Trailblazer

The Trailblazer is a double-action revolver in. It is much like a pistol version of the CM Gigavolt, though in comparison, the Trailblazer has a much smaller magazine, of 6 rounds compared to the Gigavolt's 20. It deals the same amount of damage as the Gigavolt and fires faster than the Gigavolt ever did, since the Gigavolt got changed to full auto 5 RPS compared to the Trailblazer's 8.

It's good against medium-sized groups of weaker zombies and small groups of Bloaters and their worms. Its small cylinder size means frequent reloading, though the reload time is fairly short. Unlike most pistols, which have no movement penalty, the Trailblazer reduces the movement modifier by 5%. It is similar in appearance to the Nitro Express .600, which is in.

Like the Gigavolt, upon striking a zombie or wall, the ammunition causes electrical arcs to chain to nearby zombies, damaging them. The amount of zombies each shot arcs to has a limit equaling the pierce. In addition, the damage of each shot depends on the number of zombies it arcs to, as with all arcing weapons. For instance, if the shot arcs to 3 zombies, the damage each zombie takes is tripled.

Overall, this is a compact, portable version of the Gigavolt. Good against Shielders as shock can damage them from behind.

Good augment choices are Deadly for increasing its DPS, Capacity for extending the duration of shooting, and either Adaptive to kill off Shock resistant enemies with ease, Piercing to further increase the damage dealt through arc-multiplying effect, or Race Modded to fire more frequently. However after as of April 30th, 2015, the reload time was nerfed to cap off at 20%, so Race Modded is not recommended.

Mechanics

 * As an weapon, it will arc to nearby enemy upon trigger.
 * Arcing will trigger upon hitting any destroyable objects, or specifically, anything that will not cause bullets to leave impact spark, including anything destroyable, zombies, plant (that apparently is undestroyable), and all doors in Meltdown except lower main door.
 * As can be described as hybrid of the Gigavolt and Jupiter, it will not arc over and over again like the Gigavolt, but will pierce until its pierce count runs out, and release an arc every time it hits a target.
