Tips

 * Kraken shoots two bullets in one burst. Practice is recommended to fully master this weapon. Increasing the weapons rate of fire decreases the gap between the two bullets' firings.
 * One can drop their aim to negate the kick on the second shot. With practice it is possible to snipe ranged targets, hitting with both bullets. If the first shot is aimed for the chest region, the recoil will knock the second bullet up, resulting in a headshot.

Trivia

 * The Kraken was released on the 14th of February, 2013 with update 6.3.
 * Kraken in Norse mythology are massive sea monsters which live off the coast of Norway and Greenland. They look like huge squids.
