Piranha pistol

Totally having fun with the Piranha pistols. Give them a try as gunslinger. This tip also works as a zerker, if you line up zeds you can decap multiple zeds. They can be tricky to use at far distance. They shine on long straight sections. At long range aim toward the chest area to get a head shot. Using the pistols for head and neck shots is the best.

im think this is ultiamte trash weapon even compound bow is much better than this newest DLC weapon is so weak is so unpratical its not fun to use and play jsut pure garbage pls dont make anymore that mistakes

It's not terrible, but it's not great either.

It doesn't really allow Berserker to do anything they already can't do. The Nailgun is arguably just as good in most circumstances as shooting things is concerned while still being superior for Zed-Time and close-range decaps on big boys, and the Eviscerator still does the all-in-one kit thing better.

It's not good for Gunslinger assuming you can already aim because, well, hitscan exists and half of Gunslinger's weapons already deal better damage and penetrate. Not that waiting with Gunslinger to line up Zeds on purpose is ideal most of the time anyway.

When you consider that the VLAD costs $750 vs the single Piranha's $600, it actually has a lot going for it when you consider that you can buy that thing as early as Wave 2, which in turn makes killing large groups of trash zeds much easier than if you only stuck with your crovel and nothing else. I feel like some slight adjustments to the Berserker perk is due so as to give some parity between DLC owners and the base game.

$750 is doable by wave 2, especially if you squat in a chokepoint like most Zerks do anyway.

which in turn makes killing large groups of trash zeds much easier than if you only stuck with your crovel and nothing else.
I mean, not really, given that basic light attacks with the crovel to the head--or heavy attacks aimed basically anywhere--will crumple any of the Wave 2 Zeds en masse. To say nothing of having the parry bonuses.

Making Wave 2 easier is like having a cheat sheet for reciting the ABCs because there's absolutely nothing that should be killing you with any sort of regularity on Wave 2 as Berserker.
