Serious Business

The Serious Business is a Heavy weapon introduced in the 15.5.0 Cops and Criminals Black Market update. It can be upgraded to the Serious Business Up1. 
== Appearance ==
It resembles a black briefcase with a red middle, a grey handle, and an orange trigger. It also has a black barrel protruding out of the side.
When reloading, the user will open the briefcase containing the insides of the weapon. Inside, it has a mini auto cannon attached to a chain of bullets at the bottom.
The user holds the weapon by the hip, which when fires, launches a bright orange bullet which explode and release a blast of shrapnel upon impact.
== Strategy ==
It does decent damage, and has a below average fire rate and capacity, however it suffers from low mobility.
=== Tips ===
* It is one of the few Heavy weapons with hitscan bullets, meaning that no compensating is needed when hitting targets at long ranges.
* It's area damage attribute does not benefit from a headshot bonus so try to aim at the body instead.
** Alternatively, if accuracy isn't a strong-suit, try aiming at the ground around the target.
* Wearing speed increasing accessories can help offset the weapon's low mobility.
* When engaging in close range combat, aim for the feet or any surface area near the enemy, since this has area damage.
* Reload constantly as this weapon has a very small capacity for a rapid-fire weapon.
** Reloading after every kill out of every battle. It has a slow reload and can leave one vulnerable to enemies.
* Due to its low capacity, try to keep your shots count. Also be on a lookout for ammo packs.
* The shrapnel launched from the projectiles is effective for dealing with groups of enemies.
=== Counters ===
* Pick off the user at long range.
* Due to its low mobility, try strafing around the user with a weapon with higher mobility.
* The weapon suffers from a low ammo capacity, meaning that users will be reloading often. Use this vulnerability to attack.
* Shotguns and other Area Damage weapons make quick work of users.
* Try taking cover from users and flank around them with a melee weapon.
* Its explosive bullets can be nullified, meaning gadgets such as the P.H.A.D.O can prevent them from detonating, thus removing their main ability.
* Try to stay away from any surfaces, either the ground or the wall.
