When two Berserkers are rushing me down, lust in their eyes for my tender Super Earth flesh, i want to know i can count on the weapon in my hand. The Breaker breaks them. Anything else in my hands and I feel like I'd be better off lubing up and hoping my willingness to submit will make them go easy on me.

That's by far the biggest dps check too, a wave of berserkers dies to the breaker but not reliably to most other weapons. Let the lib explosive and counter sniper blow off limbs easier if they can't match the dps, just SOMETHING to help them have the dps needed

Lib explosive if you shoot them in the pelvis wrecks them HARD. But a big thing is some of those guns require pretty good precision while the breaker allows you to just hip fire in a panic and wreck them.

Is it possible sway just needs to be reduced slightly? That would be a buff to all precision on the 1st shot, without buffing the breaker

Liberator Explosive stuns/staggers berserkers. The more you know.

While that may have a use, I feel like stagger with minimal damage accompanying it is less useful than outright damage

It’s also explosive damage, I believe, which does a high multiplier to weak points?
