Better than people think against bugs (trash against bots).

It is a run and gun weapon; it allows you to quickly turn around for a shot that hardly even needs to be aimed. And the only reason I say "hardly" is because how you shoot it does matter to make it more consistent. you want to aim above and between multiple targets to get multiple bolts to spread far more often. Unfortunately, so many people try to treat it like arc thrower, but it simply isn't the same.

With that said, wont ever be a top tier bug weapon due no real heavy damage potential, but you can trash clear very well with it.

[batpunkgaming]

With an arc thrower, it's great. Arc thrower as a primary, blitzer when they get too close, and if you get swarmed too close, machine pistol. Just fix your loadouts

[jalontf]

Gotta pair this bad boy with a Guard Rover and reevaluate...good positioning is a must, and when you get the flow of the weapon it becomes S tier (for me at least)

[elvisman]

I helldive with it. Perfect with Lazer guard dog. But I notice you use it wrong, don't stand and wait for next show. You can run and just turn to fire. Really good kiting weapon also has 25 to 30m range, way longer then it looks.

[MichaelGarcia-ncom]

It deals damage and stuns bots... I love it!
Dive to keep a safe distance, and you'll be good. Infinite ammo is a huge plus when paired with the arc thrower and redeemer and impact granade.

[diydrivenGA]

Its pretty decent now and great for controling swarms and kiting them while running.

I wouldnt pair this with a arc thrower but instead the queso cannon or flame thrower and the jet pack and a grenade pistol. Only issue is that this loadout is close range and youll likely get killed more by your team mates with itchy strategem fingers.

[onethousandmuffins]

I probably was expecting too much from it when I took it solo into a level 5 eradication mission, but this thing wasn’t killing with any semblance of reliability. Barely arced to anything, inconsistent damage, taking three shots to kill a raider (and even at point blank) coupled with its piss-poor fire rate and I’m putting this thing at the bottom easily

[ichmagbigmacs-_-]

The fire rate got buffed today to 45 shots per minute (from 30)

[CarlosDiaz-jebg]

You will have to revisit this now that it got a huge buff

[ethanc.]

Is there a point in evaluating each gun in a vacuum? Every single one has its own weaknesses. Why not rank complete builds (primary plus stratagems). The Blitzer is a great gun when paired with complementary strats.

[kris]

Hip fire for groups.

ADS for accuracy.

ADS reduces the spread significantly which is grrat against hive guards, brood commanders, Stalkers, as it staggers them.

The gun is actually pretty good but if you stay stationary then you'll be helldiving in pretty soon

[tai]

So uh, this voice is AI right? The intonation is wrong

[sebastienchenier]

Complements the arc thrower perfectly as a close range OH Shit button

[Vageta]

Animation cancel the reload by shooting your secondary or support weapon and immediately switching back and it becomes a fucking beast. I take on level 8 bots because it has so much stopping power.

[lukemehalick]

Not bad against bugs especially after the 50% fire rate buff. It does NOT arc to other targets. It has 5 bolts that may fire, ive seen it shoot as few as 3, but as many as 5, but they can split in anyway between enemies. All 5 can hit one target or all 5 can hit different targets. Its best when paired with a squad that has some immediate impact weapons like the autocannon, & you, the blitzer user are point man. Dude is right as far as it not being consistent. Definitely not a solo weapon in my opinion, but can be S tier with the right squad backing you in those inconsistent moments

[delilama]

I disagree, the stun and knock back is the core of this weapon’s perk being unmatched. You can’t have a weapon not only stun lock the enemy that shoots like a sub machine gun. It would just be broken with crowd control that no mob can get close to you within 10meters. One thing I would recommend though, is that the fork damage should not be split from the 250 initial damage. Would be nice to have a fixed damage on the target you are pointing and then do a random damage that splits between the forked damage with say 60-80% of fixed damage

[syrvitor]

Counterpoint: It stunlocks Hulks though. gg ez.

Naturally, you can also two or one tap hulks with some weapons, but this baby can stun multiple bots running at you.

[thomaswright]

I tried and just too slow and to week vs normal enemies in mobs

[itachi]

Fire rate not even that bad, picked it up by accident running from a stalker saved my life

[USS_Daedalus]

At least buff Firerate to 50-60 would change this to a Good Weapon!
