its always a hard call between the advanced laser rifle or the heavy lightening rifle.

ALR: damage cap 1184

HLR: damage cap 1140 + 40 elemental damage

similar speeds, similar min damages

the only real differences are that the HLR looks nicer, sounds nicer and is a little rarer - Oh and it will hit harder against most energy armor as tehelemental damage is lower than the energy(the thing to wear for all PVPers is high energy armor resultiing in lower elemental protection)

i'd go heavy lightening rifle every time

a crafted trando hunting rifle is a nice choice.

Get yourself a LD1 or Hyper rifle. aka Kash quests. Both kinetic damage.

The hyper rifle, is nice against other ranged users that tend to wear recon armor. The energy rifles are handy for everyone else you might face. I have a covert retaliation, AKA necrosis rifle. Its a pretty nice gun, but the trando rifle can be crafted better.

You get HLR's off of vendors.

If you've got the Kash (OMFGPUNSOWNJOO) have a weapon smith custom make one for you that kicks ass.

doesnt adding a advanced weapon scope make the rifle kinetic damage? like onto a trando?

I thought the bug was the other way. Adding some looted scope makes a kinetic weapon to energy?

You cant scope a bowcaster. But using the pre-pub 22 scopes with high acc bonus makes any kinetic weapon energy. Using those same scopes any energy damage weapon becomes blast.

That was a good question, now I can go back and have a better idea of what I want to buy to use.
