Should I Get It?

If you don't tap, no, you shouldn't. Like Gunner Crab this only gives you any bonus if you tap. This is one of the few genes that actually does what it says it does without any implied double-speak or misunderstood words - instead of 2 crabs, a tap will spawn 3 at Level 1, up to 12 total at Level 10. You can say then that this gives you a 50% increase to your tapping damage at Level 1. Decide for yourself. For most, the combination of Laser + Gunner + the Cloning genes = beast mode when tapping.
