Slingshot

The Slingshot is a high-precision Light Barrel that can be combined with any Light Firing Mechanism to assemble a Weapon Module.

Tactics
Like most precision Barrels, the Slingshot has a low Rate-Of-Fire, and as such is not well suited for close-range combat.

The Slingshot is best used in medium-to-long distance, where the lower ROF drawback is compensated by consistently scoring hits, while opponents with less precise weapons spray fire all around you.

Considering its effectiveness over distance, the Slingshot is well suited for Juggernaut or Balanced builds; however, even with a Skirmisher-type robot you can reliably score a few hits and then retreat before the enemy has a chance to close in on you.

If your preferred tactic is getting close enough for point-blank shooting, you should consider attaching the Slingshot to a Revolver or Hiccs Firing Mechanism. Although these would reduce your Accuracy, this will hardly matter in close range, while on the other hand your Damage-Per-Second will be increased. Keep in mind, that you still might not be a match for a rapid-fire weapon-wielding foe.

Any 4-Handed robot build would benefit from attaching a precision weapon, to take advantage of the situations where the enemy is far from you but you can’t or won’t close the distance fast enough.

The best tactic with a predominantly precision-based build by far, is aiming for an opponent’s Chassis, to disable him. Once you destroy his movement capability and he’s a sitting duck – just pull back, as far as you can, and dismantle him at your leisure. While you’re sure to take return fire, it will hardly deal significant damage to you (unless, of course, the enemy is equipped with Area of Effect or precision weapons himself!).
