* This weapon is very general-purpose, allowing you to fulfill a large multitude of roles due to its high damage, a rate of fire, and high magazine capacity.
* The large ammunition supply for this weapon allows you to dominate firefights with ease. You can shred multiple enemies at once, or lay down suppressive fire for teammates.
* This weapon suffers a lot of accuracy loss at a range. Close the gap before enemy snipers can pin you down and kill you with relative ease.
* This weapon will quickly down unarmored opponents in direct combat. If possible, pack a secondary weapon to take out such users and save ammunition for tougher opponents.
* Try to get ammo for it, due to it having no backup ammo when starting (175/0).

* With sufficient training one can estimate where a sprayed bullet might go and direct the weapon as to it, this greatly minimizes the chances of wasted ammo and increases viability in long range matches.
* When cornered this weapon is excellent at killing a few players before being killed yourself.
* This goes extremely well with backup weapons with a scope and high damage to create combo kill shot.(reduce enemy armor with the sheer gun speed and finish them off with a scoped in headshot, the bullet firing speed can easily panic inexperienced players and shred players at lower levels, upon reaching high levels however, it is recommended to either upgrade this weapon or go for the Heavy Shotgun, where three headshots is sufficient to kill even ruby armor players)
* Play close range maps. For example; Pool Party. This weapon will be very useful.
* Due to this weapon having a low mobility, bring a high mobility weapon. Also, because it cannot hit as well in long ranges, bring a good sniper weapon.
* This is a good weapon for modes such as Co-op Survival and Arena. In these modes, aim at the body of enemies and fire away. Because each hit gives 5 points, you will rapidly gain tons of points from enemies like Double Headed Zombie because of their high HP.

* This is useful to target enemies who are taking cover or already did so.
* This weapon is the bane of all defensive capabilities (like shield and barricades) that you could spam its bullets to determine where the hiding players are.
* Pair this with the Third Eye (if you have one) so you can easily snipe enemies who are hiding.
* This weapon is a great counter to the Third Eye. Since this weapon has wallbreak while not sacrificing any zoom like the Prototype, you will have the advantage against it in a sniper duel.
* This gun is very good for taking people using the Jetpack as the wall-break bullets will not reveal the player's location.

### Counters

* Pick off its users from long ranges.
* The average mobility makes its users easier to pin down.
* Be careful when crossing into an enemy-controlled territory. If the user catches you when you are unaware, you will likely be unable to escape or retaliate.
* The Automatic Peacemaker has a very distinct and loud report, alerting enemy players to a firefight. This can be used to your advantage by making the user appear as a target to a teammate or enemy player.
* If you must attack directly, attack with the support of teammates, but fan out, as if you group together, the high rate of fire can shred you all.
* This weapon lacks a scope, making it difficult to fight at long ranges. Use this advantage to pick off the user from a distance and back off if you have to.
* Approaching this weapon with a very irregular path will help avoid getting hit.
* Approach from behind the user if you can and pick off its users from long ranges.
* Do not try to hide, as chances is that the user will just blindfire out of nowhere.
* Keep out of this gun's users' sight.
