This made it one of the strongest contenders for boss damage phases, whilst additionally having the versatility for quick add clear. | ||
It's ability to deal passive damage lead to an extremely popular variation of the 'hot-swap technique'. With Anarchy, players could fire two bolts at a target to achieve the weapon's maximum damage output before switching to two slug shotguns that could be fired extremely quickly using a 'hot-swapping' technique. Whilst the effect was limited in range, for the majority of bosses in the game this was an incredibly powerful technique that trivialized many of the hardest encounters. | It's ability to deal passive damage lead to an extremely popular variation of the 'hot-swap technique'.

Not only was this change made in light of its dominance in end-game content but additionally due to its increased scarcity. Received a 30% damage reduction to bosses, as well as a large reduction in total ammo capacity, (from 26 to 16) this nerf was significant enough to end Anarchy's long reign. Since the beginning of ''[[Season of Defiance]]'' Anarchy, alongside almost every other heavy grenade launcher, received a 20% damage increase reversing much of the damage reduction it received previously. | ||
