The WORST Gun in Helldivers 2 | Breaker Spray and Pray (Patched! It was buffed :)

The Breaker Spray and Pray, a unique gun in Helldivers 2. People always look for the best guns, best weapon tierlists, best primary weapons, etc. But I wanted to showcase what I think is the absolute WORST gun in the game. The problem isn't with the DPS of the weapon, but the poor armor pierce that it comes with. Making it useless in 90% of the difficulties past like lvl 3. #helldivers2

It shoots bird shot. It may suck now but you're going to be begging for its help when the sparrow fleet starts conquering a planet near you.

[Teyloune]

This is the type of weapon I would love to use, but using it actually feels like a form of self-harm.

[GBugden]

Its almost exclusively for clearing Scavengers and the baby jumpers, and it cant even do those 2 well.

This gun feels like Helldivers 2 collaborated with NERF.

[BestShifty]

The key clue to its horrible performance is in the item description. This fires birdshot.

[unnero]

I used this thing ONCE and instantly knew it was complete shit when the bullets bounced off of Warriors and regular enemies. Like, what the hell??

[Willias]

The gun straight up says it sprays bird shot. It might not have any armor penetration.

That said, the Slugger lies about its armor penetration as well. It seems to be a medium armor penetration shotgun.

[CHESTNUT]

so many weapons need buffs, hopefully we get a arsenal overhaul soon since id like to use the laser cannon heavy weapon

[absoluteandrew]

They gotta fix armor penetration and then probably buff a whole lot of the weapons. Many of them just don’t perform well at all on Helldive difficulty.

[Gazooka]

Being realistic it would be firing birdshot which is why it’s crap for killing anything, now if it fired flechettes that would be way more practical

[keterclassentity]

They need to overhaul all of the armor peircing in the game rn it's so fucked

[bloodreaper]

Yeah, a penetration slider would be good because I have even noticed that with the revolver as well that it says light armor penetration, but I have no issue with medium armor.

[doomspud]

They definitely need to show more detailed stats on weapons. Especially on support weapon stratagems, where they tell you nothing about the weapon itself. I would love to know how the armor penetration of the grenade launcher compares to the anti-materiel rifle, or if the expendable anti-tank has better or worse damage than the recoilless rifle.

Armor penetration specifically is really important to know, because that's is the primary factor that determines what enemies you can use a gun against, and therefore what difficulties it can be useful on. Knowing whether you will be capable of dealing with medium or heavy armor before you drop would be nice, instead of just having hope for the best.

I also feel like this game would benefit from an armor breaking system similar to what Deep Rock Galactic has. Where even if your shot doesn't go through the armor, you can still weaken it, and eventually remove it with any weapon. This would allow for more weapon specialization, like having the grenade launcher be tuned removing armor, while the anti-materiel rifle is tuned for damaging through armor instead. And it would hopefully stop enemies like tanks and chargers from being such difficulty walls until you unlock one of the few weapons capable of actually hurting them at all.

[largamau]

The Slugger can penetrate even the armored warrior that hunkers down. The technique is you Shoot and reload shoot and reload you get almost unlimited ammo until it runs out.

[rclsm]

Honestly all the Steeled Warbond weapons are big on gimmick and low on actual usefulness.

[RyanRicardo-nwfe]

They should tweak it so guns like these excel at soft armor and weak spots at close so it would still be viable just a little harder to use, imagine if you could go for rear of the charger and actually kill it easily with these, obviously not as easy as having a railgun but would be cool.

[stormcrow]

Its a breaker with double the mag size!....but needs like 4 shots to do the work of 1 from the normal breaker

[Canis.Lupus.Arctos]

yeah, many stats for a lot of stuff seem kinda misleading for sure... if they're going to show stats then those should be accurate (unless is bugged, then they just need to fix it)...
also why show "light amor penetration" that is not medium or above, is just clutter since it doesn't matter..
the armor penetration rating graph would be much better indeed... easier to compare weapons at the very least...

[randyohm]

Actually, the armor pen of weapons isn't based on an invisible bar, it's based on projectile weight and velocity. So what they need to add is those stats.
