The burst is a one-shot weapon that, when fired, will fire loads of L4 bullets in every direction. These bullets will not hurt any enemy until they have bounced off a wall or other obstacle. These bullets stay around for a short while, inflicting massive damage when bounced off a wall and hitting an opponent. Bursts can be obtained by collecting greens. The most obvious place to use a burst is a place with lotsa walls. This way, you will make sure that most of the bullets will activate by bouncing off a wall, maximizing the effect of a burst. Use it when an enemy is chasing you in a small tunnel, and watch the bullets tear his ship to pieces. Using it when in a corner of a large room will also give you lots of bullets flying around, all you have to do is try to get the enemy as close as to the corner as possible to kill him. One thing you shouldn't do when an enemy fires a burst is repel. It will bounce the bullets away, only to see them bounce back just as fast, killing you and your teammates in the progress. The best thing you can do is sit and wait, and dodge a little bit till the burst times out and disappears. On the other hand, if you fired a burst, you'll want the enemy to eat as much of it as possible. Simply repel him, and he'll bounce around, taking a lot of damage from the burst. When beginning to play, you'll probably think that the burst is a really powerful weapon. It IS very powerful alright, but I doubt if you will be able to kill veteran players with it. Having a burst is one point, but knowing how to use it is worth 10. Veteran players have seen it all, and have tried lots of tricks to kill people with their bursts. Think before you shoot the burst, that it'll give you a good feeling when you kill someone that way, and it will make you a better player.
