Tips[]
- The faster deploy speed allows it to be taken out relatively quickly to deal some extra damage up close if you don't have a shotgun equipped and if using your rocket launcher will cause a lot of self-damage.
- Along this, it can be used alongside the Deathblow to deal high amounts of damage with a near instant switch speed due to the Deathblow's own deploy & holster switch speed being faster.
- The Tunnel Rat is actually a good choice if you're wearing the Friendly Fire Foiler, as its quick swinging speed and bleed debuff will help you secure a kill should your secondary weapon empty its current ammo clip.
- Along with the Friendly Fire Foiler, it's actually tradition to use the Tunnel Rat with the Boonie Blaster.
- Alternatively, it will still work just as well with a regular Shotgun.
- The bleed debuff will let you counter against certain classes.
- The bleed on hit can be used to track down invisible Agents while doing sustained damage to them.
- If an Annihilator becomes an Anniknight, the bleed debuff along with shooting your primary or even secondary weapon will secure the kill quickly.
