Solar Flare

The is a Sniper weapon introduced in the 17.0.0 Beat the Heat update. It can be obtained for a limited time from the Paradise Trader Van.
== Appearance ==
It appears as a black/yellow railgun.
It features a black body with a black/yellow stock at the back, a grey pistol grip and trigger, a dark grey 10x scope and a large blue solar panel mounted on top. The weapon features two arm rails at the front of the weapon.
When fired, it fires a yellow laser for a split second. The solar pannel then protrudes from the sides to recharge the weapon for another shot.
== Strategy ==
The weapon deals very high damage and has a decent ammo capacity, however it has a very slow fire rate and average mobility.
=== Tips ===
* When maxed out, it is capable of two-shotting max armored players anywhere.
* Aim for the head to maximize damage.
* Use the scope at long ranges. Its high magnification makes it useful for precise aiming at these distances.
* One of the main abilities the weapon has is the Overkill attribute; which allows any excess damage to be added to the next shot. This makes the weapon a one shot weapon in some cases, provided that the user does not miss.
**This is especially useful when countering high-health enemies such as Mechs or monsters in Raid.
**Because it encourages to be more accurate when firing, it is very important to take the time to aim first due to the benefits of attribute.
**In addition, killing a weakened enemy can add a large damage bonus.
* Try strafing while aiming to prevent enemies from hitting you when engaged in a firefight.
* If an enemy survives the shot, finish them off with a Primary or Backup weapon.
* Its Wall Break ability is useful for attacking enemies behind objects such as walls and behind cover.
* Though it has decent mobility, it is recommended to equip a Melee weapon when travelling around the map.
* Avoid sticking to one sniping spot as users can track the weapon's lasers to its source.
=== Counters ===
* If engaged in a sniper duel, take time to aim.
* Area damage weapons and shotguns can quickly finish users off.
* Strafe around the user while firing to avoid getting hit.
* Try to wait until the user is out of ammo, then attack while they are vulnerable.
* It fires a noticeable laser, keep an eye out for the source of the laser as it may indicate the general area of where the user may be.
* Flank around the user with a shotgun or melee weapon and attack them from behind.
* Avoid being caught in the open when there is a sniper, stick to cover and locate the sniper then attempt to countersnipe them with your own.
* Flamethrowers and shotguns can be useful for quickly killing users at close range.
