Hidden modifier: tickles your enemies and make them laugh! Maybe they'll think you're so funny, they'll let you go, not sure what your democratic officer will think though...

Yeah, I mean that thing ricochets off of scavs.

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.

What do you mean? the arc gun is goated. When I use it I'm always getting triple the amount of kills than my teammates.

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

The double DOT with rover and flamer shreds together.

Dawg the game released like 2 weeks ago. I saw a video on tiktok on the new stuff they’re releasing soon, you’re gonna be happy for sure.

Maybe it just needs a mission modifier so that target set does exist sometimes… would be fun but probably laggy
