Thought you might like to see this. Unsure if it's live yet. Anyone know? Also, how do I raise Nym faction (I'm at -5K lol).

It is live and has been discussed add nauseum,I would love to see something similar that is able to be crafted, but unfortunatly Carbines are the red-headed stepchildren of ranged weapons. I dont understand why a Post-Nerf Scatter Pistol is still as powerful as everything that is not a Laser Carb, and mitigation will kill the Laser Carb in a hurry.
The slug thrower should be the base stats of every tier 4 carbine, and the elite should have 30+ damage on top of the tier 4 Carbs. Maybe when they add some elite weapons, we will see some damage similar to the awesome slug thrower.

Thanks.
I'm a master maksman and carbineer 1-1-1-1. If I'm fully buffed with comp armor will I be able to do the missions? If so, I'll do them tonight. It will be nice to get away from quenkers for a while!

I had no problems with them, but I had a tank... I've not tried them without the tank (his name is (Jeckle)) but It would seem that buffed, you would have no problems. Please let me know if I am wrong and don't forget to get it sliced... I don't find it incredibly useful, but I still like to use it and its a good suvoiner (sp again)

Yeah, I get the feeling that it is not the most useful gun out there, but I like souvenirs also.
Thanks for the input!

Its not. Nice looking, but its really substandard next to a good DXR6.

You will be able to sleep-walk through the 3 missions....

Nym's Slug Throwers are plenty useful, but only at short range (see thegenerous pointblank penaltyon the gun). Get a good slice and powerup, and you have an AP1acid gun for whena creature/player is snapping at your heels. DXR6 is a better acid gun at other ranges.

I recommend you read the FAQ for basic weapon stats.....

What would you like to be noted from the faq for this topic? That the dxr6 has a closer ideal range than the nym's? That most dxr6's, high end ones anyway, seem to have better min/max dmg than the nym's? Don't be so smug. 
Despite it's shortfalls, I still love using slugthrowers, if only for the cool sound effect!
