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.
Flavor text
- "We understand that one of the Horzine scientists borrowed the original nailgun from a (dead) maintenance man."
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 three zeds and strike a fourth, albeit with greatly 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 below average 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.
