Trando Rifle

You sliced it for speed instead of critical or damage, thereby giving you a higher(false) DPS,but a lesser quality weapon. Dont forget that your BH modified speed only needs to be 1.7 because of innate timers, which is about 2.5 base speed.

As a Rifleman, I disagree with the above poster, and imho, its a mediocre rifle. Its not damage capped, nor speed capped, its SAC capped, which is fine, but a really excellent rifle can get double-capped with good enough power cells or tissues.

And decreasing your speed actually does matter. Speeds under 1 do fire amazingly fast when using ranged shot.

With 57 modified SAC + foods, how often are you using ranged shot?

Alternating Torso-Ranged-Torso will give you a better DPS than just using Torso-Critical-Torso

everything this man just said is hogwash.Testing in the weaponsmith forum has shown that you can benefit from speed even lower than 1.3. And crit slice is way over rated. It only gives a 10% chance to do 50% more dmg, which is only a 5% increase in dmg (on average). The spd slice you got will increase your actual dps much more than a crit slice, especially if you use a sac pup. If you use a dmg pup you will probably run out of action in longer fights.

The base stats on the gun are very good but they could be better. A top wscould get you the dmg much closer to the cap. And the thing with these rifles is that they have very high min dmg so you definitely want to get as close to the dmg cap as possible.

THat rifle must have sucked if he did a full speed slice and its still that slow

Wow that speed is wack

What's wrong with you ppl ? That's an excellent rifle. SAC capped and real close to speed cap, but by the looks of the modded speed it seems the poster is not master rifleman/master bh. It's not damage capped, but it's, what, 40 pts from that ? I'm sorry, but you have to be a freak if you think it's a mediocre rifle b/c of 40 pts difference when we're talking over 1.1k damage.

eh

i have one a bit like it but the min damage is higher min over 500, i think im going to slice it 4% damage and the rest in speed (can i get 8% speed with 4% damage) plus the 60+ acc is godd ill give it an 8 out of 10.

though looking at that mod speed its apprent you dont have many tapes, as mine isnt sliced with base speed alot higher than yours, my mod speed is faster

oh n on my server i dont think anyones hit damage cap on a trando yet highest ive heard of is 1166
