Notes

• Since the Sapper uses local immunity frames, it means that it does not lose any damage output due to invincibility frames.
• Sappers have impact damage.
• Sappers cannot stack their damage as only one sapper can attach itself to an enemy. New sappers destroy any existing sappers on the same enemy.
• Sappers stun by resetting their target's velocity to zero.

Strategies

• The Sapper should only be thrown to sap an enemy. The Spy should use his other weapons instead of continuously throwing more Sappers.

  • Sappers don't have impact damage nor can be thrown in the original game.
  • Sappers are placed onto buildings or robots in the original game.
  • Sappers can only be attached to buildings or robots in the original game.
