BALROG-V

Balrog-V or Balrog-5 is a Balrog rifle based on the German Heckler &amp; Koch G36C and was built by the Aegis Institute.

Overview
Balrog-V is chambered with 40 rounds of 5.56mm AHE, specialized bullets developed by the Aegis Institute. This weapon is equipped with the Balrog Charging System which enables the Balrog-V to fire explosive rounds and gradually increase the weapon's damage after continuous fire.

Unlike Balrog-VII, its explosive shots can be done after 15 continuous shots on a single target. If the user shoots on other target(s), the explosive shots cannot be done or will be canceled. However, once the explosive shots occur, there will be non-stop explosive shot on the target until the user stops firing. Those explosive shots are very deadly and the user can continue to do it even after reloading, as long as the user is aiming at the same target.

Tactics facing Balrog-V users
Classic Battle= Zombie Infection=
 * Balrog-V users are fast and very deadly at close to middle range with their large magazine size and high accuracy. They can take you down easily.
 * Avoid confront Balrog-V at close quarter battles, 1~2 shot to the head or 3-4 shot to the body will kill you instantly.
 * Sniper rifles are recommended.
 * Surprise attacks or far-range combat is recommended too.
 * They are very deadly with their Balrog Charging System, so work in groups or infect them quickly.
 * Jump to avoid continuous hit which can make the user hard to activate the explosive shots.
 * Aware of Balrog-V users in ducts since you have limited space to escape.
 * Strike the user in a group will make the user ends up with insufficient ammo.
 * Light-type is recommended due to small hitboxes. Skilled players can do bunnyhop to dodge Balrog-V bullets. However, Heavy-type can also be useful with their high knockback resistance.
 * If you are lucky to have another zombie player in the way or another human player standing in their way while the user is shooting you, use these advantages to cancel the Balrog Charging System.
 * If you are a Light-Type Zombie, try to save your comrades that are under constant fire of Balrog-V by jumping in front of your friend. This will negate the Balrog Charging System and also save your friend especially in Zombie: The Mutation where the player cannot respawn after dying.
 * Try not to attack Balrog-V user alone even with Heavy-Type Zombies since although it has low magazine size, it reloads faster than other rifles. Remember that Balrog Charging System is still operating after reload and also deadly when combined with Deadly Shot skill.
