Strategies[ | ]

The high number of weapons slots allows for many heavy weapons to be cycled quickly. The high damage output of a shooter is unmatched and because of the many weapon slots, light weapons are avoided. For example, running 5 standard cannons will result in DPS not fully utilized as global cooldown becomes the limiting factor for DPS instead of weapon reload.

Diversity is key to building a strong Shooter loadout. Since Shooters are a team's primary damage dealers, it is essential that they are able to inflict that damage no matter the situation. For instance, if the main engagement is occurring under a low obstacle, a Shooter with three different mortars will be virtually disabled. Typically, a Shooter will want at least one Cannon-type weapon (or other weapon that shoots a projectile straight forward), at least one Mortar-type weapon (anything from the mortar family or the Fire Bomb), and at least one Torpedo-type weapon. This allows a Shooter to be useful in any engagement scenario.

For blue items, the best options are usually shields, Turbos, or Bandages. Turbos are practically required in order to dodge torpedo and mortar fire, since Shooters are very slow without them. Bandages are useful when there are no Fixers on your team, and shields work well in boosting durability. Gear Lube and Rudder generally aren't necessary because most combat for Shooters take place at long distances where a slow turret or ship rotation isn't too detrimental, although these items can't be found after update 4.0.
