When using the '''{{PAGENAME}''' either you, your target, or both will most likely be in motion, and this must be accounted for.

The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a particularly deadly weapon to both you and your targets in close quarters because of its area of effect. Your target will probably be jetpacking around, touching the ceiling, so shoot whichever surface your opponent(s) are nearest to. If you are uncomfortable doing this then replicate the tactic used outdoors and try to eyeball where your target will land, and shoot there. Be careful when your target is close to you as you may take just as much damage from your shots as they do. If you are hit by a '''{{PAGENAME}}''' explosion then you will be propelled away from the epicenter in addition to taking damage. This effect may be fatal in generator rooms that contain pits, so be sure to jetpack if you are knocked back in such a place and avoid the pits.

The Spinfusor is a particularly deadly weapon to both you and your targets in close quarters because of its area of effect. Your target will probably be jetpacking around, touching the ceiling, so shoot whichever surface your opponent(s) are nearest to.
