Damagethe safe cannot dodge, so raw damage is all that mattersReload Speedsafe damage scales with shots fired, nothing elseHow to play it
Stand where a wall is beside or behind the enemy, not beside you — his damage comes from the rebound, so the geometry has to work for him.
The Super is a longer burst of the same bouncing bullets, so fire it down a corridor rather than at an open field where the bounces never happen.
Common mistakes
- Playing him on open maps where his bullets never bounce and he is just a worse Colt
- Aiming directly at enemies instead of at the wall next to them
- Standing in the corridor he is suppressing, which lets a tank walk him down
