Is Basher Worth It?

Only If You're a Long-Ranged Fighter

Basher is only useful if you are using long-ranged weapons such as sniper rifles or other scoped guns, as you can deal additional damage with gun bashing if enemies get upclose.

At higher ranks, you can even cripple your enemies with gun bashing, which lets you move back to a safe position and snipe them down.
