TIPS

Don't use this weapon to take take down anyone with a chaingun or higher you may be able to take a railgun newbie down with mass strafing.

Get behind and up close and fire continue until dead.

This gun is best used in conjunction with quad, at delivers pain like 8 shotgun blasts. get up close with quad and see the gibs. You can probably take out any person with a few blasts up close without quad.

Strafe around them continually firing or firing bursts depending on your game style because it has no wind up or wind down like the chaingun.

This gun is a right old bastard. Continually fire at your target because it has a long wind down time leaving you open for a few seconds.

Learn how to launch grenades perfectly. Launch grenades down the lift in Q2DM1 by the Grenade Launcher that's what its there for!

Aim for your opponents feet or the floor it dose more damage to them and if they jump they will take damage as well as being rocket jumped high up and coming down and breaking their legs.

This gun also has and wind down time so use it like the chaingun.

use this as a sniper rifle there is a very useful sniper mode for it. This is how to do it:

1. Create a file called sniper.cfg in your baseq2 directory.

2. In sniper.cfg enter the following text:

alias +sniper "fov 120; wait; fov 45; wait; fov 30; sensitivity 4"
alias -sniper "fov 45; wait; fov 70; wait; fov 120; sensitivity 7"
bind v "+sniper"

3. create a file called autoexec.cfg if you don't have one in your baseq2 directory.

4. In this put the following line:

exec sniper.cfg

5. When in quake2 press v and you will have sniper mode!

NOTE: This will only work with Quake 2 DM if you want it to work with other mods you will have to copy both autoexec.cfg and sniper.cfg to the mods directory.

NOTE: Do all this at your own risk.

Shoot and watch.
