Is it supposed to even be nerf-worthy? I must be missing something. Tried it off the bat, also was kind of interested in this "barrage\cannon\dual mode" stuff, fan of AoE weaponry. Yet I saw a mediocre(understatement) primary fire that sort of shoots auto-exploding bombs with higher critical potential than usual. And secondary... What? With this spread, either you unload it point blank into a fat target, or it deals less damage than Phage without focusing the beams.

Add 3 shot magazine and arcing shots - and how in the bloody hell is it a good weapon? No idea about all the tonkors, sold mine at 30 without any second thoughts. I'm oldschool, and the closest thing I can compare this to - is Torid, the old "plaguespreader". Even that was sold for pre-buff Ogris, Penta, Stug.

Okay, perhaps this can outclass Penta, because it's damn annoying and the game evolved since Xini farm. And Stug is no longer a minmax material, since there are too few Vaubans to actually vortex anything for insane short-range AoE, not to mention melee weapon power.

But Ogris, the king of AoE both old and new. Tremendous damage, infinite range, precise shots(unless you are an imbecile, who uses Heavy Caliber on it), large AoE - that's the real cannon. What can Zarr offer in exchange? Easy to aim low-AoE self-damaging crit-capable short range shots? Wa-wait... That rings a bell...

Quanta, no? Also an old weapon. With 2\3 of Phage's damage and almost as infinite fire, without Phage's annoying focus and with 200\400(I'm not even talking about Vanal version) AoE damage that can be spammed and that DOES NOT DAMAGE YOU. I still have to find a weapon that could outclass it.

So I wouldn't worry about Zarr getting nerfed(unless it already was at the time of posting), I'd be more worried FOR those, who complain about it being OP.
