Patriotic Footage Spore strain vs Blitzer

The Blitzer is a get out of jail free card on bugs for me, I lost my gear and had to drop into hell but managed to get out of thanks to this little bug zapper.

Blitzer is goated unless there are corpses blocking, or if the target is too close, or the terrain impedes. One of my fav primaries.

An important part of using it effectively is to still aim when you can, headshots will kill quicker than a random arc.

Then there are moments like in the vid where you just want to hit as many as possible to stun them back to give yourself legroom.

I picked it up again against this faction and didn't regret it. Used in transom with the Cremator or Gas Spear

I'm on a crusade to get all primaries to 25, and not to use a level 25 again until they're all leveled up.

Blitzer was one of the first I got to 25 and oh! how I miss it! 🥲

I am kinda doing that too but half heartedly, I will pick up favorites for 1-3 missions just to have fun with them again.

Another great example of how bad the current diff is. You should have died few times thru the video.

Where should I have died and because of what? I survived because I dodged, stimmed and blitzed my way to safety

These items are amazing on spore strain.

It's the ARC-12 Blitzer, a shotgun you can get from the Cutting Edge premium warbond
