Prototype PDW

The Prototype PDW ('A52 PDW' by its developer name) is a Primary weapon added on the 13.4.0 update. It can be upgraded to the Prototype PDW Up1.
== Appearance ==
It has a silver-white/grey stock, a silver receiver with a red trigger, pistol grip, and a silverish-white/black handguard. It also features grey iron sights, and a black flash hider.
Inside the handguard is a portal crystal rod also found in the Prototype.
Like the Prototype, it fires purple beams that penetrates through solid objects. However, unlike the former, it fires 4 beams when the fire button is held down.
== Strategy ==
The weapon deals moderate damage, a decent burst-fire rate and mobility, but a smaller ammo capacity than most Primary weapons.
=== Tips ===
* It is generally effective at close range, especially when behind cover.
* When an enemy is behind an object or wall, spray the wall while strafing.
* Be wary of the ammo capacity, as being careless can deplete its ammo reserves quickly. Try avoiding wasting too much shots against targets at longer ranges.
* Avoid open areas, especially where snipers are as the weapon is ineffective at longer ranges.
* Try flanking around enemies while firing at them from their blindspots, this is effective in close quarters maps such as Pool Party and Coliseum.
* This is an effective weapon when dealing with melee weapon uses.
=== Counters ===
* Due to its ineffectiveness at longer ranges, pick off users at long range.
* Move behind cover frequently to make users have to blindfire to hit you.
* Area damage and shotguns make quick work of users.
* Strafe around users while attacking to make them deplete their ammo reserves.
* At longer ranges, other Primary weapons outperform this weapon. Use this an advantage and stay some distance from the user when using a Primary weapon.
