Small, isolated enemies:
If youre ever bothered by a single grunt guard or slasher shoot them once with the M1000. Anything smaller than that should be handled with a pickaxe to conserve ammo.
Swarms:
For small swarms, you should just shoot them with the boomstick, which will light several of them on fire, and deal significant damage among the rest.
For bigger swarms, kite them into a smaller area. if you aren't able to, use a pheromone grenade to make them group up. Once you have done one of these, shoot them with the boomstick.
Large or high value targets:
Use the special powder or grappling hook to get to a place where you have line of sight with their weak point, then focus them with the M1000. (Remember that Electric focus shots deal 135 damage over 6 seconds)
