Overview
Daniel compares the Punisher, Slugger, and Breaker shotguns in Helldivers 2 across damage, fire rates, armor penetration, and reload mechanics, recommending the Slugger as the top choice due to its medium armor penetration.
The Punisher delivers 360 damage with individual round reloads but lacks medium armor penetration, while the Breaker offers magazine reloads, a fire rate of 300, and 330 damage against swarms but ricochets off medium armor.
The Slugger deals 280 damage with single-round reloads and penetrates medium armor to eliminate armored enemies with headshots despite being labeled as light armor penetrating.
Themes
Helldivers 2 shotgun comparison between the Punisher, Slugger, and Breaker.
Uncertainties & gaps
Daniel was uncertain whether gameplay bugged or lagged because of network disconnects after an enemy survived roughly ten shots from the Punisher.
Daniel was unsure how a Punisher shot to an armored enemy's leg killed it despite the weapon lacking armor-piercing capabilities.
Daniel experienced confusion over in-game callouts that sounded like 'butthole' rather than 'bug hole'.
