Overview[]

This weapon has Part System installed.

Based on the XM1014, BALROG-XI is an auto shotgun that is developed by Aegis Laboratory. The much-touted Balrog Charging System will generate an incendiary round for each four shells shot in quick succession, with a maximum of seven incendiary shells which can be used as secondary fire.

Tips[]

This weapon is a proper replacement for those who like to use XM1014.
BALROG-XI's explosive shot can deal tremendous damage to zombies and obstacles.
You can shoot the explosive ammo while reloading.
An explosive ammo will be obtained after firing 4 pellets continuously.
The maximum of explosive ammo obtainable is 7.
It can take down barriers real fast with just some explosive shots.
Explosive shots' damage doesn't decrease over range in comparison with the Black Dragon Cannon. Furthermore, it has longer range but lower area spread than the latter one.

Not recommended for use in Original due to the lack of accuracy, useless in far range, massively expensive and low spare ammunition.

In addition, BALROG-XI's explosive shot damage has been reduced a lot. Need at least 2-3 explosive shots to take down a single target, even though in point blank.

However, BALROG-XI is very useful in closed-area maps such as 747, Dust2A, Roof or Gallery.

Functions as XM1014 with additional firing mode.

Keep an eye on your reserve ammo count.

1 round of explosive shot to the body can deal about 500 ~ 1000 damage to zombies, depends on the range.

Aim for the head with explosive shot for a massive damage of over 1000 ~ 1500.

Recommended to keep at least 2-3 explosive rounds in case of emergency situations.

Explosive shot's damage will be higher, if the target is closer.

Explosive shots have a high knock-back power but also a low stun power, so it is recommended to keep an appropriate distance.

Use the explosive shots toward host zombies, as they mostly have lower health or to send zombies in mid-air flying away, specially Light zombies or Sting Fingers.

Note that explosive shots cannot be combined with Deadly Shot, so use it carefully.

BALROG-XI can take down barriers easily with explosive shots so make sure you have enough ammo.

Keep your explosive rounds stocked in case of overwhelming zombies incoming so that you can escape easily.

7 bullets from explosive shots can deal 41000 damage to bosses, provided that the firepower has been maxed.

The Balrog Charging System is strong enough to kill zombies even without upgrading the attack power.

Keep an eye on your money in the beginning 600 rounds of BALROG-XI can burn out $9750.

Explosive shots are useful for battling mini bosses especially for Deimos and Ganymede. They are also useful for fighting bosses which have very high armor such as Revenant.

Explosive shots can penetrate through bodies but not walls.

Don't use BALROG-XI to fight against Kraken as it is immune to the explosive shots.

Trivia[]

A new muzzle flash was created for this weapon.
When an explosive shell is charged, it uses the BALROG-IX's charging sound effect.
Its secondary fire mode is similar to the Black Dragon Cannon's primary shot, except that BALROG-XI has a longer range albeit smaller area spread.
This is the second BALROG weapon in which the Balrog Charging System is activated manually after BALROG-I.
The word "BALROG XI" can be seen on the shotgun's receiver when reloading or drawing.
The word "BCS System" is printed on the buttstock, however it's hard to see in normal circumstances.
When shooting the explosive shot, a different shotgun shell model is ejected.
Unlike the original XM1014, BALROG-XI has a "muzzle brake" for emitting Balrog Charging System at the end of the barrel and an additional unused railing system on top of the barrel.
