    NOTE: For now, this guide is Sniper only. As I experiment with good moneyball destroying spots/techniques for other classes, I'll update this. This will be a WIP from the moment I start writing it.

    Picture this: You're playing with a team of randoms on Steel Peel. You're sniping, simply to prove a point in a thread about Sniper being OP. You hear Pit Girl's sweet voice in your ears telling you about the enemy's shields being down. You begin charging in, and juice!

    You promptly are grappled and sent flying off the arena.

    As you look at the protag of the enemy who killed you, (One Man Show), and his gamertag (BongzBlazin420), you think "What did I do wrong?"

    Okay, nightmare scenario over.

    When the enemy's moneyball is down, the pressure is on. It's on both you AND them.

    It being easier to defend, it's mostly on you.

    If you can't handle said pressure, this may be for you.

    "Wrong Moneyball"

    Depending on your class, you might be an 'A' student at Moneyball Rape University (MRU) or you could be a dropout.

    Sniper

    Now, maining Sniper, I've learned a few things in my time on MNC. One of them being good spots to snipe the ball from (on every map but LazeRazor).

    ---------------------------------
    Steel Peel
    ---------------------------------

    This is my personal favorite moneyball killing map, simply because I found a kickass spot.

    Now, spawn and take the jump pad over to the walkway (or don't. It's situational.) and go into their back walkway to their base.

    Right when you hit the actual 'walkway', STOP.

    Turn left, and look through the crack in the glass.

    See that?

    That's your ticket to an endgame screen with Pit Girl celebrating your victory.

    You can shoot the moneyball from there, you can shoot the turrets from there, you can shoot players from there.

    Overall, a great spot to hit enemies from the side and take their attention from the front so your teammates can pour in.

    You can also go on top of that wall, but you're basically a goddamn billboard that says 'SHOOT ME'.

    ---------------------------------
    Ammo Mule
    ---------------------------------

    Alright, spawn, and hug the right (or left. Again, situational.) and go all the way to their base, but through the areas surrounded by walls on the outside. Scope in away from the "windows" to the bot spawn, and walk up to it.

    Turn to moneyball and unload.

    ---------------------------------
    Grenade III
    ---------------------------------

    Now, this changes depending on your team/side you're pushing.

    Basically, the formula is to go past the bridge closest to their base, and immediately hug the far side.

    You should be able to see through a crack in a turret nub (or turret) and a wall and fire on the money ball.

    WARNING: This is a very high risk spot. You'll have to move a bit. If you're getting pushed on too hard, juice and run in no-scoping/quick-scoping the ball.

    ---------------------------------
    LazeRazor
    ---------------------------------

    A good idea for this map is to go through the tunnel, and go to the very back wall of the tunnel.

    If you turn, you should be able to see through the 'jump pad holder' and the wall and shoot the moneyball.

    WARNING: This is a very high risk spot. You'll have to move a bit. If you're getting pushed on too hard, juice and run in no-scoping/quick-scoping the ball.

    ---------------------------------
    General Moneyball Killing Tactics (Sniper)
    ---------------------------------

    All I really have to put here is do NOT use your SMG. It sucks for this.

    If you can get close enough, and have Flak 3, it's worth it to throw it on, then run back to your spot.

    (I know which one hurts everything if you need help dont be afraid to message me bro) Another thing if I may is this:

    MONEY BALL (Sniper):
    Sniper Rifle= Lethal to the moneyball even more deadly when juiced.
    SMG: Quick little money but does very minimal damage even when juiced.
    Flak Ball: Very alike the SMG but has a higher chance of getting a turret or PRO kill. (Only attack moneyball if you have level 3 of this)
    :D

    All of these work for the rail gun too.

    Is juicing and sniping the moneyball effective? Whenever I try it, the damage output doesn't seem all that great.

    In Regulation Time, you'll do a good amount of damage.

    In Overtime, you can destroy the ball from 100% health in one clip.

    Are you running Gold ROF? Because it helps. a LOT.

    Well its more organized & telling the player what is best & not. Mine was just a better description but ya you did mention it just not in the full potential.

    You must be kidding. I'm fairly certain that while juiced the sniper rifle is the single most effect weapon in the game against the moneyball.

    Yeah I do use Gold ROF. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, because there will be times when I juice up, shoot the entire length of juice and the moneyball still wont be close to dead. If I'm spamming with the sniper rifle, can I hold the trigger down? Or should I be using the trigger every time I shoot?

    I don't believe the trigger auto fires if you hold it down, I always hit it every time. With juice you should be taking down around 25%-50% of the moneyball, but in overtime you can take the whole thing down in a single juice.

    Personally, I would NEVER shoot the moneyball through the windows in the side rooms on Ammo Mule. Too dangerous. It's much easier to aim at the moneyball through the doorway on their side and move toward their end of the map so that you can aim past their shields. You can snipe at the corner of their moneyball this way and most people won't know where the damage is coming from because you're either not anywhere near the moneyball or using Sniper's level 3 AoE explosion, which catches a bit more attention than the bullet tracer indicating where it came from.

    I can't be the only person who knows about this... :(

    Juice sniper is the fastest ball killer. You can just hold the trigger down, whoever asked.

    I do this frequently with the tank's rail gun. Even without juice. :)
