Strategy Guide[]

	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 Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle can fire continuously from 22 to 28 and decreases its cooldown time from 1.83s to 1.46s.
The Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle is best used in a similar manner to the Red-Eye Assault Rifle, acting as a sort of Assault Rifle/DMR hybrid, with a slow fire rate, average body damage, and a higher zoom scope.
The rangefinder on the scope of the Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle can be very useful when playing in modes with teammates, as you can call out enemy positions to teammates and the exact distance without marking them. This is especially important when actively engaging with an enemy, as often you won't have a chance to live ping them for your team.

Counters[]

The Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle, while hitscan, can struggle in accuracy at very far ranges, so using a more suitable weapon at farther ranges such as the IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle, can be beneficial when engaged with an opponent wielding the Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle.
The Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle also struggles in close-quarters engagements due to it's slow fire rate, so using a more suitable weapon such as the E-11 Blaster or CR-2 Blaster can be beneficial against an opponent with a Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle.

Weapon ID[]

Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle is referred to as Jethro Calm Rock in the files.
