Bang Stick Tips?

[Amazingice]

Been playing the game a while and the one weapon I absolutely suck at is the Bang Stick. Anyone have any tip I could use? Thanks in advance.

1. Don't have your bangstick out at all times. Any smart shark will choose to attack you first since its easy to make out and you can easily kill him while he grabs someone else.
2. Use netgun once you can afford it.Immediatly dash towards the shark after netting it ,while switching to bangstick and hitting the attack to finish off the shark
3. dpv helps to get gold for netgun quicker including the upgrades not to mention chasing a low stamina shark (great white for example)that is already fleeing and running out of steam.

rest is just pratice really.

If you go net, barbed net is great for those pesky tanks

SeanXD is one of the best players in the game so what he says trumps everything else but I do use it a lot and I gotta say I agree with him entirely.
The first thing you should do however if you want to ♥♥♥♥ the sharks over is learn sound allocation. If you can hear the shark swimming and from where you can become the hunter quick.
Your bangstick is best against tiger.
Your bangstick can 1 hit tiger mako thresher and bull sometimes.
The hammer head lives with 1 health so you gotta get nabbed and stab him after.
JOUSTING HEAD ON AGAINST A SHARK WITH IT IS HOW YOU PRACTICE.
ALWAYS USE SHIFT TO DASH AT THEM WHILE ATTACKING.
Press attack right as you dash at them. Almost always.
Understand that sharks can kill you easily if they swim from under or above due to the diver hit box. To counter this use your iron sight with bang stick to aim down or up. (Advanced)
For practice use it in blood and gold until you git gud.
If you are fighting a GW then use a net gun. at level 3 the great white can't be netted but the damage it might do before they use their abillity will help.
If need be go mines to counter gw.
The hitbox seems active while you are retracting the bangstick btw.

avoid using the chivalry skin if you have it to, I'm not sure if it is still the same but it had a slightly shorter tip throwing timing off and it also took longer to reload too, this may have been fixed though.

simple dont use it, its broken as all hell and gun and melt through a sharks health but bangstick is thanking it a bit to far
