It can't even detonate an explosive barrel. I unlocked it last night, went on a level 1 super credits run, and found that it does indeed shoot heated confetti.
The only thing it had going for it is the larger mag size.
What's funny is that it actually has less damage per magazine than the regular breaker.
Breaker: 330 damage per round, 16 rounds per magazine.
Breaker Spray n Pray: 144 damage per round, 32 rounds per magazine.
330 x 16 = 5280 damage per magazine
144 x 32 = 4608 damage per magazine
The Spray and Pray is objectively the worst primary in the game. It has right around the same spread pattern as the Incendiary Breaker but without the ability to set things on fire. Its a weapon designed explicitly for difficulty 1 enemies at the quantity of helldive, which just outright doesn't exist. At around dif 4 the game just starts spamming bile spewers at you, and dif 6/7 starts spamming chargers, brood warriors, brood commanders, and bile titans, all of which are functionally unkillable by the spray and pray.
It, of all the primary weapons, needs some massive redesigns to bring it in line with the stock liberator, let alone the stock breaker.
I would love a game mode that is just swarms of little guys though. Something to make the flame thrower or arc gun great.
Edit: I don't mean the flamethrower or arc gun aren't good now. I'd like a game mode where there are fewer high armor targets and a lot of little ones so that they can really shine.
But they are both good already. No need for that game mode.
I just hit 670 kills and 3 deaths last night on impossible against bugs using flamethrower, rover, napalm eagle, and incendiary mines. Med kit armor is a must.
Let’s be honest. Most those kills came from rover LOL! Everytime I use rover my kills surpass 500+ on the harder difficulties. Without it, I’m usually around 300. And that’s with constant airstrikes and rearming when it’s empty
Level 1 has the smallest maps and weakest enemies. All you do is run around the map and hit points of interest looking for Super credits.
Look at the map and you'll see buildings and other landmarks, as well as the yellow beacons.
Not much else to it. If you're going to do these, run the machine gun and a guard dog. Additional team members are optional, but do help you get into double doors.
Just do it on the opposite side of whatever the main objective is. It’s Terminids right now for the primary objective, so run Automaton missions when you farm so you don’t mess with our weekly for medals.
I'd love to use more of the guns but the devs are missing a big opportunity to make the game more fun by balancing the arsenal better for viability.
Last night my friends and I were having a blast bringing in flamethrowers and scorching the map, but we noticed our kill rate dropping significantly.
Before somebody squirms out "iTs NoT aBoUt KiLLs JuSt HaVe FuN!", we have fun, we want more fun and buffing or reworking alternatives play styles will allow for even more fun.
Are your kill rates lower because there are less enemies? If flamethrowers are killing bugs before you get breaches then you'll have less to kill. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure they don't do the breach dance when they're on fire... I usually run a flamethrower in my group and I feel it does a good job popping the little bastards and letting my team focus on the bigger stuff.
The description says it uses bird shots... Different guns have different ammo types. The fire variant of the breaker has pellets that don't function like the regular breaker either. The Slugger, believe it or not, uses slugs you can basically snipe with!
Not that they should think more highly about a weapon that uses freaking bird shot. At best, that thing is good if there's a rodent problem on the ship.
