The VLAD-1000 Nailgun is the Berserker's second tier weapon.

Description

  • Choice of single or multiple nail fire modes.
  • Alt-fire to toggle between fire modes.

Strategy

  • The VLAD-1000, despite it's low tier and seemingly lackluster stats, is a very powerful weapon, and a must-have in any Berserker's kit.
  • In single-fire mode, the VLAD can be used as a somewhat accurate head-popper, allowing a Berserker to pick off Bloats standing behind crowds of zeds, or even Sirens/Husks, with some patience and kiting. It is also able to kill Crawlers in one body shot, as well as decap Stalkers, Gorefasts, and any variant of Clot.
  • In "shotgun" mode, the VLAD will fire a cluster of seven nails with each pull of the trigger, for a total of 210 damage if all nails connect. Coupled with a six round magazine (42/7 = 6), the VLAD, on any perk, has roughly the same burst potential as an M4 Combat Shotgun in the hands of a level 25 Support, at almost half the price and 2 less weight.
  • Nails fired from the VLAD have built-in penetration, being able to travel through two zeds and strike a third, albeit with reduced damage. This allows Berserkers to quickly (and safely) clear crowds of weak enemies, freeing them up to deal with bigger threats.
  • The VLAD, being an improvised weapon with no barrel to speak of, has very low accuracy. This is especially true in "shotgun mode", where the VLAD has a spread comparable to the Double-Barrel Shotgun. It is also less consistent, often sending out a lopsided blob as opposed to an even distribution of shot.
  • Firing the VLAD in "shotgun" mode will quickly deplete your magazine, resulting in a very long reload that, unlike with tube-fed shotguns, cannot be done incrementally, which also means it cannot be "topped up" without sitting through the entire reload. Because of this, the VLAD's sustained DPS suffers greatly.
