* It's area damage attribute does not benefit from a headshot bonus so try to aim at the body instead.
** Alternatively, if accuracy isn't a strong-suit, try aiming at the ground around the target.
* Wearing speed increasing accessories can help offset the weapon's low mobility.
* When engaging in close range combat, aim for the feet or any surface area near the enemy, since this has area damage.
* Reload constantly as this weapon has a very small capacity for a rapid-fire weapon.
** Reloading after every kill out of every battle. It has a slow reload and can leave one vulnerable to enemies.
