SG-225SP Breaker Spray&Pray

"A modified Breaker shotgun firing birdshot, small pellets which saturate an area to clear up smaller targets."

- Armory Description

The SG-225SP Breaker Spray&Pray is an automatic, drum magazine-fed shotgun in Helldivers 2. A modified version of the SG-225 Breaker, the Spray&Pray version is outfitted with a drum magazine giving it a much larger ammo capacity than the standard weapon. Instead of being loaded with buckshot or slugs, it is loaded with birdshot which increases the odds of scoring a hit in exchange for lesser penetration and per pellet damage.

It can be unlocked on page nine of Warbond: Helldivers Mobilize.

Role:
The Breaker SP is an extremely useful weapon against smaller unarmored targets like Scavengers and low level Warrior bugs as it can decimate large numbers of these enemies. The smaller pellets also have an unlisted benefit against enemies like Hive Guards, while they cannot penetrate the medium armor plating they can slip between the gaps between the head and foreleg armor. This allows one to deal damage against these enemies even when facing them head on. With the emergence of the Shreakers this weapon has become even more valuable. It's rapid rate of fire combined with a high number of pellets means it can obliterate these flying pests with ease.

It will however struggle against medium or heavy armored enemies unless a weak point is hit. This will often mean their utility against Automatons is much lower than against Termanids.
