Deep End

The is a Backup weapon introduced in the 19.1.0 update. It can obtained from the Slashers Lottery.
==Description==
It is a harpoon pistol that fires explosive harpoons. It deals moderate initial damage, but deals high damage upon exploding. This is paired with an average firerate, a one-shot capacity, and decent mobility.
== Appearance ==
The pistol itself features a black pistol grip and trigger with a silver body, silver iron sights, and a harpoon protruding at the front.
The harpoon itself is grey with a silver head, and a small piece of C4 near the head.
==Performance==
When the fire button is pressed, the weapon will launch a harpoon front the front. The harpoon will stick to any surface or enemy and will detonate after 3 seconds, dealing splash damage.
After firing each shot, the user will load in another harpoon from the front.
== Strategy ==
It deals moderate initial damage, but deals high damage upon exploding. This is paired with an average firerate, a one-shot capacity, and decent mobility.
=== Tips ===
* Strafe around the enemy while attacking.
* Stealthily approach the enemy in the blind side, and attack them.
*Its harpoons are not hitscan, meaning that they have a fast travel time but are not instant.
**It is recommended to compensate the distance when the target is running.
*When used in close quarters back off from the enemy once a harpoon is stuck, as a common tactic is to rush into the person that shot him to try to get him/her caught in the blast.
* Avoid being in open areas while attacking, especially where snipers are present.
* It does have some viability in crowd control due to its area damage abilities.
* It excels best in close range maps such as Pool Party and Silent School due to the harpoons having a higher chance to deal additional damage against enemies around the tagged enemy.
* It is best to avoid using this weapon within the distance of a P.H.A.D.O, as the harpoon will fail to detonate.
=== Counters ===
*Pick off the user at long range.
*Area damage and shotguns make quick work of users.
*Strafe while jumping to minimize the damage from the weapon.
* Stay away from its users since they might have equipped a more powerful weapon.
* If attacked from behind, escape from the user while firing back at them.
* If hit, try to charge towards the user and kill them to remove the explosion.
** Alternatively, when the user tries to detonate, rush towards them and get them close enough the blast radius.
** Also, when the user detonates, stay away from teammates as the explosion might damage them as well.
* The P.H.A.D.O can prevent the detonation, be within its range when the countdown starts.
