Maps where he can fight at four or five tiles, close enough for most of the cone to connect.

Heist, where the safe is wide enough that every coin in the cone connects.

How to play it

Just behind the tank at the range where the cone still converges, which is closer than most controllers should be and is the whole risk of playing him.

The banknotes are a wide burst that also rewards short range, so use them on someone already committed to walking at him rather than as a long-range opener.

Common mistakes

  • Spraying from maximum range and charging the enemy Super for them
  • Closing to point-blank against a brawler who out-damages him at that range anyway
  • Firing the Super at a lone target across the map where almost none of it connects
