How To Use The Mammoth Pistol

With a big reload time, the Mammoth Pistol can be a little tricky to use. You only get one shot before each reload, so make it count.

At long range,stand still until the crosshair is small. This ensures that your shot is accurate. You can even crouch to do this quicker. At medium range, you canperform a slide-kickto confuse your enemies, and then fire the weapon as and when you like it.

You can hip-fire the weapon without worrying about aiming, and it’ll still do a lot of damage. This is good for situations where you don’t have time to stop and aim.
