Iam a weaponsmith and iam wondering if there is even a point to making HEAVY weapons besides FT and RL. Does anyone use the particle beam, light beam or acid gun? And why doesnt anyone use them. 4.6 speed with 3000+ damage...thats gotta be useful no?

the answer is no there not really worth the making



why you ask becous there inacuret and have extreemly high ham cost and cost to much to make and on top of that you only have so many shots and have to kneel to shoot (wich is a dedly postion to be in)



and 4k-5k every 5 sec is not that good



the only one worth makeing at all is the HPBC (havey particel beam canon) and that one istint used that often ithere



and you will proply loos mony on makeing a RL becous they take so much time and recourses to make

Actually there is a point to making these weapons coming hopefully soon...


The LP, FT and the RL are 3 very important weapons for any Commando currently in game...Those are the weapons used most...The HAR, with it's recent "fix" is an ok backup weapon...although I rarely ever find use for mine...Currently I never use the other Consumable weapons unless it's just for testing purposes...

The biggest issue with the other Consumable weapons has always been:



  • The don't work indoors

  • They aren't very accurate and therefore when compared to the cost, the hit/miss ratio is to expensive

  • Using them puts the Commando in a vunerable position

Currently on TC they are testing using our Consumable weapons indoors...if all goes well, you should see a rise in Commandos wanting these weapons so we can perform better in the new Caves (like the Geon Lab)....


So yes, I would suggest crafting them, but don't go overboard just yet...until this patch goes live, they'll remain about as useful as the HAR currently is...

I use rocket launchers like nobodies business. Ya see, the thing is, high heat resistances are pretty common, but you find a lot of stuff withblast vulnerability or at least low blast resistance; so it's how I do the big damage.


It's not really risky for me, though, cause I always use a pet if I'm hunting alone instead of being constantly buffed.
