Thread: Is it just because I'm a novice commando, or do I just have bad weapons?
Greetings. I made novice commando about a week and a half ago, and I have yet to fill any of the skills on the Commando skill tree. Now, from what I understand from Ivoni's post, being a novice commando is worse than being a novice marksman. And with the recent patch, I thought that I could at least easilykill creatures that were rated as "blue". Here's my weapon's stats.
Heavy Acid Rifle - 76-177, 5.5 speed.
Flamethrower - 37-243, 5.2 speed.
Neither of these are sliced, either. Now, tell me, do I just have bad weapons, or am I have difficulty because I'm a novice commando, and that's just how it is? Thank you for your time

Those are pre-patch weapons...basically they suck. That's what we were dealing with before the patch, and that's why we were complaining for so long, and that's why I get angry when people scream nerf
If you want to do the damage everyone has been raving about, then you need new guns. The damage on your flamethrower should be around 400-800 for a post-patch gun. You still might want to get a launcher pistol to work your HW xp though.

Ah, thanks guys, I appreciate your replies. For some reason I had in my mind that when the patch hit, all our current weapons would be upgraded too, so that way we wouldn't have to buy new ones. Too bad that's not possible. Anyway, I'm hoping my weaponsmith will let me do an exchange since there was a patch update. Pre-patch flamethrower for a post-patch flamethrower. Thanks guys for your help!
