Cabaret Submachine Gun

Cabaret mounts Perfect Thunder-Strike on a controllable MP5 ST. Shocked enemies take amplified weapon damage, and after a run of kills the gun applies shock to the next enemy you hit. Shock is among the harder effects to apply, since only the Shock Trap inflicts it among skills, so the self-applying part of the talent matters. Weapons such as St. Elmo's Engine or Scorpio can supply shock as well.

Perfect Thunder-Strike is the perfect form of Thunder-Strike. Named items carry the stronger perfect version, so the ordinary Thunder-Strike on a regular MP5 ST drop is the weaker sibling.

• 'High Stats (90%+)' asks for a copy whose attribute rolls sit at 90% or higher of their maximum.
• 'Upgrade to Prototype' lifts the weapon to the game's top item quality, and every Prototype item also rolls an Augment.
• In the Extras group you can add 'Self-play (Sherpa)' to the order.
• The Quantity selector allows up to ten copies.

• Your Agent is at level 40.
• Expertise level 30 is required if you tick the Prototype upgrade.

Is shock easy to apply?

Not especially. Among skills only the Shock Trap does it, so most players rely on the talent's kill trigger or on a shock exotic.

How does Cabaret differ from Big Show?

Same talent, different class: Cabaret is a submachine gun on the MP5 ST, Big Show a light machine gun on the MG5.

Where does Cabaret drop?

Enemies, vendors and weapon chests all carry it, and submachine gun targeted loot can roll it as well.
