The Rookie Machine Gun is the first gun available. It is given to players for free as a welcoming gift at the beginning of the game.

Strategy[]

If you're using this weapon, you're either new - participating in the April Fools' Events, or trolling. As when in use in the current climate of the game, going up against Masteries and Anti Equipment, not only is this gun rendered to dealing less than 3% damage per hit, it becomes obsolete as those builds and tank builds alike can regenerate in the midst of the user reloading; while using + Ammo in machine guns, gives it more damage potential, it does not resolve its core issue of damage. Even when simply facing a common foe, this gun gets tackled quickly if the enemy has a quick reaction as this machine gun still does not make the cut.

If it must be used, then the proper strategy with this gun is a Run And Gun, as though it outputs poor damage, it needs the mid reaches to begin injuring enemies, in rare instances high level players may use this gun purposefully to compete against rookies, in doing so they most often use a tactic called 'Circle around' which is a way to avoid harm and continue delivering it to a single opponent. By and large this smg is outcompeted by all paid Weapons and those level 9 and up; however it finds itself particularly weak towards Launchers, Shotguns, and Bows.


During an April Fools' Day, this gun gains newfound powers, that give it an overall firepower of "extreme" which is to say more broadly, that this tiny machine gun gains a damage increase of 1,000%! Making it more than able to compete in the New Meta, and more importantly, able to quickly and effortlessly take down any threat, no matter their protection, health, and weapon, not only is damage up a substantial margin, this weapon also gains a net increase in all other attributes, making it truly great.

Since all other players will also be gaining this temporary boost, it should be taken into the battlefield with caution, as the wielder is as vulnerable as anyone else, even when armed to the teeth, use Spotter to track and outmaneuver nearby enemies, and even those afar. Take on a combination of Ambush, Run And Gun, & Camping when it will serve best in the matchups to come, cycle through these strategies as well, as no single one can prove totally resourceful when the rookies reign. Because of its enhanced stats, no weapon can even compare to this former rookie, but there are some that can compete against it with the right moves, they are Divine Sword, Assault Rifle DU MK 2, Runic Cannon, and some others.
