For those saying that you can stick to default marksman and splitcoin with another variant of the slab revolver, you cant. the splitcoin window will pass before you can switch to another slab variant and firing. You can do this when the coin reaches its singing phase, but thats impractical (unless you're doing it with the alt fires) EDIT: Nevermind I was wrong, you can splitcoin with slab revolver while you have default marksman, but the timing window to pull it off is extremely tight, so I would recommend sticking to slab marksman if you want to consistently splitcoin with a slab revolver. Thanks to Oofrian for showing me this, you can check his channel out here www.youtube.com/@Oofrian Also I was wrong about slab marksman coins doing extra damage to weakpoints, splitcoins from the slab marksman deals 5 damage regardless of a weakpoint or not unless the enemy specifically takes extra damage from revolvers, but its still really powerful
that's wrong, you can splitcoin with another slab variant for the first splitcoin window. it is hard to do however, so you can argue that the alt marksman has more ease of use.
ULTRAKILL is in a great state where each weapon is wonderful in its own right so long as you understand what makes it effective. Some players are a little adverse to making a genuine effort in experimenting on their own with things outside of their comfort zones, so vids like these are the perfect things to point those people towards. At this point in time, it’s safe to say that only a vocal minority continue to unironically call any weapon outright bad, but it was definitely aggravating enough back then to the point that I just had to call out the behaviour myself as well. I just couldn’t comprehend how hard it was for someone to understand that I use the Alt Marksman because it meets my personal needs more than the regular one, plain and simple. And so, it’s nice to see more peeps getting behind this concept nowadays, because conversations about becoming more proficient with the entirety of the game’s arsenal are a lot more engaging than the whole “just use x over y” sentiment.
Agreed, I'm all for trying different weapons and playstyles out because it makes my gameplay much more fun and diverse, so I dislike it when people judge or call people out for using a weapon that they believe is "bad", and so I make videos like these to spread the word.
no but like, geniually, the slab marksman after the full arsenal update is actually so fun to use (in my opinion). people are clowning on it for no reason even after the buff.
I don’t like my main weapon being as slow as possible. Marksman for me I am used to being very fast and able to shoot coins quickly and when I tried using it my muscle memory of shooting the coins instantly wasn’t working out and I noticed a huge skill drop with it. Maybe clowning on it isn’t the best way to express your opinion but it’s def not for some people.
@Banus- In my ears you just said "I'm not used to it". Which you know, you have to uss it to get used to it. What you said is basically the normal marksman to me, heck if not ultrakill as a whole, it feels cluncky and your muscle memory is used to something else but you have to train it to make it used on another thing.
At first, I was a little skeptical to use the alt marksman due to the loss of crowd control, but I figured that it wouldn't be that big of an issue since fodder enemies are basically walking health packs and I have plenty of other options for mopping them up. Now the alt marksman has become one of the most important pieces of my kit, allowing me to elevate my Cybergrind high score from wave 27, all the way to nearly reaching 40. Being able to quickly and easily dish out high damage at any range is VERY handy. Plus it compliments with running all Jackhammers surprisingly well. I might not be very good at Ultrakill, but I find it quite easy to land my splitshots. And if these people are landing theirs with the default marksman enough for the different mechanic to be a deal-breaker for them, then they can too.
@@nevinmyers1245 with how I play, I find it to be a direct upgrade for all variants. The only things I'm missing out on is projectile boosting, which can be substituted with the rocket launcher or hitting a core with the primary fire. Core nuking is also harder to do without getting hit, but I almost never do those anyway. In exchange, I'm able to dish out over 40 damage in about 6 seconds without much difficulty. The only downside is the cooldown that comes from a full impact.
@@VeraVemaVena the reason i only run one hammer is that default shotgun is like my main weapon. it's the most reliable and versatile. the burst damage from hammers is insane but i have other methods of burst damage and i'd rather have an option that always works. i could use revolvers for this role instead but i run 3 alts so that wouldn't be a good idea with the cooldown. also projectile boost is slightly better than rockets for a few reasons but it's not that far off tbh.
