== Appearance ==

== Strategy ==
The weapon deals high damage, able to kill crystal armored players in one burst to the head and two to the body. This is also paired with a somewhat moderate accuracy, a decent fire rate, and mobility.
=== Tips ===
* As its name implies, it should only be used for defense, meaning at close range due to its spread while firing.
* Aim for the head for a one burst kill.
* The weapon can fire through walls, meaning it can be used behind cover.
* It can be useful against low flying jetpack users due to its hitscan and spread.
* The lasers will stay for half a second, making it easy for enemies to track your current location.
** If that happens, try moving to a different location instead.
* If not careful, one could burn through the weapon's ammo reserves quickly, try to reduce using the weapon in unnecessary encounters.
* Use the scope when engaging users at longer distances.
* The weapon can be paired well with the Energy Shield as the shield can provide cover while the weapon has no problem with attacking behind cover,
* Use it to finish off weakened opponents.
* The weapon can be used for suppressive fire, as well as for killing enemies behind cover.
=== Counters ===
* Pick off the user at long range with a Sniper weapon.
* Area damage and shotguns can make quick work of users at close range.
* Try avoiding the general direction of where the user is firing, this is especially true when the user is firing at a distance.
* Use melee weapons when at close range from behind or at their blind spot.
* Avoid hiding behind cover that can be low enough for the user to see your head.
* Use a Smoke Grenade to reduce visablity for users and to move behind cover.
* Strafe and jump. This forces the user waste his/her ammo rapidly.
