== History ==
== Strategy Guide ==
*Ex-Caliber Rifle can deal splash damage to opponents around corners and behind cover by firing it at the ground.
*Ex-Caliber Rifle can be used at closer ranges than most explosive weapons since the self-damage radius is smaller than the opponent-damage radius. Even so, be careful when using the Ex-Caliber Rifle up close to avoid damaging yourself.
*Ex-Caliber Rifle is an excellent pairing with a high-damage shotgun. Fire your shotgun, fire the Ex-Caliber Rifle, then swap back and forth until the opponent is eliminated.
*Ex-Caliber Rifle is excellent for countering vehicles. Regardless of where the shot lands, the Ex-Caliber Rifle's explosive swords can damage any opponent inside a vehicle.
*Ex-Caliber Rifle can be used effectively with a Shockwave Grenade or another similar item. Use the Shockwave Grenade to fly upward into the air, then rain down shots with the Ex-Caliber Rifle.
*Ex-Caliber Rifle benefits heavily from headshot damage. Always aim for the head with the Ex-Caliber Rifle.
* The Ex-Caliber Rifle can be very effective when your opponent is in a confined space like a vault. It can also be effective for forcing opponents out of powerful positions such as Port-A-Bunkers or bushes.
== Trivia ==
*Ex-Caliber Rifle is most likely based off the Excalibur, the mythical sword wielded by King Arthur.
*If you get hit, dance because you can escape from more damege,
*You can do this because it's bugged: When you dance, the sword is flying in air.
*During the first set of Winterfest Quests in Chapter 4: Season 1, a quest that required players to deal damage to opponents with a DMR could have been done with an Ex-Caliber, despite not stating so.
**This is probably because, like the DMR, it is also in the Marksman Rifle weapon type.
