Range: 300 feet
Damage: A direct hit will do 100 damage while splash damage can be 1-99
Rating: 8/10(good damage although the "shoot close and shoot yourself" thing
brings down the score.)
Sound: Medium. The launch doesn't make too much sound but can still be heard.
Visibility: Pretty high. I would think someone would notice a rocket coming
straight at them unless they're in some other situation. Smoke trails.

---------------------------

2.5 - Lightning Gun

One of my favorite weapons, the Lightning Gun uses a string of electric energy
to rapidly bring down an opponents health. The bolt is quick and could be held
down to release a stream of unstopping energy.

Best Time to Use: When you get sight of a camper without him sighting you.
Because of the instant hit, the Camper will either die or get extremely
damaged. The reason, campers don't expect to move especially when they don't
notice someone shooting at them.

Strategy: Ammunition is usually short as it's used up so rapidly so the
Lightning Gun is really only good for a single use. Don't be afraid to use up
all it's energy as you can switch it later. Try to walk backwards as your
target chases you trying to get a hit.

Things to Avoid: One bolt doesn't do that much damage so avoid trying to kill
opponents at point blank range as they probably have a Shotgun and blast you
down on the spot.

Range: 75 feet
Damage: 8
Rating: 10/10
Sound: Low. Buzzing
Visibility: High. Electric Stream

---------------------------

2.6 - Plasma Gun

The plasma gun is a high velocity gun with a bit of splash damage. Very
effective weapon. One of my favorite weapons.

Best Time to Use: Against a moving target. This is probably the best weapon for
that.

Strategy: Try to sweep the gun back and forth while holding down the trigger to
give some damage. It allows an even firing arc even if your target is trying to
run away. The splash damage will also help a bit too. Be careful as the plasma
cells run out quickly and using this gun too much will make it go down
completely.

Things to Avoid: Don't waste ammunition on targets that you can kill easily
with any other weapon. Ammo is usually short.

Range: 350 feet
Damage: 1-20
Rating: 9/10(ammunition runs out quickly)
Sound: Medium. Light zing when being fired.
Visibility: High. Large blue balls of energy being thrown through the air.

---------------------------

2.7 - Grenade Launcher

A grenade launcher living up to it's name. It launches grenades! Ammunition is
also usually short. Does more damage than the Rocket Launcher although it's
hard to get a direct hit.

Best Time to Use: Against a group of targets that haven't noticed you yet. Take
them out by dropping hell from the sky.

Strategy: Point the gun higher up to get a better arc to launch more long range
grenades. Use this strategy to get opponents far away that can use a little
beating. Eventually, you'll learn to actually hit people directly with enough
practice.

Things to Avoid: Like the Rocket Launcher, avoid launching "too close" to your
current location.

Range: Up to 50 feet.
Damage: direct hit will do 150. Splash does 1-149
Rating: 7/10(tough to aim)
Sound: Medium. The clank of the gun may alert some.
Visibility: Low to Medium. Leaves a small smoke trail and the grenade clanks
when it lands.

---------------------------

2.8 - Rail Gun

The closest thing to a Sniper Rifle in this game. When used with the zoom in
option, it's very deadly. A favorite weapon of most campers, this is the most
accurate weapon.

Best Time to Use: When you're enemy is standing still or doesn't notice. Take
the opportunity to get him.

Strategy: Be careful of the slow firing rate and the lack of ammunition for
each gun. Because of these disadvantages, the Rail Gun is only for the trained
sniper. If you are to become an annoying camper, move a lot, position yourself
on high places, and keep track of the Rail Guns and it's ammo. Watch out for
rockets and such.

Things to Avoid: Don't use this as a close range weapon.

Range: Infinite
Damage: 100
Rating: 8/10(best weapon for campers)
Sound: Medium. a zap when launched and even when not in use, emits a low hum.
Visibility: High. A colored trail.

---------------------------

2.9 - BFG10K

The best weapon. It has the rate of fire of a Plasma Rifle and the firepower
of a rocket launcher. Of course, ammunition would usually be short and the BFG
is only contained in a few maps in very hard to reach areas. Some people don't
even bother trying to get it as they'd usually get killed on the way.

Best Time to Use: Against a lot of people. Use it like the Plasma Gun to hurt
them all and get a few kills.

Strategy: There isn't much strategy needed. Take a look at the Plasma Gun
strategy and keep in mind that the splash damage is larger like the Rocket
Launcher. It's fun to show off with this weapon. I actually took down five
with one shot a while ago. No kidding. Think about the damage you can do with
more. The shots are also more quicker than the RL so you can do a bit with it
before you're gunned down.

Things to Avoid: Avoid the large splash damage radius.

Range: Infinite
Damage: 1-100
Rating: 10/10
Sound: High. The gun makes a loud sound when in use. The projectile also makes
a sound similar to the rocket launcher when it meets a surface.
Visibility: High. Large green balls of energy.

3.0 - General Tips and Strategies /
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-/

~ Always try to keep moving. A still target makes for an easy kill for any
experience camper.

~ Some people may jump around to move faster plus make themselves a harder
target.

~ Never tell anyone on multiplayer that you're a novice player. They'll only go
on you harder. Believe me, I've had experience.

~ Try to avoid talking to much during matches. Showing off will only get you
prone to enemy fire. Only talk on the console when you're sure no ones going
to come. You will notice some don't even bother chatting.

~ Know your enemies and they're weaknesses. Do they camp a lot? Do they hide?
Are they fast? Are they good? Are they good shots? Are they worth killing?

~ Never run out of a battle unless you absolutely have to. Running away will
only leave your back vulnerable. If you absolutely have to for health or ammo,
run away by running backwards. You can still keep your enemies back by shooting
while running.

~ If you engage a single person, get them into a corner and take them down.

~ To stop someone from winning in a cheap way, use a rocket launcher to launch
them off of platforms or into dangerous areas like lava and acid. If you don't
kill them yourself, they'll die and lose a point or so.

~ If you feel like being cheap, hide in a corner and attack anyone that happens
to walk in your path. Don't make too much sound.

~ Use the zoom in option in the settings when camping with the Rail Gun to have
a made sniper.
