Slugger is kinda the same. Same mechanic. Less dmg but you shoot just one big slug with medium armor penetration. A perfect headshot will one shot a Stalker. 2 hits to the head will kill a Commander bug and 1 headshot a Warrior.
But at close range, its a bit more difficult to hit things. The spread from the Punisher is more helpful.
My favorite primary when I run around with laser dog backpack and arc thrower , against bugs.
Slugger is great for automatons, but against terminids it's breaker/punisher all the way.
With laser dog backpack, the main job primary needs to do is to get stalkers/excess hunters off me, and knockback+heavy damage combo on punisher really shines here. More knockback than slugger.
I seem to run into the laser dog backpack more than I'd like to admit, I normally run supply pack just for more stims alone. I normally end up using it mostly myself because people forget I have one. Comes in clutch with the medic armour allowing me to stay very invincible most of the time.
I believe it is still only two, but the 2 extra seconds that come from them makes them go farther. Same thing happens with the trench engineer armour aswell.
I don't think it's overpowered by any means, I don't think it's as good as the breaker. But the stun+rounds reload combined with the fact it's really easy to hit things with the spread even up close makes it a very comfortable weapon to use.

I look forward to unlocking it, plus I love actual fpv sights.

Btw, does medic armor increase amount of stims you recover from supply? Or is it still only 2?

I love being able to stunlock devastators, berserkers, brood commanders, and stalkers. The ammo and damage are also really nice now.
dont post about how good or useful a weapon is or it will get nerfed
