Like its Vanilla and Kensa variants, the .52 Gal Deco has a powerful two-shot splat and – ever since the Version 5.4.0 update – good turfing ability, which is augmented by its range, which exceeds that of other short-ranged shooters. This variant is specialized for use on flat, long, and narrow stages, particularly Walleye Warehouse and Port Mackerel. Otherwise, the lack of synergy between the main and special weapons creates an identity crisis for the weapon's role.[2]
