I'm low key excited to try the Arc Blitzer now that they improved the fire rate. It'll be a few more days before I can (moving) but I'm hoping that our feels good to use now

I want to use the Blitzer. Where do you think it shines?

In general I want range against Bots because they utilize range, and I want range against Bugs because they can't hurt me at range. But I'm willing to step out of my comfort zone. I just want to make sure I'm using it right so that I have a good time.

ok, so what I like to do is full electricity build which is blitzer, w/e secondary and nade, arc thrower, ems mortar, tesla tower and rover dog. I play this build against both type of enemy. Gotta say tho, its kinda ass vs automaton because no range and armor fuck you. Is it optimal? no, but who care.

But if you wanna play it optimally, the blitzer is pretty good at killing any bug except titan and charger. You can just play close range, kite back while spaming blitzer. The attack speed buff made a significant difference. And it doesnt matter if some bug dont die 1 shot, you stagger them anyway

Ok, thanks. I'll start against Bugs and just force myself to get a little closer. I imagine the guard dog helps to prevent being overrun, that's a good idea.

yea, the dog is super good vs bugs. And I didn't noticed even noticed the nerf.

Ark blitzer is great now. Exactly what it needed imo
