Keep one body length
A single clean backward strafe denies the trace. Do not let a doorway remove your escape route.
Weapon 01Melee
Gauntlet
No ammo. No distance. No excuses.
The Gauntlet is every player's permanent last resort and the loudest possible flex. Its short trace hits for 50 damage, but getting close enough against an armed opponent is the real challenge. Use movement, corners, and spawn timing to turn a desperate tool into a humiliating finish.
- Silent corner traps

Core techniques
- 01
Cut the corner
Hide the approach and begin the swing before you clear the edge. The trace lands the moment a target enters reach.
- 02
Ride their movement
Strafe with the opponent instead of chasing their crosshair. Matching direction keeps you in contact for the follow-up hit.
- 03
Make noise useful
The motor announces your position. Rev it deliberately to force a rushed escape into a teammate or a prepared firing lane.
How to counter it
Use knockback
Rockets, plasma, and lightning all break contact while dealing damage. Aim low enough to push the attacker away.
