Thread: acid rifel flame thrower or boazooka
depends on what you want to do
the Heavy Weapon suppot tree has only charged weapons ... this weapons have of course high damage
acid rifle sux
Flamethrower .... right now the one and only worthwhile weapon
May not be why others think the HAR sucks but this is why i hate it:
good things i know of:Few creatrues and NPCs have acid resistance compared to heat
bad things: less DMG than FT (still good DMG) and it last as long as a weapon with 106 condition would do to how fast it deteroates.
Don't forget the lack of DOT on the HAR. This makes the flamethrower better in almost every situation (and considering dot ignores heat reistance on mobs, it could be the best weapon of the two in ANY situation). Crank up the armor piercing on the har to 1, fix the dot reistances, and then the HAR could actually be useful.
As for the RL.... 100k for 30 shots or something is not exactly my idea of cost effectiveness. I'm sure later the prices will drop, but last time I checked (granted that was like 2 or so weeks back), somebody was auctioning off one for 100k.
