The Pulverizer is one of the Berserker's tier 3 weapons. For its primary attack mode this sledgehammer performs fast swings that do medium blunt damage, the attack button can also be held down to perform a combo. Its secondary mode hits with an explosive round on contact with an enemy, dealing damage to mutiple ZEDs in a relatively large area. When out of munition the secondary attack is being replaced with the heavy blunt swing. Its alternate fire is used to parry and block incoming attacks. As a part of multi-perk weapon system Pulverizer also belongs to the arsenal of Demolitionist.
Description

Technical Information

Rate Of Fire:
Primary (combo) = 96.

Rate Of Fire of the Explosive Attack (rough estimation):
As soon as Pulverizer connects with the ZED it start 1s timer where it plays its pump animation. On average, as off perk, it takes around 0.7-0.8s for alt-fire attack to reach ZED so ROF of explosive attack should be around 60 / (0.8+1) = 33 RPM. Firing interval remains the same (1s) regardless of melee speed skills, but time that it takes to connect with the ZED - does. For level 25 Berserker average ROF should be near 60 / (0.6+1) = 38 RPM.

Notes
- The Pulverizer has an unique explosive attack. The damage from the explosion adds on top of the heavy blunt attack. This explosion is directional, it has a shape of right circular cone with the length of 4 meters and the angle between players veiw center and cone's slant height equal to 75 degrees (the explosion covers 150 degrees in front of the player).
- Amount of damage per horizontal strike depends on player-to-ZED angle. Horizontal strikes do no more than 75% and not less than 50% of the base damage value.
- Blockable damage types: Bludgeon / Slashing.
