Does breaker spray and pray need a buff? if not, what situations does it shine in?

[Squirt Games]

Seems completely and laughably overshadowed by the incendiary

Oh yeah, no, I think Breaker Spray 'n Pray could use... something. Maybe revert the ergonomics nerf they did. Inceendiary turns faster, generally kills the enemies you're meant to be shooting with Spray and Pray better, has burn dots so any 1 pellet hits on the weakest enemies results in them burning.

I think the one thing the Spray 'n Pray might have going for it is like... better part damage? But I can't exactly confirm that. Bigger mags, too, maybe, but the low handling kinda kills my want to use it against bugs.

it is, snp was was my go shotty untill i unlocked the fire one. it is supposed to have more pellet count per shot, but it does not make up for the damage.

It is a weapon that is realistically only good against bugs. It has very little advantage over the incendiary breaker (able to interrupt light bugs from breaching/attacking, fast projectile velocity, wide cone of "get outta here!" pellets for hunters). It is nice how it can be used to break charger rears, which gives it a weird zone of enemies it is decent against (scavengers, hunters, warriors, and chargers...odd).

Personally I do not know why incendiary breaker still has so much per-shot normal damage and that the spray and pray has worse handling (seems like both should be flip-flopped). Actually I logically know why, it is because of player anti-nerf sentiment, even if small balance changes for the entire breaker line is warranted.

it doesnt need a buff, it needs the nerf reverted.

You want it to go back to when it was the only weapon with an armor penetration of 1 and did 50% damage to warriors?

I didn't use it then. Was it actually good in that form?

Lmao, no.

We don't talk about the Breaker "0 damage to eggs" Scrub'n'Wash.

Plainly said, the gun's always been absolute trash. It was meme-worthily trash before its 'buff', now it's just an ordinary trash gun, one among many trash guns in the pile.

It has no realistic advantages or practical applications over any other shotgun.

i mean im sure to an extent they are, at least if you mean the terminid front, the same doesn't apply as heavily to the bots but its still pretty powerful there too

[Vivianite]

its ok, feels like old breaker tbh. bugs or bots it works without too much of a gimmick needing to be capitalized on like fire DoT from one pellet. striking your target, it just does damage and does what it says on the tin can, spray a lot of pellets, do a lotta prayin

As things are, it has no reason the exist given that the incen is a thing.

it used to have a niche against hive tyrants. sprayed their head off in about 3-5 shells then put them down with 2 more. would mow down a small horde of them. now it struggles against pretty much everything. I guess it's nice against hive guards because you dont need to aim, but each one is going to take a solid 7+ shells.

the hipfire is laughable and it turns like a whale.

I think they should have an electronic variation / explosive that melts bots like the incendiary does bugs.
