The Burning Handgun is a fire-based handgun released in Carnival 2018 Update. It can either by bought for gold, or obtained permanently in both "Hunt Unit's MK I" or II.
Strategy[]
With a unique skin, and attribute in fire, this tiny handgun can shoot players from very long distances dealing a slow yet assuring burning damage over time, aside from that though this is a heavily outclassed handgun, as it preforms subpar to its cousin the Poison Dart Handgun, which deals significant damage at the same reach as this weapon, furthermore, this puny pistol can be brushed off by almost any user with medikit, and is a feather with tank and anti-equipment mains. However with some much needed buffs this weapon can quickly cut through many players, unfortunately still heavily lacking against not only competitive players, but also other Handguns.
Despite having decent agility and being of the pistol variety, this gun is much more comfortable in a Camping strategy where the long reach helps this weapon burn through players from afar. Fittingly, against Heavy Weapons, Water Weapons, and Assault Weapons, this weapon loses its fire aspect rapidly.
