Flare Gun
Flare Gun wins the award for the most demanded weapon to return to the game, and seeing why is not hard at all. This cheery little Christmas-themed gun is a real killer; at any range, a single fiery shot is enough to end the target. Flare Gun does not care about your health armor - it will break through and OHKO you, every single time. To add to this, the weapon has flawless agility, allowing you to move quickly. This turns the Flare Gun into a top-tier threat.
Flare Gun does have one noticeable flaw, however: and that flaw is in its accuracy. The Flare Gun's shot has a fairly low travel speed, and can easily be seen coming from a distance. This allows players to dodge the shot. At closer ranges, the Flare Gun still suffers from this accuracy issue, as moving players can cause the shot to miss again. While the Flare Gun's reload is fast, the gap between each shot can be long enough for the opposing player to win. Despite its accuracy problems, the Flare Gun is very very hard to stop at close ranges, so much so that there really isn't a weapon that directly counters it. The best way is to move left and right and keep your distance from them, to increase the probability of them missing. It is one of the fastest weapons to kill, so it's very hard to play around. This is what earns it a reputation of being overpowered. |

TL; DR
