Shoots in front of you in a steady rhythm. Knocks back enemies |
| — Weapon description |
The "Warthog" Auto 210 is one of the weapons available to the Engineer in DRG Survivor. It is unlocked upon reaching Player Rank 5, and is equipped by default for the "Tinkerer" Class Mod.
The "Warthog" Auto 210's behavior differs from other weapons by the fact that it is one of the very few to which the survivor has some form of control over its aiming. Its firing angle is completely dependant on the direction the survivor is facing, rather than the presence and proximity of bugs around them, and will keep firing on its own no matter if there are bugs to shoot or not. Its rate of fire, uniquely enough, is in perfect synchronisation with its reloading speed, effectively allowing it to keep shooting with great consistency. Its damage per shot is also incredibly high, and can be considered as one of the highest in the entire game. Do note that the weapon's base damage is not per shot, but per pellet, meaning that if one wants to know the true amount of damage per shot, they must multiply the total damage by the amount of pellets per shot. Combined with the knockback caused by the pellets, the high piercing potential, and the tight spread of the shots, makes the "Warthog" Auto 210 a formidable weapon all around.
The only major downside this weapon has however is, as mentioned earlier, the absolute dependency on the survivor's facing direction. It is completely unable to aim on its own, and requires the survivor to guide its shots. In cases where they need to move away from the bugs for example, the survivor must turn around to land their shots on the pursuing bugs, eventually relying on hit-and-run tactics.
