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.
