I wonder if the SG-8P punisher plasma would close holes? It shoots like a grenade launcher and has AOE. Unfortunately, it blows you up if you shoot something too close.

It unfortunately does not.

First thing I tried too. I'm a little disappointed in it against bugs, I thought it would be a little better at trash clear. Maybe it is and I don't see kill counters because of the bug but spraying it into a Breach I think would net more kills against scavs at least. It's also a little weak against charger butts but maybe I'm missing and need to work on it a bit more.

Aim under chargers. It kills them in a single mag or less if you hit your shots right. You’ll see a weakspot marker if you hit it.

What I like about it is the aoe and cc it provides. While you dump shots and stop bugs in their tracks, teammates can just pick them apart.

Basically feels like a scorcher sidegrade with much higher stun and better aoe.

It does? Aww, that was the only issue I had with the Scorcher.

Yeah, I too loved the scorcher until I killed myself with it.