@@nevinmyers1245 I mean... the shotgun is a close range weapon and most people use it in tandem with the Knuckleblaster anyway, why not go the extra mile? There isn't many situations where the shotgun significantly outperforms the jackhammer, so it is just down to personal preference. More flexibility vs. more damage.
@@VeraVemaVena exactly, and i use red alt shotgun because the chainsaw adds even more damage. the thing is that i'm using 3 alt revolvers, nailgun and railcannon have long cooldowns, and the rocket launcher has a slow fire rate, so with all that i really do need at least two shotguns so i don't have to juggle cooldowns for literally every weapon i have.
I started using the Slab Marksman in the Cybergrind, and i'll be honest... It SHREDS. Since Slab has the special bonus of resetting the cooldown of your Slab Pistols, it has such MASSIVE potential for the bulkier enemies/radiant ones in late cybergrind and etc.
I was trying to process the word "slab" because you said it so many times I wondered "what is the word slab, dawg" and then you hit me with the unexpected "clair de LunEY" and that was a K.O. for me

i was playing around in the cybergrind when the thought of using the alt marksman poped into my mind, then i realized its true power when i instantly destroyed my last high score the next day the arsenal update dropped
I feel the same about the screwdriver, it is actually pretty good. With the most damage and healing out of any railcannon (excluding combos with other weapons) and the ability to chain it infinitely (if you don't have a SSSkill issue) I would argue its one of the best railcannons. And also one shotting maurice without much skill is pretty fun
Drill punching is very fun in my opinion and does more single target damage than shooting 4 coins with electric if it only pierces once (drill punch does half the health of a mindflayer/swordsmachine/ferryman). It can pair well with impact hammer sometimes: shoot screwdriver at an enemy, hit enemy with a red speed impact hammer hit, punch the drill with feedbacker during the hitstop (you can also try to aim the drill at another enemy during the hitstop). 15 (drill punch) + 10 (impact hammer) = 25 damage. A slab marksman splitcoin will finish off a 30 health enemy
@@Jbg802 even though it’s got less range it’s still much more efficient, as well as dealing as much damage as for late cybergrind waves, if you’re relying on the screwdriver then you’re playing far from optimally because with that railcannon charge you can nuke for heavy damage and clearing of fodder, or railcoin (probably a coin or railcoinpunch), and actually healing off of blood is less of a factor. if you watch high level cybergrind all of their railcannon charges go into nuking and occasionally ultraricoshots, and a lot of their healing is parries and finishing waves

That was SUPER fun to watch, and its awesome seeing the slabsman getting some attention in the community! Keep it up brother, your content is only gonna get BETTER
i actually didn't know about the instant reload feature. this makes it a whole lot more worth it to give up locational damage for it. thank you for this info
The problem with the Slab Marksman is that you can just switch revolvers to the blue one when actually shooting the coin. If you need single target damage, it's usually more efficient to do a slabcoin with the Piercer or Sharpshooter. Losing splitcoins also makes Flesh Prison significantly harder since you have to land all the eyes in a core nuke or waste tons of time picking off the eyeballs.
@@prep5181 that's wrong, you can splitcoin with another slab variant for the first splitcoin window. it is hard to do however(feels like u have to swap 2-3 frames after throwing out the coin, maybe even less i just checked it), so you can argue that the alt marksman has more ease of use.

Bro thought we wouldn’t notice the video he made on how bad green slab was 🗿 Although seriously, good video, I was trying out green slab in violence and found that if you hit flash windows it’s ultrasick. It just requires ultraskill, but many in the community have a SSSkill Issue and are SSShit at dealing with long reload times. Have a good day.
As someone who plays with mainly the Red Railcannon and likes to Parry Shotgun Projectiles (Aka, someone who plays with explosives a lot), i am actually considering this. And the reload isn't that much of an issue, i like to throw all my Coins and then Spin my Slarp/Slab Sharpshooter at them anyways almost all the time.
