while strafing is recommended.
- A close-range shotgun (e.g. Ultimatum, Masterpiece Musket) can be a good choice if you lack instant travel weapons for your backup or special.
Recommended Maps[]
Equipment Setups[]
An automatic backup or special is recommended for finishing players who got hit by this weapon.
