Talk:CM 800 Jupiter/@comment-1532095-20150109005210

Okay, I have a Jupiter- a 3 star, rank 8 version. Let me try to clear things up for y'all before you say "dis gun sux."

The Jupiter's damage is lackluster, true. And its ammo costs too much. However, the arcing effect is what gives this gun its "oomph." Experiments on the map "Vaccine" have proven the following:

-The arc effect does not harm any zombies standing directly behind the initial target. That is what the pierce is for.

-The arc effect does, however, harm all zombies within a 90 degree arc on either side of the zombie.

-The arc effect occurs from every zombie shot by this gun- even the ones affected by the pierce.

Conclusion: This gun is excellent for crowd control, but it is lacking in terms of small groups of bosses; be sure to have another gun to back it up.

Recommended Upgrades:

-Deadly: Obviously. The base damage alone demands it.

-Enlarged: This enables a larger "kill zone" for the arc effect, and more arcs will pop out.

-Pinpoint: The crits extend to zombies killed by the arc effect.

-Capacity/Race Mod: Either one is fine, depending upon your play style.

-Adaptive: The arc effect will do you no good against a crowd of energy-resistant zombies. This will give you a fighting chance.

-Piercing: This will increase the number of zombies affected by the arc effect, but it is not recommended unless you plan on making this your go-to weapon for crowd control.