I picked up the slab marksman after the video and realised that I suck at coin splitting and that the slab marksman is actually forcing me to become better at it. time to train and become the average slab marksman enthusiast.
The script of the video feels like "Can you beat Ultrakill with dementia" with so many repeats about the hate and punishes. Alright, I'll try doing slab M, you managed to peak my interest. So I was woundering - was this script a tribute to a "Can you beat ultrakill with dementia"? With these repetitions you actually peaked my interest, but I don't know if I'm convinced to use slab M. Tho you, pointing out the hate on slab M at the end, had me thinking - "Can you beat Ultrakill with only slab marksman?" I know, I know, "slab M is weak" and all, but I've recently watched a good video regarding strong sides of slab M. It had a little strange script with repetitions, but overall convinced me to try out slab M. Slam M is stands for Calculator, for those who don't know. What was I saying? Oh yea, good video
"OoOh! It doeSnt HaVe SpLIT CoiNs!! It DOesNt HavE CrowD ConTrol!!11 ThAt meAns its BAD!!11" My brother in christ, god and every other religious deity, if you need crowd control... *_COOOOOORE NUUUUUKE!!_* Great video, ive been using the slab marksman alot and its great (i cant hit split shots tho :d)
the thing is that it really depends, since ultrakill is a game about killing sometimes lesser enemies in a quick way, hitting two enemies would be better sometimes, but with the violence layer making so that filths or strays just almost dont exist, the slab marksman really becomes more viable.
I have been using this since its buff and to my own surprise it stayed in my arsenal ever since. Hakita nailed it pretty well so that I can incorporate it into a playstyle I feel fit.
Tried it today before even watching the vid, just because of the title. Got a new best in cybergrind from 32 to 33! Also, I switched to full jackhammers sometime ago and it's also very fun, but took much longer to get a hang of them. I also used to rely a lot on sawblades, but+conductor is so much better and more fun and I finally started using oil which is also cool
I find that chaining a coinpunch then instantly throwing and shooting another coin w/ slab marksman is a lot faster and easier to do than shooting each coin individually. It refills the hammer like normal but also gives more style because the coinpunch allows the coin to be used again
In my personal experience i regretted using slap marksman for 2 months, i had to come back to default to make room for slap coin punch, slap sharp shooters punch and aerial railcoinpunch. To take this into consideration, newbie please go for what u consider the coolest tech u could do in Ultrakill and make room for it
I haven't watched the whole video and the reason why I don't use slab marksman is because i use the other two variants as slab so I can just switch variants when I need a more powerful shot
@@infinityyworks Won't need that when the other two's alt fire deal an obscene amount of damage without the splitshot. And when you pair them with a coin or two... Default splitshot and slab splitshot are both the same in a way that there are better ways to use The Coin and the splitshots are more for comfort than anything. Also throwing 4 coins into the air and seeing the splitshots annihilate the whole mob hordes is cool and cool factor supreme. Compared to that the spinning revolver looks lame af. You might disagree though, it's my opinion afterall.
I'm no pro, but I main the slab marksmen and it's my favorite weapon, you can still use the split shot by switching weapons, which that window is massive and not tight at all, the slab fire rate is also reasonable with the recharge rate of the coins.
Good video, made me not think of the slarksman as a downgrade. In terms of multiple-coin interactions, the default will always be peak, and it’s still my favorite for that reason (especially with coinpunching tech in mind) but there is merit to using the slab if you’re good at other means of crowd control
you should make a video on chargebacking. its super fun to do with sentries and it can one shot mindflayers when you chargeback sentries. i dont see many people doing chargebacks
Tbh yeah it is sad that the normal splits are gone but in return All revolvers of slab gets reloaded LIKE THATS SO OP against non boss cerberus'es and if you ask me i am a certified cerberus hater so its a big w
I've got my highest scores ever in cybergrind using the slab marksman with every other slab revolver. Quickswap between them for very solid long range damage. You only need to reload one of them in order to use all of them again.
