Tips[]
- With the Heavy Metal equipped, your Primary weapon will be your only thing keeping you between life and death. Be sure that your aim and movement are exceptional if you want to make the most out of the Heavy Metal.
- The increased metal capacity allows the user to scavenge less metal, increasing uptime on the frontlines.
- Mechanics with the Eureka Effect or Gunslinger can construct all 4 buildings without needing to resupply.
- The increased mobility allows the Mechanic to quickly pick up ammo boxes, reach the frontlines faster, and escape faster.
- It pairs well with the Widowmaker, provided that you can consistently hit all of your shots.
- Note that the lack of an offensive secondary forces the Mechanic to use his melee weapon once he's out of metal.
