Stats[]

  • On Hit: Damage dealt is returned as ammo
  • No reload necessary
  • Per shot: -30 metal
  • Uses metal for ammo

The Widowmaker is one of the Engineer's primary weapons. This weapon is a high-risk high-reward weapon, as you can easily run out of metal quick and you will be defenseless, aside from your secondary. That said, you can dispense tons of damage quickly if you can hit your shots, as each bullet gives back 3 metal, giving no need to reload.

Weapons to pair it with[]

Any wrench is fine with it, but the Gunslinger is preferred. The cheaper mini-sentries help keep your metal up and can help in times when there aren't many enemies coming towards you. As for the secondary, the Pistol and Wrangler are both good options. The Wrangler can be used for offense to wrangle you sentries and can be a great asset, but you will be completely helpless once you run out of metal. So if you're a bad shot, I suggest using the pistol as you won't be good as dead when you run out of metal. Both can be used, but just don't use the Short Circuit, as its short range and metal usage is horrible when paired with the Widowmaker.

Playstyle[]

The Widowmaker is best used when playing battle engineer, as it is great for offensive purposes. Sneaking up on enemies and sinking in a few meat shots is a great way to deal some damage or get some kills. If you do run out of metal though, you will need to switch to your wrench or secondary, and either run away or fight.
