What are some tips for using the Shelling Nano?
The Nano's hip-fire is surprisingly accurate, with the burst landing square within the aiming circle, making it exceptionally easy to use at close range. However, it is missing the S49's ability to execute Strikers to the back of the head, since the first bullet in the burst pops the head and causes the second bullet to miss. The Nano is equipped with a good flashlight and is comfortable for exploration purposes. It performs badly against Chargers, requiring exactly 5 bursts to kill one.
