Ive been thinking of taking novice commando so I can use the launcher pistol for the dot Healthshot1 & 2.


Right now my scatter pistol tops out at about 700 on Healthshot2. Ive read some posts with people talking about 1200-1600 point dots with healthshot 2 and a launcher pistol. Outside a sliced kyrat dammage boosted launcherpistol, what kind of dammage could I expect to get with Healthshot2 anda fairly decent launcher pistol?

I no longer use my Krayt FGW5 for Healthshots since my launcher pistol consistently does between 200 -700 Healthshot 1, and 400-1100 healthshot 2. And this doesn't include if I happen to toss in a powerup. The bleed damage combined is consistently over 1000. Then I switch to my Flamer and rock and roll!

Wait wait, are you guys talking PvE? Or PvP?

Also, what's the speed of these bad boys? Although, if you just use them for bleeders and then switch to a faster weapon, not a big deal I suppose.

I have both and the launcher pistol is alot more accurate at all ranged while I tend to notice that the Scatter isn't really suited to long range at all plus it tends to miss alot at the 15m mark too compared to the launcher. On the damage side they're around even to each other though but I use the scatter as my usual 'crusing' weapon since it's quiet fast to the draw so I can stick a few specials on someone or something which ambushed me.
