Summary

After the update, he tests the SG-8 Punisher, citing 405 DPS, increased ammunition, and exceptional damage among primary weapons. Without medium-armor penetration, it deflects off armored walkers; light enemies die in one shot, while larger targets require gaps, grenades, or repeated shots. Repeated deaths, overwhelming swarms, Bile Spewers, Chargers, Titans, and glitches derail testing; he concludes slow fire rate limits crowd control.

Insight

The testing repeats his recent Helldivers pattern: promising weapon mechanics are overshadowed by chaotic spawns, deaths, and escalating frustration.
