The first energy shotgun and the first weapon with variable firing modes in Arc Raiders. The Dolabra can fire a wide electrical burst (crowd control, PvE) or a focused funnel (single-target, ARC armor cracking). Energy ammo puts it in its own ammo pool — no conflict with any other weapon. Legendary rarity means no upgrades and no tiers, but also no crafting chain to grind. You find it or you don't.

Two firing modes means two complete stat profiles to test. The wide burst likely has higher total damage if all pellets connect (like Il Toro) but worse at range. The focused funnel likely has tighter spread with better per-shot damage for ARC armor cracking. Need to test both modes against the PVP dummy.

VERDICTThe Dolabra introduces two firsts: variable firing modes and energy shotguns. The wide burst vs focused funnel choice adds a layer of skill expression no other weapon has. But Legendary rarity means it's rare to find, can't be upgraded, and losing one hurts. Blueprint drops from Close Scrutiny. The real question: is this a 'bring to Close Scrutiny' weapon or an 'every raid' weapon? Stats pending verification.
Dolabra vs Vulcano

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.

Dolabra vs Il Toro

The Il Toro is the budget shotgun (Uncommon). The Dolabra is the premium energy shotgun (Legendary, blueprint from Close Scrutiny). The Il Toro uses Shotgun ammo; the Dolabra uses Energy. No ammo conflict — you could run both, but that's a lot of weight in CQC weapons.

Dolabra vs Equalizer

Both use Energy ammo. The Equalizer is a beam rifle (long range, sustained damage). The Dolabra is a shotgun (close range, burst damage). 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.
