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.
