- DLC Campaign Weapon: Impregnader

Uncover the Impregnader's stats, advantages, and drawbacks in Duke Nukem Forever's 'My, Myself and I' DLC. Learn how to use it effectively in campaign and multiplayer.

Alright, let's talk about the Impregnader, a pretty wild weapon you'll get your hands on in the 'My, Myself and I' DLC. It's basically a souped-up Pregnator, and while it's got some quirks, it can be a real lifesaver if you know how to use it. We'll break down its stats, what makes it good, and where it falls short, both in the campaign and in multiplayer.

Stats & Data:

• Damage: Campaign: Easy 81.25, Normal 65, Hard 48.75, DiG 32.5. Multiplayer: 45.
• Max Ammo Carried: Campaign: 24. Multiplayer: 30.
• Rate of Fire (Avg.): Campaign: 0.43 seconds. Multiplayer: 0.288 seconds.
• Melee Cooldown Time (Avg.): 0.87 seconds.
• Enemy Drop: No.
• Multiplayer Respawn Time: 30 seconds.

The Good Stuff (Advantages):

• It slowly recharges its ammo over time, which is pretty neat.
• It has a small splash damage radius, making it great for hitting groups of enemies if they're bunched up.

The Not-So-Good Stuff (Drawbacks):

• Be careful! The attacks can actually hurt Duke himself if you're not positioned right.
• The shots arc, meaning they travel in a curve. This can make it tricky to aim accurately, especially at longer ranges.

Campaign Specifics:

In the campaign, you can actually reload the Impregnader at an Ammo Crate, which is a bit of a lifesaver. Because it recharges on its own, you don't have to constantly hunt for EDF Ammo Crates. However, since the DLC campaign gives you pretty easy access to Ammo Crates anyway, the self-recharge can feel a little redundant at times. Also, a heads-up: this weapon won't work if you're underwater, so keep that in mind.

Multiplayer Notes:

If you're taking the Impregnader into multiplayer matches, you'll notice it's a bit faster. Both the recharge rate and the rate of fire are quicker than in the campaign, making it a more potent tool in competitive play.
