Can I just have some general tips on the Biohazard?
I've used the gun for some time. I've used it as a bomb chain, also like a regular gun. How do you make the most of it. Don't tell me to look at another thread, since I have a particular case. My Biohazard now has CTR VH (got it in 3 rolls from Punch :o). How can I use this to my advantage, specifically?

Also, a side note, after spending about 200k crowns, I got a Glacius (ASI Med, CTR High) at the same time. Just thought I'd mention that, as I'm really happy.

NEUTRALIZER! GOOOOO!!!!

I've got Ultra (Soon to be Max) on mine... And I like to launch it at crowds...

So, fire for 20 secs... (After that they start to poof) then if its a large group, RUN AT THEM.

Just fire point blank and watch the crowd loose shape, and LOTS of members.

If you're in a team with people who don't seem to care about your charges... 3 is the magic number. Because starting at 3, the blast gets a little bigger, which is VERY useful.

SUUUDAAAAAAAAAARUUUUSSKAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Rangerwill I know how to use

@Rangerwill I know how to use it... I've used it for JK quite a bit. I'm talking about specific tactics people do. (Such as, having monster spread apart. Then spam charge on one. Move them all together, and then boom.)

My strategies with it

Strategy 1: Prototype 2 anyone?

-Find a Stray monster (one singled out farther away from a group)
-Put 3+ charges on it (If you want more, put more, depends on the situation)
-Get a group of enemies to follow you into a cluster. (You may skip this step if they're already clustered)
-Shield push the enemy into the group, followed up directly with shots to detonate him.
-Laugh.

Strategy 2: Bio-Vortex

-Place charges on either a single enemy, or a whole group of enemies at random.
-Put down a Vortex Line bomb, aiming to suck in as many of the charged enemies and other enemies into it.
-Fire your bullets to detonate as many of them in the time limit.

Strategy 3: Swordies are being master race kill everything while you Biohazard.
(This one's tricky, because it depends on how sword-busting they are doing.)
A.) If they are killing them before you can put on 3+ charges
-Target Strays and give them 3 charges
-Push them into biggest cluster and detonate.
or
-Target smallest cluster and give them 1-2 charges
-Detonate
B.) If everyone is pushing them around too much, but not really killing them quickly.
-Try to get off as many single charge detonates as possible.
-If this fails because they push out of charge shot, simply use the 3 shots it gives. It's rather good if you're not carrying a Sentenza.

Strategy 4: Checkmate Lumbers & Death Wing. : (Lumbers are harder to push, harder to kill, giving you ample time to work your strategy due to not getting hurt, and unable to kill super easy unless they're bringing a FoV or something, and as for wing... they follow enemies. They do your job for you.)
- Put 4-6 Charges on a lumber / wing
-Push into enemy group and/or Vortex.
-Detonate.

Another thing you need to know is the weapon is still viable without charge-spam. If need be try to get 1 charge off at least and detonate, trying to hit as many people with that as possible, because in my experience I've found the charge has a better chance to poison. Even without a single charge it can poison, and it's damage is good enough to maybe be a medium over the Sentenza line, so it's still decent for single target damage. (Not amazing, but not completely useless.)

Bring shiver/Glacius with

Bring shiver/Glacius with you.

The bullets won't break ice, so if you're clever and can get somepony in your party to bring a shivermist buster, then you'll be able to get them to freeze while you set up as long as you want and just obliterate them.

Also, keep in mind bullet positions. You can get a bunch of overlapping bullets, and then easily KO several enemies. Similarly, you can bring enemies towards or away from you. Notice also that bullets start at North and travel counter clockwise. This means that when you charge shot+normal shot, that enemies will always travel from left to right, regardless of your angle on them.

Turrets are your best friend- cover them up and then lure crowds into them for massive damage.

How did I forget turrets.

I do that strategy so often it feels natural enough to not be a strategy lol.
