Tear Gas Launcher

The Tear Gas Launcher is a Heavy weapon added in the 14.2.0 update. It can be upgraded to the Tear Gas Launcher Up1.
== Appearance ==
It has a black collapsible stock, with a silver buffer tube, and a black/grey body, pistol grip, trigger, and a silver barrel/handguard.
It fires canisters that take the appearance of a Smoke Grenade's, then shortly releases a cloud of translucent, light grey tear gas for 10 seconds.
== Strategy ==
It does a considerable amount of damage when the canister directly hits a target, with the cloud dealing fair damage. It also has a slow fire rate and a one-shot capacity, but has decent mobility.
=== Tips ===
* It is very effective taking out enemies holding still as you can place the clouds around them and do rapid damage.
* Try to conserve ammo due to the low capacity.
* The weapon's projectiles have travel time.
* The gas cloud that forms after being fired is useful for covering corridors and entrances.
* The weapon is effective for weakening enemies, making them easier to kill.
=== Counters ===
* Avoid both the shots and the gas cloud once it has been deployed.
* Engage the user when the user is reloading.
* Try not to move backwards in a match with one as there could be a thick cloud waiting
* Keep moving, it is particularly weaker against movement.
