I feel like a super noob asking this but I hear that when a weapon is altered with a krayt tissue it can be super powerful. Example: A flamer can hit for over 10k if it has a good Krays tissue in it correct? if that is true can all commando weapons have this? On the weapon itself it says Max dmg 1150, but when altered can hit A LOT more.

Gorax bones or spider fangs...do they do the same or similar effect as Krayt tissue? Thanks

No worries...feel free to ask any questions here...we flame but we don't bite...

During the crafting process it takes 5 Krayt Tissues to make a Krayt Enhanced Flame Thrower (but surprisingly it only 9 tissues to make 2 since 1 tissue is for a reusable schematic)...all tissues MUST have the same serial number and can only enhance the FT during the crafting process.

The speed and damage boost are determined by the quality of the tissue...most higher priced tissue has high values of both, but I find I can get cheaper prices if I look for tissue with a high value of one but low value of the other (usually speed for me)...I usally advise not trying to get the best of both worlds (speed and damage) unless you have lots of credits to burn...Most folks in other professions are looking for high damage tissue, so I can usually find good prices on high speed but low damge tissue...Base level tissue appears to be Damage +30, Speed -.3, so if you can, look for better in either area then that...

Damage Vs. Speed is up to Commando personal preference...Personally I prefer speed since the speed of our weapon is also tied to the length of our delay inbetween specials...we are already capable of nice damage levels, so speed is typically the issue...BUT...if you have the money, I suggest getting a Krayt FT focused on speed AND another Kraty FT focused on damage and switch them out based on your own strategy (I use my speed one for specials, and my damage one for general shots)...

And don't forget...Krayt Enhanced FT's CAN be sliced...That's how I got my 2.3 spd, 1150 damage Krayt FT (and I know there are better out there)...I used high spd tissue (moderate damage tissue), and then got lucky on a great damage slice...

I hope this helps...and if anyone has anything to add (or correct me on) go for it...

Garvin is right. Get some tissues with good speed, -0.5 or better is what I prefer to use with low damage (+45 or less). The extra damage on higher damage is not worth the money since the base damage is already high on the FT isi in % the increase is low.

Also, make sure to get a form-fit stock (from imp theme park). They add some extra damage 25 min 30 max but even more important increase speed with 0.5. Also some better range mod (compared to no stock). Also no penalties like increased HAM cost like it is for normal stocks.

Other (but expensive) enhancement is to get an exceptional/legendary rifle barrel. I have one with -1.4 speed (also adds 156 ideal range lol and some extra damage). Been saving that barrel if I decide to go Commando (or if speed get more important after CU). Only weapons that really can benefit from that barrel today is FTs and LLC.
