	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

• Phasma's Blaster Medallion increases the amount of shots the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle can fire continuously from 25 to 31 and decreases its cooldown time from 1.61s to 1.28s.
• The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle is most effective in medium ranges, and, as it's in game description suggests, is best used in a similar manner to a Heavy Assault Rifle.
• Avoid using the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle at long ranges because of the rifle's poor accuracy over great distances.
• Remember that the DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle's shots glow brightly, making it easier for opponents to see you shooting.
• The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle can be useful for draining an opponent's materials due to its infinite ammo reserve.
• The DC-15 Heavy Blaster Rifle is ideally paired with a sniper rifle or bow to compensate for its poor ranged accuracy.

Counters
