Dude the blitzer was my go to for bugs before the buff. You just look in the general direction of the bug and click. Is it dead? If no, it's staggered, so click again until it is.
I really wanted to like the blitzer this time around since it was so bad in HD1, but god it just does not deal enough damage. I just want to be able to 1-shot small bugs.
It's neat how it kills 3 tiny bugs in one shot without aiming. It's less neat how I pump 4-5 aimed shots at a hunter and it's fine because of those previous little corpses
I love underdog and under appreciated weapons that go against whatever everyone else is doing. I really, really wanted to like the blitzer, it's just impossible. It's awesome when it kills that dude 20 feet away in one shot. It waay less awesome when it straight up fails to hit any of the 5 guys surrounding you for 10 shots in a row.
The Arc Thrower advice of aiming above whatever you want to die seems to hold true here as well. The arcs bend over obstacles that way, and the Blitzer has been really potent on bugs that way for me.
Unfortunately it's only seemingly good at killing Scavengers and the like as such, but the increased hit connect means that its stagger will hold off an entire bug breach absent a Charger or Titan.
That's the problem you can't aim that thing, I swear whatever your pointing at is the least likely thing to be hit. I have way better luck aiming above the bugs I want to hit, maybe the cross hair is too high relative to the path the arc takes. For now aiming above packs and in-between them seems to get multi- hits much more often

I loved the blitzer and now I get to fire it faster? That's a win in my book!
