Note: Nerfs and buffs for this weapon are still possible
Well, I'm a big sparrer on iZone. Even though, with some skill, you can beat an Enranged Rifle with the Metallic Rifle, the Heavy Rifle isn't that good when gojng against the Enranged Rifle. Its fire rate is beyond decent, and it has a decent laser size. If you can aim, this is the gun for you. If you cant, however, then you should use the Enranged Rifle.
What makes this gun stand out is 2 things:
1.) It's price
2.) It's 5-7 damage
The gun, in my opinion, is worth a solid 8-9k. I don't understand why it is more than the Christmas Rifle was.
Now for the damage. After getting a kill, the gun and projectile become red for a short period of time. This shows that your weapon now does 7 damage. This is extremely useful, everywhere except spar.
To sum it all up: It's a showdown gun. If you spar, use the Christmas Rifle. If you PK, use the Heavy rifle or Enranged Rifle.
*10-14 damage in showdown
