The Techman Arbalist V Machine Gun (called the Machinegun (low RPM) in the patch notes) is a fully automatic weapon that fills the special weapon slot.
Brief Description[]
The Arbalist sports a 40-round magazine and has a slow rate of fire compared to other automatic weapons in the game. It however, offers higher damage per shot than most other automatic weapon. It is mainly used in clearing hordes with lesser enemies.
In comparison to Techman Veruta XII[]
Other than the rate of fire, the two machine guns feature other differences and similarities, which make their roles slightly distinct from each other.
Ability to stagger lesser enemies in one shot[]
One very important similarity of the two is that they can both stagger Strikers in one shot. However, the Veruta features more ammo pool than the Arbalist, meaning that it can stagger more lesser enemies. Veruta can also stagger enemies quicker thanks to its higher rate of fire.
Capability in handling larger enemies[]
Although the Arbalist deals more damage per shot than the Veruta, they deal similar damage per mag (214 vs 210.6 respectively). To add up, it takes 5.21s and 4.8s to empty an Arbalist and Veruta Magazine respectively, which means Veruta is faster at killing larger enemies.
Since it is a machine gun meant for crowd control, you shouldn't be using these two weapons to kill larger enemies since they would be ammo inefficient, only do so if you absolutely have to or you are Fireblade.
Weapon Handling[]
- Reloading time
- Recoil Pattern
- Veruta features less recoil than the Arbalist, and it is worth noting that the first few shorts from the Arbalist tend to jerk the gun upwards when ADS, which may occasionally throw off aim.
- Accuracy and Spread
- Arbalist features less spread than the Veruta and is more accurate in longer ranges.
- Charge-up time
- Veruta features a faster charge-up time than the Arbalist. (Statsheets of this two weapons' stat on this wiki are inaccurate, someone please update)
