Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Due to the higher overall DPS, the Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol isn't quite as punishing as its regular Hyperburst Pistol counterpart if you miss a shot or two, however, it is still advised to hit as many full bursts as possible for maximum damage potential.
  • The Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol has a small mag size of 18, or 6 full bursts, so keep that in mind when in a close range engagement.

Counters[]

  • Due to the small mag size, the Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol can be easily overwhelmed at close range by weapons like the Surgefire SMG, so carry that or a similar weapon can be advantageous when engaged with an opponent wielding the Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol.

Obtaining[]

As of Update v36.00, Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol can be obtained by eliminating Overlord Spire.
