2. 🌟 Notable Heavy Weapons: Cooper Dooper, Disco Jockey, Atling Gun, Streamer Heavy Gun Ordnance
· Cooper Dooper: Added in Bounty Pack 3, this weapon has a unique concept where it can explode after firing, but its current performance is somewhat lacking.
· Disco Jockey: Once powerful, its status has diminished due to power creep. It bounces up to 5 times, with damage increasing by 20% with each bounce, making it effective against multiple enemies. However, its efficiency drops against bosses.
· Atling Gun: Characterized by its high rate of fire (51.5 rounds per second). It synergizes well with certain character builds that benefit from rapid firing (e.g., Gloom to Gloom Cash), but the weapon's base damage is somewhat lacking in the current meta.
· Streamer Heavy Gun Ordnance: This weapon fires a beam forward from a fixed position. It can deal high damage if the boss is stationary or very large, but it's difficult to deal damage if the boss moves.
· Disco Jockey: Once powerful, its status has diminished due to power creep. It bounces up to 5 times, with damage increasing by 20% with each bounce, making it effective against multiple enemies. However, its efficiency drops against bosses.
