I have a laser carbine and am looking to improve it.


Could someone give me some help on which power up to buy for it?

It all depends on where you're at. At Matster you don't need speed... just try different ones. Another popular one is 16% min 33% max damage.

Any ranged powerup will work - muzzles, couplers, stocks, etc. As a novice I'd try to get some good (30%+) speed powerups. Prices range all over the place - 2000 to 5000 per crate of 10 is what I've seen.

I only use the 33% max/16% min damage ones, myself. As you get closer to master rifleman, you won't need speed boosts and you'll want the increased damage instead.

I use 33%max damage, 16%mind cost. I find that the increase to min isn't that beneficial since a 16% increase to 100 is only 16 points, and since the laser rifles min isso low, the increase isconsiderably less... Reducing the mind cost is very important to me since I rarely have any kind of mind buff.

33max/16mind in PvE, 33max/16min on a T21 or Jawa Ion in PvP.

Do remember, of course, that adding a powerup to a sliced weapons will cause it to decay very, very rapidly compared to just being sliced (which also speeds decay)


Some seem to forget that little tidbit, and wonder why their weapons 'die' so fast, when others use the same weapons for weeks.

Speed powerups give a better DPS, but this will also kill your HAM, I always used max damage ones on my laser carbine

Yeah, I burn through my T21s pretty fast. I stick with 33 max/ 16 mind....33max/16 min sounds good and I should try it out. However I wonder if there is a 33 min/16 max powerup and if that may not be a better option with damage mittigation.
