Swan Song

The Swan Song is a Primary weapon made by TreyR9.
== Appearance ==
It is a pink SMG (slightly resembling the Simple Machine Gun) with a holographic sight (non-functional) and an underbarrel flashlight. There are red markings, as well as several red hearts on the grip. It has an extremely short barrel. 
== Strategy ==
It deals moderate damage with a high fire rate and acceptable accuracy. The clip holds 45 rounds. A pink energy shield appears around the player, reducing incoming damage by roughly 17%. When the player is killed, they enter the Battle Royale “knocked down” animation, and are given 30 temporary hitpoints after a brief period of invincibility. During this time, the weapon’s accuracy increases tremendously, and it does critical damage; however, the screen slowly fades to red and sways tremendously.
==== Tips ====
* This weapon is very good in modes with long respawn times or no respawning at all. It lets you make a final stand against enemies, but you must have it equipped.
* It is a relatively weak primary in default mode, but in Last Stand mode, it becomes extremely powerful.
* The energy shield only decreases damage while the weapon is equipped. In addition, Last Stand will only activate if the weapon is held. 
* In modes with shorter respawn timers, it may be futile to use this, as the enemy receives a point bonus for finishing you off after you enter Last Stand mode. 
==== Counters ====
* Since this weapon is relatively weak overall, engage with your weapon of choice. Just be prepared to dodge the shots long enough to finish the downed opponent. 
* Killing a downed opponent gives you 25 points as a “Finisher” score. 
* In modes with long or no respawn, group up to maximize effectiveness against this weapon.
* The Gadget Blocker Attribute will actually prevent the user from entering Last Stand mode. 
== Trivia ==
* “Swan Song” is a metaphorical phrase for a final gesture, effort, or performance given just before death or retirement. The phrase refers to an ancient belief that swans sing a beautiful song just before their death, having been silent (or alternatively, not so musical) during most of their lifetime.
* The words “To the end” are inscribed on the side of the weapon.
