Respawnables - Cold Beam Rifle
The Cold Beam Rifle was introduced in the Holiday Update (2014), it comes in the Classic Santa's Gear. The AtomDrome logo and company logo are found on the gun, making it the first "AtomDrome" weapon in the game. It has good Damage and Agility, decent Range, and excellent Accuracy.
Strategy
This weapon has a relatively small clip of 5 rounds, and fires at roughly the rate of the Plasma Shotgun. The projectiles are light, transparent blue eccentric circles that is able to damage multiple enemies because the "bullets" can pass through them. The weapon has decent range, roughly that of the Flare Gun, which allows then player to achieve long range kills. However, the projectiles move quite slowly, which allows the enemy to dodge them.
The projectiles do decent damage, similar to the damage dealt by the Plasma Punch. Typically, three shots will be able to kill a player with a little health boost.
Due to its range, it is best to engage at mid range, to ensure that you are able to kill someone effectively. At long range, the enemy is able to move out of the way of the projectiles. At close range, it may not kill the enemy in time, which may allow them to kill you, especially if they've something like the Blunderbuss or the Double Barrel Shotgun equipped. Pretending this is a Shotgun may allow some advantage.
