Is the JAR5 Dominator Good (lemm.ee)

I’ve been using the Dominator for a while now and it’s definitely fun but I’m wondering if there’s more viable options. I’ve been eyeing the scorcher cus it looks cool and I’m thinking my potato aim will like that recoil better than the dominator sending my camera towards the heavens above with each shot

Also side note, anyone use the new plasma pistol yet, maybe I can knock out the senator as my only used secondary

Scortcher is fantastic with one caveat: you will be ammo starved the entire time. Weirdly enough I love using the crossbow and don't feel the same (just surprised when the magazine is empty)...

I love any main that takes out bot chickens (scouts)., and this fits the bill nicely. I haven't used the plasma pistol yet because the SMG and shotgun (Halt) were.....ehhhhhhhh... Not good for me, so I'm a bit shy about replacing the senator.

Yeah I’ve heard that about the smg and shotty, but like I said I have the senator so taking out walkers isn’t too bad especially since they change it to be heavy ap

Oh, also my 2¢ about the Jars is that it's very slow to bring up and aim, the crossbow I found more numbleneith the same effectiveness/fun factor.

Very satisfying to hit one bot to have it explode and take out a group, 2 shots down the exhaust in a factory and it's done as well.

Run it with scout armor and you can sneak into the position you need to do the most damage.
