IS THE NEW MAELSTROM INSANE? (Black Ops 6 Zombies DLC 1)

[@Kora-u7e]

please make a video testing it on either the terminus or citadel des morts final boss

[@ThePaleKrow]

That's a great idea, appreciate the suggestion!

[@ThePaleKrow]

Just uploaded it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzUdIKLYrZgh80si=WftT05IvtWYdG-Xc

Dragons breath is amazing Even without DB i was making it "slug" with the tightest tac stance spread

[@chris_g.m.z]

Dam just tried tac laser shits crazy thx bro 🤝🏽

[@9Alive]

honestly the best part about it is the pap name lol nice vid bro keep grinding, redeeming the i was here before you blew up card

[@ThePaleKrow]

Appreciate the support!

[@split5174]

Personally I feel like if they don’t make shotguns explosive then they are terrible for late rounds even the ray gun is terrible so your forced to use other weapons such as the gs45 akimbo or that explosive sniper and even they get terrible late late rounds and against them things that run you have no chance to be able to turn in time to snipe

[@ThePaleKrow]

That is the meta for sure, I think the maelstrom would have been amazing with explosive rounds! Love the concept of that

[@KevinJones-xh5yk]

Its been my main since i unlocked it. That coupled with dragons breath is 🔥.

[@ThePaleKrow]

Glad you've been enjoying it! Going to be doing a build guide for the season 1 weapons pretty soon, aside from dragons breath, what else have you been running?

[@KevinJones-xh5yk]

@ThePaleKrow When I get on a bit later I'll comment here. I have a Reddot, suppressor, extended mag2, hipfire laser and dragons breath. It compliments the run and gun style perfectly. Completed the citadel last night with over 2700 kills.

[@KevinJones-xh5yk]

@@ThePaleKrow Suppressor, Ranger Foregrip, Steady Aim Laser, Extended mag2, Prismatic Reflex, Light Stock, CQB Grip and Dragons Breath. This really pops and fly's.

[@ThePaleKrow]

I'll give this a try, if I end up using it in the video coming up I'll be sure to credit you for this great suggestion!

[@KevinJones-xh5yk]

@@ThePaleKrow I'll look out for it dude. If you find better let me know.

[@UrNotThatGuyPal1212]

Better than the marine imo

[@Saint-14s-Shadow]

This gun is making my rethink my strategy on the camo grind. I'm basically skipping the melees and launchers, I've suffered enough going through those classes in previous Mastery grinds. On the 19th when we get the Barrett that'll be the 33rd weapon I can do. The first game I played trying to get headshots and level it up made me want to suffer through the melees and launchers, it's criminal how bad this thing is. Marine and ASG are infinitely better, getting them Gold and Opal was a breeze. To each their own but damn, for as cool as the gun looks it's just a pile of shit to use lol

[@ThePaleKrow]

As you said, to each their own. Once I got the slug rounds I got the gun in gold in one game or so, which was about average with the other shotguns. Best of luck on the camo grind!

[@ThePaleKrow]

Also, if you’ve not already, consider trying the cigma launcher, it’s a very easy gun to get camos for as when PaP’d, it gets 3 rockets you can fire off almost instantly.

[@Kora-u7e]

launchers are very quick grind using the points of power traps on citadel. grab phd thru the side easter egg, wait till rnd 25. or wait for directed mode citadel, wonderfizz will be available from spawn. as for melees, theyre a pretty natural grind by playing normally knifing the first 4 rounds

[@rhettbutler5397]

I dig your style and positivity! But if I'm being honest, this weapon is absolutely terrible and should be better. It should definitely have more ammo in the mag and in reserves. I will say though, it slaps with dragons breath

[@ThePaleKrow]

Glad you enjoyed! I do mention throughout the video that the ammo is easily letting the gun down. We’ll have to see if any adjustments are made to it, but I think for what it’s offering it is not the worst gun, and does some pretty good damage in some situations, with a tiny bit of tweaking it could creep up the rankings!

[@eldante4139]

How does it compare to ASG with DB?

[@rhettbutler5397]

@@eldante4139 Basically the same. Difference is, the ASG has overall a little more ammo and impact damage but the Maelstrom has a faster rate of fire and faster reload. I honestly enjoy the Maelstrom more when using dragons breath

[@ThePaleKrow]

I’ll echo this exact sentiment, the two guns are very similar in playstyle, the ASG is still better in most situations, but I honestly find the maelstrom to be very enjoyable. I’ve been testing different builds out and finding nice ways of buffing it (like dragons breath). TLDR; if you like the ASG, you’ll find similar qualities with the maelstrom that make it equally as fun to use.

[@Rapidly-HD]

kinda clickbaiting this terrible gun. '''Crazy Damage'''??

[@Kwispygod]

Exactly it’s terrible

[@Suneater5325]

He didn't say crazy good, he just said crazy

[@Existing_Echo]

@@Suneater5325it’s crazy how bad it is.

[@joshuamisko3808]

Yes round 10 pack one and rare level it was 4 shot body most smg are better

[@TheLtrain2010]

The gun is amazing yall tripping ​@Existing_Echo

[@4pumpchump]

Garbage shotgun

[@TheLtrain2010]

Your crazy the gun is top tier 👌 stop the hating

[@THE_FIREST4RTER]

Trash

[@TheLtrain2010]

Dude your tripping gun is amazing

[@user-mr6tg1yw2g]

​@@TheLtrain2010 why exactly? It has much less damage than the other 2 shotguns and even worse less ammo. You can full auto spray a train fast down but it needs alot of its ammo. I was so dissapointed it was a nightmare with this weapon on 35+ rounds and the way there wasnt easier Compared to the other shotguns.