I'll tell you why I didnt use it. It didnt have a Split Coin mechanic when I used it last lol but now that I'm back in the game, man, I cant take it off
It’s crazy how good “off-meta” loadout are strong. I use triple slab triple jackhammer and double nailgun and sawblade jumpstart. Slab marksman is also really good for breaks. If you are trying to, build up speed, then just hitting a couple split shots is more than enough to keep the damage rolling, and the triple slab switch is absolutely cracked on insurrectionists. I feel like you should cover jumpstart sawblade, though, it’s really good and almost nobody uses it
The main problem is that the slab coin doesnt deal locational damage, so its default ricoshot is actually weaker than the normal marksman for enemies with weakpoints, so you have to use splitcoins if you want it to deal good damage. Very high risk high reward.
But for tanky enemies without weakpoints like insurrectionists, mindflayers, and virtues, the slab marksman's splitcoin mechanic is stronger, and it also works against the hideous mass weakpoint for some reason
i feel like i should point this out but dead coining feels cool as hell with the alt marksman. yes, the default marksman does do more damage and probably gives more style too, but its easier with the alt, atleast for me
The reason i use default is because split coining is amazing but also because it takes less skill, if you have the timing down, you can CLOWN on your enemies with 12 back to back slab shots.
Honestly? Regular marksman is way less useful than the other CC options. Only two enemies per splitshot is pretty bad. Slab can do all of the other things that the regular can, and does more damage outright. V1's arsenal is overflowing with crowd control so having high single target damage too is great.
You convinced me, but now I'm quite 50/50 of what to. Use, good thing that I have two options now, I was a ahater before, just because of not split, but now with conductor +rockets and nails and Jumpstart this makes it waaay more powerful and worth it I didn't knew that conductor damage got so enhanced with the slab, got it, no longer a hater, not for fame, not for hating, but for the past, the thing that was always a nono for me was the slab, but, the old slab good thing that now seriously, every ultrakill weapon is viable, usable, useful and awesome
I think you need to have a default and an alt revolver so you can use both of their properties when shooting coin. whichever one goes on the marksman itself I think just depends on which one you want to do more. I think having all alternates or all defaults loses out on so much potential.
I thought I was utter trash at the game, then I discovered nukes… Then I realized how trash I am because I can never land them. Still P-ranked P-1 on violent.
I remember getting it, and after testing it, wondering why everyone hated this weapon Honestly, I still wonder to this day, I think it's really fun to play and it's far from bad.
Мне кажется нам всем придётся пересесть на альт марксман на новой сложности Потому что мне кажется что в UKMD дроны не будут умирать с одной монеты но и попасть чем то другим по ним будет тяжелее
You could just alt piercer with default marks, giving you splitcoin and whateveryoucallthealtcointhingy or do it in reverse with alt marks and default piercer
Alot of players (myself included) prefer to use coins on rail cannons and Piercer alt cuz it just does more damage, see the use case, it just isnt worth the extra effort because you can get the same result with more style points by using other weapons. Its viable, its just worse than the alternatives. i dont think its the worse weapon tho, that goes to default nailgun
I agree I love the slab marksman, unfortunately splitcoin simply outmatches the the slab when doing no damage, for act I at least, I've yet to make it to act II, where I think it will be a good choice with more tanky enemies that can't be killed by 1 default coin..
Honestly, I think the weakest revolver version, as of this video, is the regular piercer because, for how I play, the piercer is a fire and forget kind of weapon, so the longer recharge is not as much of an issue to me. Additionally, if one needs to use split coins, there's always switching to a variation that's the default revolver.
I haven't heard a like of criticism from anyone on the slab coin after the update. I though peoples opinions on it were it was variable but they prefer the split coin
For those saying that you can stick to default marksman and splitcoin with another variant of the slab revolver, you cant. the splitcoin window will pass before you can switch to another slab variant and firing.

