The Maskaleon Rifle is a multi-purpose Assault Rifle alluring its vibrance as the final prize of Carnival 2017, during the Update.

Strategies

Held under its base playstyle, no mask, this Assault Weapon is just that, allowing users to play on near the performance of the Rainbow's End, dealing slightly lowered damage, and range comparably, but testing against its card, this weapon has good damage, range, rate of fire, agility, and reload speed - a low magazine and minor damage drop-off. Linking in with those of the past, this mode is not suitable against moderate builds, and as such, should be avoided.

Slinging at enemies while Running And Gunning is the best option, as the bullets can soak into enemies before they know it, which neatly lands itself into Ambush territory, able to take on most opponents, while still being mindful of those at a distance using Bows, Launchers, and Heavy Weapons.

Adding the Supply Carnival Mask to the character, will reconfigure this Assault Weapon into a DMR, or more broadly, a "semi-automatic assault rifle", granting the user great damage and range, at the cost of rate of fire. Looking into it more deeply, this head gives the gun great damage for good range, accuracy, agility, and reload speed - with noticeable damage falloff. Speaking of falling off, under the intensity of moderate builds, this damage can be absorbed in time for the enemy to deliver attacks.

Because it shares in the fruit of two classes, it can be used to Run And Gun, using strafing and Circle around maneuvers to re-align shots, or simply doge and shoot the enemy until the damage is either to great for them, or kills them in the process of the firefight. Camping is another option, but be weary, as the mentioned damage drop from a distance can be to drastic, and may require some walking-in to quickly eliminate foes. Barbaric Shotguns, Dual Weapons, and Heavy Weapons can surprise the user and may take them out.

Fueled by fury, with the Aggressive Carnival Mask, holders will notice this gun has vastly improved in firing speed, at the cost of range and damage - not derailing to much though, it posses decent damage, range, accuracy, reload speed, and agility - yet quite an unfulfilling ammo supply and damage at a slight distance. This mask in use has its rarity set for good reason, as against moderate builds, they merely eat away at the anger.

Getting the best results with this activation will be a Run And Gun, making sure Ambushes and Circle arounds are pulled on unwanted rivals, keeping them at bay, while reloading often. Cooling this dance to a break will often times be Water Weapons, Shotguns, and Heavy Weapons.

Swaying with the flow the Wind Carnival Mask is the main attraction for buyers and competitors, and for good reason too, as these two combined posses capabilities unlike any regular Rifle, yet stay within its limits - when these effects sweep in this gun gains great damage and range, at the primary cost of accuracy, however with it actually showing its crosshairs to the user. Due to its slow rate of fire, it may become apparent to moderate builds to rush, which can prove disastrous on the players end.

Much like the reptile its tagged as, this Sniper Rifle has an odd eye, but scope-in, and its bound to get better, allowing the user to take advantage of its moderate auto-aim, keeping distance, and this green machine will suit the boundaries of Camping, using obstacles to shoot from Afar, matting down foes like flies. A good counter to such a combo, would be Shotguns, Heavy Weapons, or Launchers.

  • Its name is a portmanteau of "mask" and "Chameleon". This most likely refers to its ability to change weapon category depending upon the mask worn.
  • It was originally named "Maskeleon Rifle", but was changed in the Summer Camp 5 Update to "Maskaleon Rifle" to be consistent with the Heavy Maskaleon.
  • While it posses many uses, its most sought after mode is the Rifle, as under this guise, the player has auto-aim out of scope, as well as great damage.
