it replaces disperal units in your disease and poisons packs, and its worth as much as you can con some sad soul into buying it from you for.

I think they're usefull for the new master combat medic, the ones who don't have all the resources they need stocked up just yet, this at least gives them stacks of nearly endless poisons/diseases. It can save a bunch of money using these. Just imo.

The Dispersal Mechanism does not contribute to power, but it does contribute greatly to range. Range and Charges are experimented on together. So what would you get it you replaced it with something that contributes to power and charges but not to range? Either A) experiment on range/charges and get insane charges, shorter-than-average range, and much LESS power; or B) experiment on power, and get slightly higher power, more charges, and very short range.


Option A is inferior in every way to what is possible without the bile. Unless for some reason you want to apply a very weak poison or disease really cheaply.


Option B can be made into a nice short-range area weapon for close-in. Like maybe a suicide bomb.


And a 5/70 bile is not particularly good. They are very common. Higher-powered biles may sell for thousands. But 5/70 is worth maybe 500 to 1000?

Yes! in fact it can be used in combat meds, most often it is put in as a comp (can't remember what one-infection amp?) and it significantly increases the charges on your poison (uses), while also sometimes providing a slight boost to power. On Kauri, i have payed anywhere from around 4k to around 8k for a single rancor bile, depending on the stats of it (eg pwr 7, charges 77=~4k, pwr 8 charges 105=~8-9k....on kauri)

I won't be using it again because of gimped ranged and also slightly less effectiveness - took my charges from 33 to 111 but dumped my range from 30 to 19 so instead of throwing from 60m I had to throw from 38 and with the stand in place and throw animation throwing from 38 m gets me killed! No big diff on the ticks, so not worth using it to my mind.

I use poison in PvsE alot, so I use the rancor biles to make health poisons and area health poisons for PvsE purposes only due to the number of charges they give. If a TKA or pet is on a nightsister, I can be close by and toss em then. However for PvsP purposes they suck cause they give crappy range

Ok, I give up, what is rancor bile used in/for? I have a ton of the stuff and thought it replace biological effect controlers, but it seems I am incorrect. How do I use it?
