Callahan sucks as a primary gun, but when used to support someone else using a sword, i found the stun can help greatly. I found I still deal about the same damage as when I was a pure swordie, but I die less. I just don't see why people on my team complain, it stops the other team's attacks... Of course people complain about spamming but I use it in addition to a WRH and GF to deal damage. So my main question is this, why do you guys complain when you get support that saves you from dying? :|

Not totally sure stun bug

Not totally sure stun bug works in LD, if not very uncommonly. We don't have nearly as long of wind-ups for our attacks as mobs do, so there's less of an opportunity for the bug to kick in, and much lower chance without triggering invincibility frames (negating the 2nd hit anyway).

The Hater's Reasoning

People hate it cause it immobilizes you, deals terrible DPS, and fires rather slow compared to other guns. If there were a pierce variant of Nova Driver it would outclass the Callahan.

That is not to say you should not use it or it's not fun. Certainly fun to use.

small request

Bella-Donna, you consistently abbreviate "Warmaster Rocket Hammer" as "RWH", in this and other threads. Would you please consider switching to "WRH"? It might help people search for threads in the future.

it doesnt.

Callahan its my "DPS" gun sir, if you use a gunner set you will see as it can kill a non skolver guy / or someone with piercing defense in a combo of shots because their wealth just disappears this gun is lovely in lockdown and i love using it specially with AA (yea call me nub) 2 shots and they die use guardian with it . i just laugh soooo much.

Return of Suda vs DA

I don't like to use Callahan/Iron Slug in serious (play-to-win) Lockdown because of these two reasons:
- It's slow and makes you stop moving when you shoot (if you're the target, you die).
- It's PIERCING damage, so it's a weak gun versus Skolvers (oh, only the most COMMON ARMOR IN LOCKDOWN) and other piercing-def armors.

As a support weapon, it is mildly useful if you can hit with it. I use recon, so I can get charges in as backup shots fairly easily. As far as stun goes, it's works to slow down strikers, so it's kinda useful there. You don't have to worry about the stun bugs, because when people get stunned by Callahan, they are usually interrupted anyway.

This is actually more of a similar argument to Sudaruska vs DA. Sudaruska is fun, and if used in the right situations, can almost feel like it's as efficient as DA (ex: suda charge on a HUGE amount of enemies at once --> all of them take equal damage). But everywhere else, it's outdone by other guns. Seriously, I'd use Biohazard over Callahan if I were in a situation where I wasn't allowed to use my normal gun set of valiance/drivers.

But then if you think about it, why don't you just shock them with Storm Driver then?
- In the shock spasm, players don't have invincibility, meaning your teammates can actually attack and deal damage at the same time as you. If you were using Callahan as a backup gun, only one person will hit per round of invincibility: either you will hit with your weak bullet (you're using it as a sidearm, so why would you have gun damage bonuses?), or your teammate hits with a stronger sword slash.

- If you charge with storm driver, you have a chance of doing multiple hits with each bullet (far more damaging than a Callahan charge). The only thing the Callahan would have over Storm Driver is its charge range, but even then, you can only hit from off-screen if you're below your target.

I won't try to stop you, but...
ಠ_ಠ:
- "DPS"
- AA with guns in lockdown, and you're hitting things? When I first started trying to use guns in Lockdown, I tried autoaim. Then I realized that it only aims where you see your target at that moment, not taking into account latency, target speed, or bullet speed - meaning all they have to do is move SIDEWAYS to dodge you. I learned it's better to just go for prediction shots.
