Carbineer Archive

Hello all. From reading around I get the impression that DH17 snub nosed is our best bet to save on ham costs and such...but I cant find any for sale, so I'm going to make a post on my server board.

Basically, what is a good overall damage/delay and price?

My current best gun is a 85-140ish, 1.9 EE3

Any suggestions?

I use a laser carbine (forget the base stats, I believe it is 29-321 3.5 sliced for damage, original stats were 20-250 3.5) much of the time because of the good range modifier at medium/longish range. Up close and personal, it sucks - I'm sure I'm not the only carbineer that can attest to that. At close range I usually switch to a DXR6 and find I am using it more and more as my general use weapon simply because it has acid damage which so much is vulnerable to. My DXR6 isn't top notch, and it had a bad slice. I believe its stats are somewhere around 100-160 4.1. I've got a 80-240 2.2 EE3 but for some reason, I just don't seem to have good luck with it in combat.

I'm getting sick of getting my ass handed to me by gimpy enemies so I'm going to start wearing armor and shields full time now (good thing I'm an armorsmith and can make myself shields lol), and just last night my weaponsmith buddy said he was going to make me a sweet krayt dh17 snubnose, which I'm looking forward. I'll let ya know how my combat efficiency has improved/worsened!

The only problem i have with the DH17 subnose is that it lacks any type of armor peircing. Otherwise i'd be using one all the time. I agree with FekAltor about the DXR6 Carbine. I just got one this past weekend and its great for those high energy resist/acid vunerable creatures. Especially those Grondas that have 50% energy resist, but are vunerable to Acid damage. I just wish they would fix the armor peircing of it.

Not bragging, just stating what i got. No Krayt tissues used.

Laser Carbine :: 3.1 41-264, sliced for speed (i wanted damage, but slicing is random)

Elite Carbine :: 3.5 120-209, sliced for damage (originaly 103-179, only got a 20% slice)

DXR6 Carbine :: 4.2 104-163, non-sliced (i've seen better ones on my server, but i've got to them again)

dh17 (2.2 speed 91-310 damage) cost: 800k
