Tips[]
- When using these, remember that you must be really close and therefore expect yourself to be vulnerable to knockdowns, knockbacks, and enemy fire.
- Occasionally, you may find it hard to hit an enemy even if they are directly in front of you. This may be a small mesh problem associated with the weapon's short range.
Notes[]
- A good combo is to use the jump slide kick (sprint and then jump and crouch) at an enemy, which will knock them over.
Trivia[]
- The Ankyros was released on April 19, 2013 with Update 7.8 (2013-04-19).
