What it's good for
Up close it melts groups, and the big belt lets you spray without worrying about ammo. Recoil and accuracy are poor, so at range fire short controlled bursts. With practice it stays deadly at distance too.
How to get it
Complete the Sweet Fifteen treasure hunt. For Impact Driver, head to Chancletas Resort on Barrial's east coast. The Best Defense rotates through Lola's Black Market.
Compared with its versions
Impact Driver fires armor-piercing rounds, adds faster movement while aiming and better body-shot damage, but only has two mod sockets and cannot be changed at a workbench. The Best Defense hits harder than the base gun and holds 150 rounds with an extended magazine.
