Overwhelmer Notes, Tips, & Trivia

- Other notes, tips, and trivia go here
AnonymousThe game seems to consider it as an endgame weapon, according to the in-game description, the NPC dialogues, and the way how it is obtained. Yet, when being used as a primary weapon, it is quite underwhelming, because of (1) its low DPS, (2) negligible AOE damage that the only thing it does is damage yourself when shot in point-blank range, (3) low ammo capacity and the worst of all (4) poor accuracy inherited from HMG42 Dominator.
The only way it is useful is when used as a secondary weapon to against enemies with front shields. In which the mini-explosions can basically ignore the shield and damage the enemy behind it.

It was hyped beyond belief. effective only against tissue, not so much vs. mechanized.

It does so much damage you don't really care about the middling rate of fire. The clip size is really the only drawback, but with some fast reloading it hardly matters.

Barely useful due to its Rate of Fire, Damage and Mag size. Ridiculously overrated on description.
Seems like it's been nerfed, my mk. 8 has 86-120 and 516 dps
