Soooo, can we turn our pre19s in for ones w/o aoe

That was one possible idea people floated around when the fix was announced. Alot of people just wanted the old ones to be fixed along with the newly looted ones. At the moment theres been no mention by anyknow in the know regarding a trade in, fixes, or anything of that kind. Those with a post19 proton are happy. Those with a pre19 proton are screwed (myself included).

2 words: Toggleable AoE

Where do you get it/loot it or quest it from?

Now...i bought this proton rifle, that has a 65 meter range ( i think 82 with the ranged arms) and a 6 meter radius attack.....but it doesn't actually work...........this weapon radius effect broken or something?

Proton Rifle is a Heavy Weapons Mod weapon (that is not a rifle)

the proton rifle is not supposed to have an AOE - the broken part is the fact that it says it has a radius. If the radius was working it would of course have a splash area around the target that was 12m in diameter. It is the only non AOE weapon commandos have.

So the Luncher pistol is the longest range AOE weapon i can use?

Try the

Acid Stream Launcher (64)

Rocket Launcher (64)

Heavy Acid Rifle (45)

The Rocket Launcher and the Heavy Acid Rifle are both single-target as well.

The Acid Stream Launcher is the best weapon Commandos have for throwing states onto a group at range.

Yep and the more and more I see the HPBC in action, the more convinced I am that it can be thrown in the non-AoE lot as well, or at the very least...it AoEs only when you have targets perfectly lined up...which in battle is very rare.

Nope, and nope!

Well...ok a sorta on the first one. Its actually a semi-rare loot drop off of NK-Necrosis, who is the "boss" of the Myyydril Caverns. You have to travel to the end of the caverns, get a red naktra crystal, then you can fight him and if you're lucky enough, he'll drop a Proton Rifle.

Its not for the faint of heart solo, especially if you're a commando. Best bet, get a good group...damage dealers, tankers, maybe a *cringe* jedi or two and do some Necrosis runs. You can do it without...force help...but its a lot harder, and for the average gamer, near impossible solo.

Or you can buy it, be I would strongly not recomend that for 2 reasons:

1) You'll save money. Most weapon loots off this guy go for 500k-1 million on my server, might be around that for others. The Proton Rifle generally sells for a few million due to its uncommon drop rate.

2) You might be buying a pre-patch Proton Rifle. A few publishes ago, there was a fix (one of two for the profession in 7 publishes, I may add) that allowed the rifle to be fired again. However this fix only was to effect newly looted rifles. Fortunately some pre-patch rifles started working again, others didn't, but the ones that did produce an AoE. Post-patch rifles, are single target and do not produce an AoE...but also apparently don't produce an AoE with AoE specials either...

Do they all have the same stats or all different?