Although seriously, good video, I was trying out green slab in violence and found that if you hit flash windows it’s ultrasick. It just requires ultraskill, but many in the community have a SSSkill Issue and are SSShit at dealing with long reload times. Have a good day.
As someone who plays with mainly the Red Railcannon and likes to Parry Shotgun Projectiles (Aka, someone who plays with explosives a lot), i am actually considering this.
And the reload isn't that much of an issue, i like to throw all my Coins and then Spin my Slarp/Slab Sharpshooter at them anyways almost all the time.
8:16 *cough cough* linguine *cough cough*
2 shot virtue ! Now we talking
9:45 ultrakill fan trying not to rant about how much hours in the game and waves in cybergrind he got:
I picked up the slab marksman after the video and realised that I suck at coin splitting and that the slab marksman is actually forcing me to become better at it. time to train and become the average slab marksman enthusiast.
The script of the video feels like "Can you beat Ultrakill with dementia" with so many repeats about the hate and punishes.
Alright, I'll try doing slab M, you managed to peak my interest.
So I was woundering - was this script a tribute to a "Can you beat ultrakill with dementia"? With these repetitions you actually peaked my interest, but I don't know if I'm convinced to use slab M.
Tho you, pointing out the hate on slab M at the end, had me thinking - "Can you beat Ultrakill with only slab marksman?"
I know, I know, "slab M is weak" and all, but I've recently watched a good video regarding strong sides of slab M. It had a little strange script with repetitions, but overall convinced me to try out slab M. Slam M is stands for Calculator, for those who don't know.
What was I saying? Oh yea, good video
"OoOh! It doeSnt HaVe SpLIT CoiNs!! It DOesNt HavE CrowD ConTrol!!11 ThAt meAns its BAD!!11"
My brother in christ, god and every other religious deity, if you need crowd control... *_COOOOOORE NUUUUUKE!!_*
Great video, ive been using the slab marksman alot and its great (i cant hit split shots tho :d)
"where the crowd control!!1!11" the conductor, oil, sawblades, core nukes in question:
@@nitrocool2.0-1 "oh hey guys he's using the alt marksman!!1 haha! He has no crowd control!"
The Firestarter shoved up my ass:
@@nitrocool2.0-1literally anything that goes boom
@@hhhhhh-zz2fw exactly
the thing is that it really depends, since ultrakill is a game about killing sometimes lesser enemies in a quick way, hitting two enemies would be better sometimes, but with the violence layer making so that filths or strays just almost dont exist, the slab marksman really becomes more viable.
I have been using this since its buff and to my own surprise it stayed in my arsenal ever since. Hakita nailed it pretty well so that I can incorporate it into a playstyle I feel fit.
FINALLY
i have waited for someone brave enough to said it aloud for me
Tried it today before even watching the vid, just because of the title. Got a new best in cybergrind from 32 to 33! Also, I switched to full jackhammers sometime ago and it's also very fun, but took much longer to get a hang of them.
I also used to rely a lot on sawblades, but+conductor is so much better and more fun and I finally started using oil which is also cool
I find that chaining a coinpunch then instantly throwing and shooting another coin w/ slab marksman is a lot faster and easier to do than shooting each coin individually. It refills the hammer like normal but also gives more style because the coinpunch allows the coin to be used again
THIS GUY IS UNDERRATED I TESTED IT AND I P-RANKED 6-1 FOR MY FIRST TIME FIRST TRY
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
In my personal experience i regretted using slap marksman for 2 months, i had to come back to default to make room for slap coin punch, slap sharp shooters punch and aerial railcoinpunch. To take this into consideration, newbie please go for what u consider the coolest tech u could do in Ultrakill and make room for it
I haven't watched the whole video and the reason why I don't use slab marksman is because i use the other two variants as slab so I can just switch variants when I need a more powerful shot
But you can’t use the split shot ability of the slab marksman that makes it so good. I recommend watching the video to learn more
@@infinityyworks
Won't need that when the other two's alt fire deal an obscene amount of damage without the splitshot. And when you pair them with a coin or two... Default splitshot and slab splitshot are both the same in a way that there are better ways to use The Coin and the splitshots are more for comfort than anything. Also throwing 4 coins into the air and seeing the splitshots annihilate the whole mob hordes is cool and cool factor supreme. Compared to that the spinning revolver looks lame af. You might disagree though, it's my opinion afterall.
