Thread: So is this the best PvP carbine now?
Well from what I found speed is the greatest advantage and the elite carbine though comparable to an E11 does abit higher damage with a definitley more attractive minimum damage. So, in the end worth the extra ham. Also, I agree about the powerups, better to increase speed and reduce ham then to worry about min/max damage. If your killing yourself faster then your target with your specials whats the point?
This is probably the elite's advantage over the Carbineers generally faithful Laser carbine, The higher minimum damage, which provides a more consistent damage over the long run.

1) a scope can be made to increase wound chance or increase ideal range at the cost of higher HAM. I have my scoped carbines made with +ideal range.
Not neccessarily.
It's entirely possible to remove ALL extra HAM costs from a Scope and still improve Wound % by 2 and Ideal Range by 10 (at the least). I know I have numerous crates of Scopes that do this. These are my "Great Scopes" I also have a batch of my "Good Scopes" that add 1 to HAM across the board with similar increases in Wound/Range.

personally i'd drop the scope and add a stock. if HAM isnt a concern then this wont matter to much plus it will add +30 to min damage. I had a bunch of DRX6 made with stocks and got the slice i wanted. now with a min damage powerup im doin 222-222 @ 4.0 speed. that hits hard with crippling shot, especially when theyre lying on thier back.
But stocks also add speed as well as HAM. Well, by adding speed, I mean it adds time onto the speed...
2.5 123-284 elite carbine
32% max damage and 15% to min power up
speed slice
They learned to fear the carbineers
fear and carbineers sounds alike, we are designated to kill
