One of the things I love about this gun is that it rewards patience even though it's a short range weapon. All things being equal, the general rule with pretty much every other gun will be that the person who shoots first wins. Not so with the Thunder:

In a Thunder v Thunder engagement, the first player to shoot does so at the furthest range. As the two robots charge each other to close the range, the first shooter will use up their ammo fastest, leaving them with a much lower fire rate at close quarters when the weapon would have been deadliest. Meanwhile the player who was patient, held their fire and took the damage during the charge, can now unload at point-blank with the full, furious fire rate of their Thunder. Turning the tables on a player who thought they had the drop on you is one of the most satisfying things about the Orkan!
