Hey can anyone verify that you can kick some major.... Butt in the Geonosis (SP) Caves using the Adic Rifle? If so let me know and maybe with this new information Acid Rifles can be moved out of the "Red Headed Step-Child" stage in the Commando list of weapons.

Erm, that's a bit of exageration... I think barely squeak by in terms of effectiveness is a better description. For a Heavy Acid Rifle, it's rather odd that it's out-damaged heavily by a DX2 that can AE specials at 64m out.

Acid Rifle's arnt great in Geo .. But since everything seems to have 95%+ heat resists its almost the only way for commando to go ...

I think the best option in the Geonosian caves is the LP actually, since lots of stuff is vulnerable to blast. The best single-target attack for DPS if you haven't hit a speed cap is healthshot1, so I would recomend using the LP over the HAR. Just make sure particles are turned down and that you have a nice video card.

Yeah unfortunately the HAR is still a terrible weapon. Barely worthy of being called a weapon at all really. Hopefully things will change with a damage increase and maybe some AP.

I was actually quite happy when they fixed the HAR mods. I used it in the Geo cave to pretty good effect. But then they "fixed" our consumables so we can use them indoors. With a speed sliced acid stream launcher, you're much better off. Much more dps.

Im sorry but the HAR blows in comparison to what a master pistoleer can do with a DX2. Not only does it have AP1, but fan shot can hit multipul targets for 1500 dmg every second. I know becuase when I was a master pistoleer for a while thats how I would get tons of loot in the geo cave.

Har completely sucks in geo caves, I have a 3.2 speed 750dmg one and i can out dmg that with my 130 dmg vkers. fyi, Hars only do about 2k-3k pve and have the same delay as flamethrower. I can completely solo that cave with good armor good vkers and a nice speed flamethrower.
