Vulcano in ARC Raiders

The Vulcano is a semi-automatic shotgun dealing 49.5 damage per shell with a 6-round tube. Unlike pump-actions, follow-up shots come as fast as you can aim them — two shells inside 26 meters end any fight. Weak ARC penetration keeps it a Raider-hunting weapon first.

Is the Vulcano good? Our S-Tier verdict

Consensus S for close-quarters PvP: the semi-auto action removes the pump's whiff punishment, and its time-to-kill inside effective range is the best in the game. Falls off hard past 26 meters — pair it with a ranged secondary.
