Carbineer Archive

I'm approaching a "fork in the road." For those of you who have both skills, which would you recommend I get *first*?

Thanks.

Well the burst shot 2 damage increase is very minor, and doesnt really even make up for the ham cost increase from what I've seen. Besides that, you'd also be getting a much more useful skill increase from scatter shot 1, if you dont have bounty carbine 4 already the +5 speed increase will be a ton better than counterattack in its current form.

Thanks for the advice. Plus, ScatterShot1 is a lot cheaper with respect to XP(same level as BS1), while BS2 is two levels up.

I thought the damage multiplier went from 2 to 3 for BS1 to BS2, which would be about a 50% increase. Is this not correct?

I don't have any BH skills. Not nearly enough scouting.

Well from my tests between burst1 and 2, in which I emptied my ham bars several times shooting those 2 shots on random things (ok granted this does not say much when talking about carbines.. but oh well) the damage difference was max hit a bit over 1500 on burst1, and a bit over 1550 with burst2. Nothing I particularily noticed about average or minimum damages, but who knows. Weapon used is a 26-266dmg laser carbine.
