eeEvery time you return to the spawn room, you'll fully restock on ammo, health, and Metal. This is crucial during setup time or after respawning.

The M1 Garandier can provide suppression fire from a safe distance, forcing enemies to take cover while your team advances. Alternatively, focus on precision shooting to eliminate key targets, like enemy snipers or support classes.

It has a 20% slower firing rate than the stock Minigun, so you’ll deal a bit less damage over time.

The firing rate is reduced, meaning it deals less damage over time compared to the standard Minigun. You’ll need to keep this in mind in direct confrontations, as other heavies or high-damage classes may have an edge if they can out-DPS you.

The Tomislav’s clip is reduced to 150 bullets (from the standard 200). This means you’ll need to manage your ammo more carefully, especially in extended fights or when surrounded by multiple enemies.

Ammo

Weapon	Ammo	Ammo Weapon
Stock Iron Force	3 / 16	Since reload times can leave you vulnerable, aim carefully and only fire when you have a high chance of hitting your target. Firing randomly or missing can lead to crucial downtime. The primary ammo used by your tank’s main cannon. Each shot you fire will deplete your ammo supply, and your tank will automatically reload after each shot. Certain tanks or upgrades might allow you to fire more powerful rounds. Use these sparingly, as they are often limited or costly. Some tanks have long reload times, so after firing a shot, consider retreating or taking cover to avoid being hit while you wait to reload.

Stock M1 Garandier	4 / 16	If there are any perks or skills that reduce reload time or improve ammo efficiency, consider these to get more out of each clip. When you're low on ammo, find cover before reloading. Reloading in the open can make you an easy target due to the reload time and the iconic "ping" sound, which can signal to enemies that you are vulnerable. With 4 shots left, it's a good time to find cover and decide whether to fire the remaining shots or reload. If enemies are nearby, it might be wise to finish your clip and reload, especially if you're using perks that reduce reload time.

Stock Tomislav	150	Use Corners and Cover: Position yourself near corners or obstacles where you can spin up silently and ambush enemies as they pass by. Prioritize Ambushes Over Direct Confrontations: While the Tomislav can still be effective head-on, you’ll get the most out of it by surprising enemies. Maintain Your Aim: Since it has a slower fire rate, consistent aim is essential to deal optimal damage, especially if enemies try to dodge or retreat.

Trivia

• Take advantage of the silent spin-up by hiding near choke points or corners where you can start shooting unexpectedly.
• Since enemies won’t hear you revving up, it’s easier to catch them off guard, especially in defensive positions or when flanking.
• The increased accuracy is helpful at medium range, where you can consistently land shots on enemies without losing as much damage to bullet spread.
• Try to engage enemies from a bit farther back compared to the standard Minigun, and maintain steady aim to maximize damage.

Part 1

• The reduced clip size and slower firing speed mean you need to pick your fights wisely. Avoid prolonged, direct firefights with high-DPS enemies like other Heavies or Soldiers.
• Be mindful of your ammo; after taking out an enemy, check if you need to reload before the next encounter.

Part 2

• Pair the Tomislav with a Brash Burger or ROBAR to recover health after ambushes, which allows you to hold defensive positions longer.
• Use defensive secondaries like the Fists of Steel if you anticipate a need to absorb more damage while closing the gap on enemies.

Part 3

• Tomislav -25% clip size: Reduces the ammo capacity per reload from 200 to 150 rounds.
• 25% slower firing speed: Fires at a reduced rate compared to the standard Minigun.
• The smaller clip size encourages controlled bursts instead of continuous fire.
• Pairing it with the increased accuracy can conserve ammo while maximizing damage.
