How to Play Sidewinder

Fire Rounds in Short Bursts

The Sidewinder's recoil is quite difficult to control so we strongly advise that you fire in short bursts instead of emptying a whole clip in one go.

Perhaps the only great advantage of this weapon is its pin-point accuracy at long range, so consider playing in a passive manner while you have this Battle Rifle equipped.
