When to Pick Each
PICK DOLABRA WHEN
Sustained fire and versatility. 100-round magazine, Strong ARC pen, and secondary fire beam for medium range. Never reload mid-fight.
PICK VULCANO WHEN
Fastest kill in the game. 0.8s TTK with semi-auto fire. Dump and kill before they can react.
DOLABRA STRUGGLES WHEN
Raw burst speed. Can't match the Vulcano's TTK in a straight close-range duel.
VULCANO STRUGGLES WHEN
Range and ammo. Epic rarity, and pellet spread makes it useless past close range. No secondary fire mode.

The Dolabra and Vulcano are Arc Raiders' top-tier shotguns. The Vulcano's 0.8s TTK remains the fastest kill in the game for pure CQB, while the Dolabra's 100-round energy clip and Variable Focus beam give it versatility the Vulcano can't match. Choose the Vulcano for rush-and-kill; choose the Dolabra for sustained engagements.
