You lose condition on a gun with each shot. The more shots, the more condition you lose. Shoot slow and the condition drops slowly...because you shoot fewer shots. Shoot fast and you lose condition fast..because you shoot more. Both will get the same number of shots...one will just get those shots out faster than the other.


Now with that in mind, an SAC PU wont affect that at all as you will shoot just as fast as without a PU, but will have more action so yeah..the condition will drop faster than without because you will live longer and shot more.








Yes.... One of those "urban legends" started by devs.


You don't lose condition each shot. You have a _chance_ to lose condition each shot. Adding a pup increases that chance. Using certain specials such as over-charge shot increases that chance. Even over-charge won't lose condition each shot.

"Where did you get that nice carbine from and how much did it cost?"


I got it from a very good WS. It cost me 3 million.


As for the SAC, I have a Proton Carbine with a similar SAC w/out pup. The SAC with a pup gets into the 50s, and I've never had any issue with running out of action with it. So I figure I'll throw a SAC pup on it.


(BTW, half-way there to the ADK! )

My only thought on this is that I have a carbine with a max damage of about 950 and an SAC of 76 and I RARELY have to worry about running out of action. I would pup the damage. There are foods that increase your action regeneration (like good ol' V. Brandy) but there is nothing else that will increase your damage. I dont think 82 is that high for an SAC.


Also, I would be affraid to pup it without an ADK. Dont pups reduce the life of the gun?

actually you are incorrect. I did testing on this Pre-cu** and pups did greatly increase wear. I tested per shot, not a timed period.

wasn't it in the original manual? i don't have my copy anymore to check.


anyway there is a _real_ easy way to check if it's around still. two people with similar templates use cdef's for a few hours on each other, one puping one not.

The original manual? Even with the Curb aside, that blasted thing was out of date and full of holes a mile wide the day it hit shelves in June of 2003.

I think the real issue here is:


Since when did gamers start reading manuals!?!


This new revelation is disturbing. Most disturbing indeed.

Get an action reduce pup. I can spam specials over and over and over doing 500+ damage a hit in pvp. I use a proton Carbine, sliced doing around 940 max damage. and use advanced crit shot as auto shot.
