Strategy
If the player doesn't mind how overpowered the weapon is and also owns the Jade Mask, they can use it as one of their primary weapons, especially against groups of enemies or Warewolves. After finishing off the enemies, they can easily reload it by dropping it near an enemy corpse and using the Jade Mask on the enemy, then killing the enemy to retrieve the mask.
The Electrocutioner excels at clearing Towns due to its AOE damage. Players can simply ride a Horse to lure all the Enemies into a group and fire away.
Remember to leave a gap between you and the enemy crowd as you otherwise would kill your horse, causing unexpected deaths if you want to crowd up Werewolves.
Pros & cons
Very effective at killing any enemy in the game due to its extremely high damage.
Guaranteed to kill all normal Enemies in the game in one shot, including Werewolves.
Bosses also die pretty quickly as well. It takes 10 shots to kill Nikola Tesla. Killing Goliath requires 6 shots. Killing Lincoln's Ghost is instant. Can kill an entire crowd with just one shot.
Can hit enemies through walls.
Very high magazine capacity, at 20 shots.
Guaranteed to appear in Tesla Lab if Tesla is rebuilt.
Very high selling price of, although it serves much better as a Weapon.
Patch history
The Electrocutioner used to do significantly more damage (1000), until it was silently nerfed.
This is because it used to make 2 lightning bolts instead of 1.
However, there is a chance this is intentional, due to preventing them from reloading the Tesla Cannon with only 2 shots (with 2 Lightning Bolts each) instead of the intended 3.
The Electrocutioner fully reloads when a player holding it dies, gets revived, and opens their Inventory Crate. This is likely a bug.
The Lightning Bolt spawned from Self Revives can reload the Electrocutioner.
The Electrocutioner is currently the only unique Ranged Weapon in the game.
