"Overlord"

## Attributes

* Automatic
* 4X Zoom
* Armor Bonus

## Gameplay Information

The **"Overlord"** is a Primary weapon introduced in the 15.0.0 update.

## Appearance

It takes the appearance of the real-life FG 42 (Fallschirmjägergewehr 42) automatic rifle. It has a brown stock and handguard, and dark-colored finish with a mounted 4X ZFG42 scope.

## Strategy

It deals awesome damage, and has a decent fire rate, low capacity and above-average mobility. Its accuracy is very good.

### Tips

* You can use this weapon in most ranges due to the low recoil this weapon has. Once skilled enough, you can use this weapon in long ranges without using the scope.
* Use the Turbocharger module combination so as to compensate for its low capacity.
* It is good for targeting weakened enemies.
* Its lower capacity is a detriment for continuous fire, rendering it ideal for defense purposes.
* Aim at the head to deal more damage.
* While its decent fire rate can shred enemies easily, it lacks much ammo, so time your shots to not waste the ammo.
* This weapon is extremely accurate, so back off to avoid retaliation.
* It has good mobility, though not good as the Military Shotgun, so benefit from it.
* Its 4X scope makes it better at close to long-range attacks. Not recommended for continuous fire due to its low capacity. Use its ammo wisely.
* This is an acceptable weapon to tear down armor users.
* Since this weapon has a very low ammo capacity, ensure you have a backup weapon in case this runs out of ammo in the middle of a duel.
	+ Be forewarned that you can equip this with Explosive Rounds to make up for its average damage combined with lower capacity.
* Whenever you are forced to fight in close ranges, circle around the enemy and do headshots for this could tear down their armor, but be aware of your opponent's weapons and how they play.
* You could try to tear down their armor with this weapon and use a sniper/heavy weapon to finish them off, or vice versa.
* Pair this with the Turbocharger module combination so as to compensate with its low capacity.
* Close range is still viable but beware of shotguns and flamethrowers. The gun is still very accurate at hipfire.
* The weapon has amazing DPS (Damage per Second) for its grade, but it has to reload more often than other weapons. Try not to be exposed to quick-killing weapons such as the Frozen Dragon and Anti-Champion Rifle, but the reload is fast, allowing you to get back into the fight quickly.
	+ It shares this trait with the Golden Friend.

### Counters

* Pickoff its users from long ranges.
* Due to its low capacity. Take the advantage of its reload for the users' vulnerability to heavy fire.
* Area damage weapons can quickly deal with its users.
* Be warned that although that this is a primary, it is very useful in long range due to its awesome accuracy.
* This weapon can be easily countered by:
	+ Close-range: Flamethrowers, shotguns, or strong melee weapons. These weapons would be your best bet in close-range duels.
	+ Medium-range: Weapons such as the Automatic Peacemaker (PG3D), Minigun Pistol, Dragon Breath, and other high fire rate, high capacity or high-efficiency weapons could beat this weapon.
	+ Long-range: Any kind of weapon with a 4x or more scope should and will take these users down relatively easy.
* Skilled users can easily no-scope with this weapon, so do not stand still when countering its users.
* Never approach users of this in a straight line, as it is very easy, even at close range, as the user will grind you to pieces. Try to move in a more unpredictable fashion and hiding behind cover as you go, so when you pop up next to the user, he/she will have no time to react.
* Proceed to use a close-ranged weapon to destroy him/her.
	+ If you have a hard time with close range with these users, use a Sniper weapon to take them out. Just note that this weapon has a scope.
* Engaging these users in medium to close ranges will pose a very high level of risk, but weapons with high power and damage should be able to aid you to take these users out fairly easily.
	+ Shotguns (Devastator, Undertaker, etc.), High Fire rate weapons (Future Police Rifle, Champion Mercenary, Secret Forces Rifle, etc.), powerful weapons (One Shot, Wyvern), and strong/highly-mobile melee weapons (Elder Force Saber, Combat Yo-Yo, etc.) would be your ideal weapons of choice in countering them.
