Everyone besides me is using the Respawn Punisher lol. I hope this doesn\u2019t catch on.<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Tacticooler is a special weapon where players can place a cooler containing 4 drinks in a spot of their choosing. Teammates that grab a drink can receive a variety of temporary bonus effects. Among them are Quick Respawn and Special Saver which reduce the risks that come with being splatted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following adjustment was made to the Tacticooler in Ver. 2.1.0:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f9f9f9\">Tacticooler\u2019s Quick Respawn and Special Saver will no longer be negated by gear abilities Respawn Punisher and Haunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Respawn Punisher is a gear ability that increases the respawn time and lowers the special gauge of both the user and the players they splat. You could say its a double-edged sword since it poses a risk to both the player and their opponent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haunt is a gear ability that lets players track those who splatted them upon respawn. When an opponent inflicted with Haunt is splatted, they receive the same punishment as the Respawn Punisher with a decreased special gauge and increased respawn time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the update, the effects of Respawn Punisher and Haunt would negate the effects of the Tacticooler\u2019s Quick Respawn and Special Saver. But now that the Tacticooler has been buffed, there\u2019s no need to worry about its bonuses being negated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Tacticooler can now negate the penalty of Respawn Punisher on yourself, meaning players can avoid the risk of using Respawn Punisher while using it against opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for why players are using the N-ZAP &#8217;85, that\u2019s likely because it\u2019s a relatively easy weapon to use among those with the Tacticooler special weapon. Of course, other weapons that use the Tacticooler are still viable as well.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230118-234063-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Since Ver. 2.1.0 has only just released, we\u2019ll likely see players devising even more builds going forward.