I'm no pro, but I main the slab marksmen and it's my favorite weapon, you can still use the split shot by switching weapons, which that window is massive and not tight at all, the slab fire rate is also reasonable with the recharge rate of the coins.
I've been running all slabs since 2022.
4:49 that cerberus quick kill just made me bust
finally, slab marksman getting the recognition it deserves
Good video, made me not think of the slarksman as a downgrade. In terms of multiple-coin interactions, the default will always be peak, and it’s still my favorite for that reason (especially with coinpunching tech in mind) but there is merit to using the slab if you’re good at other means of crowd control
Default marksman for multi-target hits, alt for dealing with single targets. That's all.
Finally someone recognizes the power of the slab
you should make a video on chargebacking. its super fun to do with sentries and it can one shot mindflayers when you chargeback sentries. i dont see many people doing chargebacks
I personally prefer the fire rate of the default. Plus the default's capacity to kill four people at once is difficult to ignore.
Tbh yeah it is sad that the normal splits are gone but in return All revolvers of slab gets reloaded LIKE THATS SO OP against non boss cerberus'es and if you ask me i am a certified cerberus hater so its a big w
you're making it! 10k views in 1 day, congrats man
i went into the playground,
and the slab marksman actually did more damage with coins, for some reason.
(I love it)
I've always used all slab pistols so I've been pre-gaming this video
I've got my highest scores ever in cybergrind using the slab marksman with every other slab revolver. Quickswap between them for very solid long range damage. You only need to reload one of them in order to use all of them again.
I'll tell you why I didnt use it. It didnt have a Split Coin mechanic when I used it last lol but now that I'm back in the game, man, I cant take it off
You can use both, actually. Use regular marksman and then switch to Red/Blue alt, it doesn’t matter what coin you use, it just the revolver (:
It’s crazy how good “off-meta” loadout are strong. I use triple slab triple jackhammer and double nailgun and sawblade jumpstart. Slab marksman is also really good for breaks. If you are trying to, build up speed, then just hitting a couple split shots is more than enough to keep the damage rolling, and the triple slab switch is absolutely cracked on insurrectionists. I feel like you should cover jumpstart sawblade, though, it’s really good and almost nobody uses it
in the conclusion stamp you just go fucking ham while calming music plays 10:30
The main problem is that the slab coin doesnt deal locational damage, so its default ricoshot is actually weaker than the normal marksman for enemies with weakpoints, so you have to use splitcoins if you want it to deal good damage. Very high risk high reward.
But for tanky enemies without weakpoints like insurrectionists, mindflayers, and virtues, the slab marksman's splitcoin mechanic is stronger, and it also works against the hideous mass weakpoint for some reason
Hold on guys, he’s on to something
I dont use the alt marksman but I agree with you, im gonna try this variant
after watching this video i went to check it out. p ranked 4-2 and 3 and 5-2 and 3. thank you kind sir.
you could still use the seperation coin if you switched to a default revolver but the timing has to be insanely precise
7:50 the transition is smooth as fuck
Me who only uses slab marksman wait this is controversial?
i feel like i should point this out but dead coining feels cool as hell with the alt marksman. yes, the default marksman does do more damage and probably gives more style too, but its easier with the alt, atleast for me
The reason i use default is because split coining is amazing but also because it takes less skill, if you have the timing down, you can CLOWN on your enemies with 12 back to back slab shots.
