If they buff the shotgun they should this: 1. Make more consitant with the arc and up damge 2. The rate of fire shoul be increase 3. At letast ignore some medium armor
it definitely needs to pass through targets and ignore armor like the regular arc thrower. because right now with the very short range and long reload. its garbage. which hurts me to think about as I want to like it.
It kills every single medium target in the game. No exceptions. It just does nothing versus heavy armour. Like pretty much every primary in the game. And to the other guy, it's not a support weapon like the arc thrower. It doesnt take up a strategem. That's just an unfair comparisation. The only way they compare is that they both have unlimited ammo.
Its good vs bugs if you run eat or some other long range antitank, very slow at killing chargers, you should be aiming head, not legs, but its too slow at that even when faster than attacking legs. Its crap vs bots as it doesnt target weak spots. Its main use is controlling bugs enmass as they come close enough and in a huge group. There are no one single overpowered primary anymore, even breaker is crap now, slugger seems good, but against bots, scorcher or the plasma punisher do much better. Primaries arent meant to replace support weapons, people hoping for some OP primary dont play at high enough levels to recognise situations when youd want infinite ammo and aoe with good 1 shot cleave in near range. And no, its not meant to rescue you from bad situations if you suck and put yourself there in the first place.
This. I think it is important to see how the entire kit fits together instead of only looking at the primary weapon and declare whether it is good or bad. If one decides to make the primary, support weapon and stratgems occupy similar roles in combat, it doesnt matter whether ur primary is S tier and u are still gonna have a bad time
I wouldn't mind this weapong if it have some of these two: Or a little higher rate of fire, enough to perma stun a devastator on melee range, making him not able to shoot you, or better acuracy on which I'm aiming for, and then the arc can jump on w/e you want. On situations of high stress and density hordes on dif 9 you want your weapong have some capabilities of crowd control or killing key targets. If you cant kill a unit who is calling for reinforcements, or a hunter jumping on your head, etc, which is the main point of primaries, not coz you hadn't the skill to change weapons and aim him, but because your weapon have random behavior which doesn't allow you to do it, and, in adittion, it doesn't even excels on killing waves of chaffs arround you, I find some weapons less infuriating than this.
If you connect all arch’s into one target it’s actually the highest damage single shot of all primaries. It’s really not that bad. Probably C tier and I love it
Well that actually would make some sense. In a video game like HD I’d prefer not to have that real world law with how electricity works when shooting a airborne stalker because F stalkers.
would be fine if it could arc to multiple enemies a bit more consistently. Either up the chance for multiple primary arcs, or enable the ability for it spawn up to 1-2 secondary arcs. I think the slow fire rate is fun, but it needs to be more consistent in rewarding multiple hits when you do line up a good shots. A higher fire rate is an easy fix, but IMO its the lazy and less interesting one.
I learned that lasers and arc on weak points are not as effective as physical bullets. Example: I can put a whole clip of the new laser into an unarmored leg and nothing but a few bullets from my secondary and he is down. Same thing with stalkers and brood commanders.
Because it has infinite ammo, it is easy to get stuck on this gun for too long when u could have used ur support weapon to properly deal with situations where this gun is simply bad at in my opinion
It's probably going to end up being my favorite regardless. It's so satisfying seeing the lightning arc out. Plus if it's objectively bad then It probably will get buffed in the next balance patch
Why the fuck would they make the stalker like incredibly strong? It has high armor high health and invisible and super fast, it doesn’t even make sense man
Probably one of the better designed enemies TBH. Reminiscent of the field boss type enemies in Elden Ring. It usually pushes you away and ragdolls you instead of outright one shotting. Its power is made acceptable by the fact you can stop its spawn. Unlike the fucking spewer enemies, large but fast as fuck, silent as a whisper, no real weakspots, one shot bullshit tracking attack and can perform indirect fire, and spawns at a rate that is up the wazoo. Don't even get me started on the Hunters. The prevalence of one shot attacks on common enemies is asinine as hell, and they don't even obey the same physics. You can't shoot through the carcasses of the spewers, but the spewers can shoot through it. Like WTF.
@@N999_ Source: Discord and Reddit. They said they want you to relly on your stratagems and support weapons. Primaries are not ment to take the place of any of them. But this weapon could be better.
It even struggles into bugs. The main issue I had while running it for several hours is that unlike the arc support gun, if there is one target closer to you than the others in the pack (which is like all the time) it will send all bolts to the one target most of the time. There is no consistent “arc-ing” to other targets, which negates the whole reason someone might take it. This is detrimental when being swarmed. In addition, I found it not killing hunters even when hit with all bolts from the gun, which I think is a bit pathetic and makes it significantly less useful than the other guns unfortunately. I want to love this gun. It’s just so difficult.
@@Duran762 yeah i thought the same...but it even struggle against bugs compare to the arc thrower (ironically). i have more successful in surviving from bugs with the arc thrower than the BLITZER. the only good thing blitzer can do is stun and annoyed enemies to dead _ 250 damage seem good until you realized it probably divided damage per bolts, can't really tell how many bolts but it very weak if it shoot many targets _ 25m range (it shotgun so i let this one slide) _ fire rate is too slow, the only good tactic is to take the revolver as the backup plan, fire the blitzer > revolver and then repeat....it quite tiring combo tho _ stun lock target (well punisher and slugger can do that so it not that special) _ chain target (not even sure if it able to chain target or not)
@@adolfo2781while I do fully agree with you I don't think we should compare this to a support weapon. Support weapons are supposed to be more powerful than our primaries. That being said, the Blitzer is absolute trash, regardless of the enemy type you're facing.
It's a joke of a Warbond. Useless armor perks as well. Sickle and stun grenade are the only good things. 2 good things from 3 pages of garbage. Amazing. They need to play their own game for once, or even, hell, I don't know, read the shittiness of the stats of the weapons they put in.
@@bravingbrivatebrian Honestly the Sickle is such an insanely balanced primary that its effectiveness needs to be the barometer to which every new primary is measured.

