Is the beam rifle a nonconsumable? And if so is it any good?





Non-consumable at this point. It has DPS in the range of most the other Tier IV elite weapons: 2.5 223-446 with 102 heat dmg off the frog.

Thanks man, I can't log in, my launchpad is screwed so I'm relying on you guys for info.

I assume that we didn't get that assault rifle that commandos are supposed to have?

Same certs as before with the exception of our disposables being non-disposable currently and really cool looking skins for them as well as it seems they will be equippable. The additional (read:new) certification I see is the Massassi Knuckler and does energy damage rather than kinetic even though it looks like it is metal wrapped in tusken raider underwear.


*Edit* Oh yeah and of course the assault armor cert.

Did you look at the stats on the Massassi Ink Rifle...if I'm seeing them right, it's the most powerful Rifle in game (if not one of the most powerful weapons)...seems pretty heavy to me...It's even more powerful then the T-21 (by .4 or .5 DPS)...And it works at 65m...seems like a fairly nice ASSULT rifle...still think it doesnt fit Comamndos?

Finally was able to log in! woOT! I beat AOL and dialup!


Garvin,


Yes I saw the stats. Yes, they are nice. But the gun itself is horrid, I dont care what kind of story is behind it. The majority of the players wont even know the story to begin with, much less even care. The simple fact, IMHO, the gun does not fit Commando...In that respect, neither do the Massassi Knucklers, but I can live with those (although I would prefer the Blast Knucklers)



When I think about Commando, I think of highly trained, specialized troops with access to the latest and best military hardware. Not ink rifles from 4000 years ago. Proton Rifles. Proton Carbines. Launcher Pistols. Seeing someone run around in technologically advanced assault armor, carring a rifle made of wood just doesnt fit. Yes, I am concerned with how we look, just as much as how we perform. Thats probably a bit shallow....


It more fits a BH thana Commando...


The stats on the rifle mean nothing in as much since its a Master tier "reward", ANY weapon given at Master level would have virtually the same stats, or COULD be switched, if they want to keep the weapon given at Master Commando to be one of the, if not THE highest powered weapon...

Skins can always be changed...the point we should be pursuing now is filling our holes...so the question is, would the massassi rifle fill a void that Commandos have (butt ugly or beautiful)...Personally, I wouldn't turn down a beat up $100 bill just because it looked funny...


So my main goal is to GET us a weapon that we can use and is VERY useful to us...once I have it in my hands, THEN we can focus on cleaning it up...Why turn down a gift just because it looks bad...we might end up with nothing in it's place (which is better, something or nothing?)

I would use it if it was Pink and had flowers all over it...but then I'd push for the #1 commando issue to be "change the look of our new assult rifle"...given the choice of taking a pink weapon now that will fill a void or waiting 6 months for the devs to come up with something else while all the while we keep "dealing" with that void...I'll take the pink weapon...

I don't know why you guys don't like the Ink rifle


I think it fits us perfectly. It looks savage, brutal...damaging...destructive. It may not be the purtiest of rifles, or the slickiest. But it looks hella mean...


Pluuusss...it would be the T-21 equalivent if we got it

Couldn't we just swap the T-21 skin with rifleman then and call it squaresies?

Although I like how the Ink Rifle works, this would work with me too. T-21 looks more like a heavy weapon than a rifle anyways.
