I switched to the slugger. Shooting the spewers in the face to cancel their spit as your squad focuses on the smaller mobs. So good.
Ooo I've never tried it against the Spewers. That's good to know!
The Slugger staggers all the bugs that can call in a bug breach, and stagger cancels the call-in even if the target survives the shot. The stagger lasts long enough that you can chain-stun mid-size, dangerous enemies like Devastators or Brood Commanders. You can even stagger-juggle two or even three such targets if your aim is good. The crowd control power of the Slugger is why it's my go-to primary.
Yup it's an ass saver for the damn chainsaw boys. Pop em once each and cycle while backing up and you're golden. Also my go to on bugs because it 2 shots the big red fellas and 1 shots the black ones. Only issue is bad wave clear but a rover or a friend with a Sickle fills that gap.
