Link Gun

Overview
The Link Gun is a semi-automatic gun that shoots green bolts of electricity in a short area. These "links" can explode hand grenades and cluster grenades. The Link Gun generally does low damage, but the high rate of fire and the fast reload time balance it out. The bolts are also instantaneous; they immediately hit an enemy instead of firing out like bullets. This makes it hard to dodge if you can keep the bolts on your opponent. Even though it can be countered by many weapons, the Link Gun can be lethal at close range and is not to be underestimated.

The Link Gun is a great defense weapon in CTF, and you can easily gun down any incoming enemies running for the flag.

With the Link Gun


 * Use the Link Gun's special ability to your advantage and trigger any incoming grenades before they make contact with you.
 * Getting close to your enemy is vital as the Link Gun's bolts have limited range.
 * Try to score headshots against your opponent as this can deal massive damage.

Against the Link Gun

 * Flamers can effectively block the Link Gun's electric bolts and render it useless. This is a great way to "disarm" your opponents with Link Guns and kill them quickly.
 * Staying away from the Link Gun is ideal, as it has limited range. Try to snipe them from afar with guns like the Barrett or Carbine.
 * Since the Link Gun does fairly low damage per shot, you could use heavier rapid-fire weapons to outgun them in firepower.

Trivia


 * The Link Gun is one of three electrical-based weapons in the game.