Gonna try to practice slab marksmen since I regularly get to wave 45 and might help me reach wave 70
Honestly? Regular marksman is way less useful than the other CC options. Only two enemies per splitshot is pretty bad. Slab can do all of the other things that the regular can, and does more damage outright. V1's arsenal is overflowing with crowd control so having high single target damage too is great.
You convinced me, but now I'm quite 50/50 of what to. Use, good thing that I have two options now, I was a ahater before, just because of not split, but now with conductor +rockets and nails and Jumpstart this makes it waaay more powerful and worth it I didn't knew that conductor damage got so enhanced with the slab, got it, no longer a hater, not for fame, not for hating, but for the past, the thing that was always a nono for me was the slab, but, the old slab good thing that now seriously, every ultrakill weapon is viable, usable, useful and awesome
I think you need to have a default and an alt revolver so you can use both of their properties when shooting coin. whichever one goes on the marksman itself I think just depends on which one you want to do more. I think having all alternates or all defaults loses out on so much potential.
valid opinion, do what you want with you're weapons choice as long as you enjoy it
“The slab marksman is good!”
*Sighs*
*Checks comments*
7:52 was a clean transition tho
I thought I was utter trash at the game, then I discovered nukes…
Then I realized how trash I am because I can never land them. Still P-ranked P-1 on violent.
I might legitimatly switch to slab marksman holy hell
"clair de lun-A" lmao
I remember getting it, and after testing it, wondering why everyone hated this weapon
Honestly, I still wonder to this day, I think it's really fun to play and it's far from bad.
Tbh I don't think there's a single useless weapon in the game. There's a lot of options but they've somehow made them all useful and fun to play.
I'm still not over the screwdriver vid.
Мне кажется нам всем придётся пересесть на альт марксман на новой сложности
Потому что мне кажется что в UKMD дроны не будут умирать с одной монеты но и попасть чем то другим по ним будет тяжелее
3:05
And he was a fairy✨️🧚♂️
I used the slab marksman to P-rank V2 on 4-4 and 1-4. Only the slab. Before Act 3.
THIS GUY DESERVE MORE SUB
You could just alt piercer with default marks, giving you splitcoin and whateveryoucallthealtcointhingy
or do it in reverse with alt marks and default piercer
To be fair, I didn't know it got buffed.
i think people still hate the new and buffed revolver bc the update shaded its buff with the rest of the "more interesting" changes the update had
Alot of players (myself included) prefer to use coins on rail cannons and Piercer alt cuz it just does more damage, see the use case, it just isnt worth the extra effort because you can get the same result with more style points by using other weapons. Its viable, its just worse than the alternatives. i dont think its the worse weapon tho, that goes to default nailgun
Just equip the alt piercer and when needed switch to it after throwing coins 🤷♂️
I agree I love the slab marksman, unfortunately splitcoin simply outmatches the the slab when doing no damage, for act I at least, I've yet to make it to act II, where I think it will be a good choice with more tanky enemies that can't be killed by 1 default coin..
guys dont trust he is lying he has a mod that makes the default marksman look like the slab marksman
i hope you're joking
Honestly, I think the weakest revolver version, as of this video, is the regular piercer because, for how I play, the piercer is a fire and forget kind of weapon, so the longer recharge is not as much of an issue to me.
Additionally, if one needs to use split coins, there's always switching to a variation that's the default revolver.
_WATER DRINKER PROPAGANDA 🗣🗣🗣_
_ANYWAY THIS MAKES ME WANT TO TRY SLAB MARKSMAN IT SEEMS SO FUN-_
_7:52__ ALSO THIS TRANSITION IS CLEAN_
i have been training my skill in the slab marky
I haven't heard a like of criticism from anyone on the slab coin after the update.
I though peoples opinions on it were it was variable but they prefer the split coin
I've used the slab marksmen for a while but I prefer the default due to the 2 shots from hitting a coin
i started to use slab marksman and default piercer to spite people and ended up having a lot of fun with them so they became my main lol
