So the general consensis is that crit slicing works now? not bugged? also, after i slice it i can still pup it right, that dosent count twards customization does it? Does anything besides slices count twards customization? Thanks

PS. What pup would work best on it also?

Yes, criticals work now. They aren't just for critical attacks anymore, they work for any attack. Yes, you can still use apup after the slice, pups don't have anything to do with the weapon caps. As far as what to use, just experiment with different ones and see what you like best. If you don't have the weapon ADK'ed, then you might want to just not use one at all. Pups make weapons decay quite a bit faster, so either ADK the weapon or be prepared to buy another one in a few weeks.

Is a lvl 3 the best crit slice you can get? no 4?

Yeah, level 3 critical is as high as it goes, and that adds 10% chance for a critical hit, 100% custom.

As far as pure number crunching goes, speed slices add the most damage. What those numbers won't tell you is how fast you'll burn through your action pool.I suppose you could go with some sort of speed slice combo and use a SAC pup. I prefer to save my action pool for when I really need it instead of being stuck doing nothing but low damage attacks since I burned 3/4 of my action in 10 seconds. For me it's all about the damage per SAC cost, and in my opinion the best slice for that is the full critical.

If you had a slow gun, then yes I'd say speed, but that's a pretty fast pistol. I have one that's just slighly faster (1.17 mod speed) after the 3 speed / 1 critical slice and it burns action like mad. It does have a higher SAC cost though,so I'm trying to buy one that's closer to the one you posted. (damage capped, speed 1.92, SAC 67)I already know that I'm putting a full critical slice on it, then I'll just play around with powerups to see what I like the most. The beauty of the powerups is that you could even pack different types and just slap on whatever best fits your current situation instead of packing different guns with different slices.If I get the gun I want, I'll probably sell my other two Featherweights i haveand just keep my renegade as a backup.

Isnt the speed going to be low enough tho once I master BH to make it almost unnecessary to put a speed slice on it. I know at some point less speed just stops doing good and becomes realativley useless, anyone know what this # is? So maybe putting it all into crit slice would be the best?

anyone know if it is infact past the speed slice cap?

It wouldn't hurt to try the speed slice. If it is past the cap, the person slicing it will get a message saying so...then they can proceed with a crit. slice instead.

ok well that rules out a speed slice if its true, since my modded speed is well below that mark. so the only ones left to consider are dmg and critical. i say dmg is still in the game because someone said that it upps your min dmg and that this is used more often in pvp. is this true? if i hand someone a dmg capped gun they will still be able to slice it for min dmg insted?

This one seems pretty obvious to me. No doubt in my mind go with a full critical slice. Think about how often you are going to be hitting criticals with that speed!

I too would suggest the full Critical slice.

Slice cap for speed is 1.72.
