The Bilge Pump

Info
The Bilge Pump resembles a Vaccinator with a large hose connected to a slightly team-colored wooden barrel, which is worn on the user's back. In addition, it has a number of gauges and valves all across its length, and the muzzle is reminiscent of a fireman's hose. It is white, with team-colored rings along the tube.

Strategy

 * Remember that you move slower (35%) when you fire the Bilge Pump. Pre-fire before going around corners for maximum effect.
 * This weapon is good for Spy-checking, due to the Wetness and mini-crits caused.
 * The BIlge Pump has an extremely short effective range. As such, be smart and set up ambushes and strong defensive positions.
 * The mini-crits are a boon to friendly Heavies and Soldiers. With your help they can wipe out any class in seconds.
 * You can put out teammates with the Bilge Pump.
 * The only way for you to collect ammo is to find an Ammo Pack. The relatively slow ammo drain should last you until you can find one, so long as you are careful with your firing.