Super. Thank you for cutting edge weapons reviews ;)
"We have arc thrower at home"
i think everything is fine and I wish reload speed is faster.
Did it not hurt the Stalker as he was in there air and there wasn't a ground for the electricity (therefore no air damage)?
Well that actually would make some sense. In a video game like HD I’d prefer not to have that real world law with how electricity works when shooting a airborne stalker because F stalkers.
Seems like there is a minimum range before it will hit multiple enemies, and that you have to hip fire for it to do it as well

Emperor Palpatine gun!!!
Id like to see you aim above the walker bots to see if it would arc over the armor
just 1 question, is it charge it self or need charge manual like arc thrower?
it charge it self
gotta turn that random camera shake off after everyshot lol
still the breaker is the No1 for me
I love that it's either the best or the worst weapon

Buff the Arc Shotty to 60-80 fire rate. It'll be solid then.

i expected this thing can ignore armor but it not....arc thrower still better
Arc thrower is a stratagem, of course it's better
This vs punisher plasma?
Ah... Well Breaker it is then.
Pretty good for bugs.
I tried so hard to make it work vs bots.....it would not =( 4 shots to kill 2 basic rifleman bots just standing there? No thanks =/
It’s so bad. I love it
thank god I saw this before i got the weapon :D , I will never get it now, also I'm pretty sure they will buff it later because it is absolute trash.
Another disappointment. Only the Sickle is somewhat useful.
its completly useless againts bots
oh yeh its utter garbage against bots
Wow it is so bad lmao. Low fire rate and dmg who would have guessed.
Its good against bugs but dont use against bots its so bad 😬

Looks trash to be honest
It's straight garbage and I wish they would stop riding this line of primaries being bad for no reason other than arbitrary difficulty
