The Popper Blaster is the answer to opponents who hide. Its shots travel at 23 meters per second and burst mid-air, so a direct hit splats instantly at 125 damage and the 2.6-meter burst still hits for 70 at the center even when it detonates against a wall.
That burst makes cover a liability. A player crouched behind a crate or around a corner still takes blast damage, and two bursts finish most fights. Shots fire slowly at a 0.78-second interval, so the Blaster rewards patience and prediction over tracking.
Play it at the edge of its 10.5-meter range, aim at the ground near a corner, and let the burst do the work.
