The first energy shotgun and the first weapon with variable firing modes in Arc Raiders. Confirmed: 0.8 rounds/sec (1.25s shot interval), 100-round energy clip, 2-shot kill through every shield tier in hip fire (practice range confirmed, body shots). ADS (focused beam) deals LESS damage than hip fire — 3 shots to kill Heavy Shield in ADS vs 2 shots hip fire. The Dolabra is the only weapon where aiming down sights reduces total damage. Hip fire (wide blast) kills faster than aimed fire (focused beam) at close range. Energy ammo puts it in its own ammo pool — no conflict with any other weapon.
Hip fire, body shots. 1.0x headshot multiplier means head = body. ADS vs Heavy = 3 STK (reduced damage in focused beam mode). Listed damage of 50 is likely per-pellet — a 2-shot kill through Heavy (80 HP, 52.5% mitigation) requires 106+ total damage per blast, so the Dolabra almost certainly fires multiple pellets per shot (pellet count pending wall-test confirmation).
Both are close-range shotguns. The Vulcano uses Shotgun ammo with fast semi-auto fire. The Dolabra uses Energy ammo with variable focus. The key question: does the Dolabra's focused mode match the Vulcano's raw TTK? If so, it offers ARC effectiveness the Vulcano doesn't have (Vulcano has Weak ARC pen). If not, the Vulcano remains the PVP shotgun king.

They share an ammo pool, which matters: running both means Energy ammo scarcity. But they cover opposite ranges — a powerful all-Energy loadout for ARC hunting.
