Tactical Information
- The SMG-72 Pummeler has reduced damage and rate of fire compared to the SMG-37 Defender, but has the concussive round trait that can stun enemies.
- The concussive rounds work differently than those found in the AR-23C Liberator Concussive.
- These rounds have the ability to temporarily incapacitate enemies, providing Helldivers with a tactical advantage in critical situations, such as when confronted by a Bile Spewer preparing to attack or a Warrior initiating its final offensive maneuver.
- The stun is a status rather than the standard stagger effect of guns. The effect can be stacked up to a certain point (around 20~ shots on a target) by which point the stacks begin falling off unless maintained with constant fire.
