Compared to other purple quality Jakobs pistols of the same level, The Flood has worse accuracy and less damage per hit, but the fire rate is higher than even most Jakobs assault rifles. The critical ricochets can put out a lot of area of effect damage.

Due to the low accuracy and strong recoil, hip fire in close quarters is recommended for using The Flood.
