I FUCKING LOVE THIS WEAPON. Let me tell you why.

  1. The novelty of using a slosher is to gain versatility within means of verticality. Meaning, you will no longer be at such an extreme disadvantage facing opponents who are directly on a higher ledge; provided you are able to reach them.

  2. Burst Bombs make this weapon a deadly threat from midrange and further. Not to mention, the burst canceling combo -- throwing a burst bomb and then throwing out a slosh -- makes this a slow kill into a very quick kill that will leave your opponents wondering "How the heck did he just do that?"

  3. Inkstrikes are not a highly desired special weapon, but they definitely help rezone an area of concentration. Drop one on that pesky sniper at Moray and watch him/her fall inevitably into your grasp.

  4. Damage up. God, damage up is a MONSTER with this. If you stack enough, you might find yourself with an insane amount of one-shot kills to enemies who made a mistake of wading too deep into your ink. Not a requirement, but definitely a helpful tool.

  5. You can afford to play this weapon like a long-range weapon despite it not having a very long range. The reason being is that the main area of effect is around the edge of the slosh; that is its widest hitbox. Therefore, you can outspace tentateks, .52 gals, and such (especially with burst bombs!)

  6. YOU CAN SHOOT OVER WALLS AND HAVE A MUCH GREATER EFFECT THAN NORMAL SHOOTERS / DYNAMOS. Sloshing over walls still keeps the hitbox of the slosh active.

A great and underrated weapon that is just a BLAST to use.
