Thread: flame and li think ;auncher question
OKay here is the skinny of Commando exp. Flamerthrower, Heavy Acid Rifle and Launcher Pistol will give you Heavy weapon exp, all Commando trees except for Field Tactis (Thats Combat Exp)requires Hvy weapon exp.
The Flamethrower specials are only good when you hit Flame 3 as before hand you will miss alot and the down time is a killer.
The Heavy Acid Rilfe also known as the HAR is at this time not worth the creds it is better than it use to be with the stacking of skill mods but still not as good as the Flamethrower.
The Launcher Pistol is good but not as good as the Flamethrower and is explosion effects will make it hard for you to see unless you reduce partical effects.
So what you use to exp with is the Flamethrower as it is a superior weapon, if you find you are not doing any dmg due to heat resists try a flame special and switch to the Launcher pistol or a HAR if someone gives you one.
Have fun and enjoy.
HARs cant hit the side of a barndoor and the specials are a special joke. Damage output to small, speed to slow and no dots.
I prefer putting a heat dot on high resistent creatures and finish it with a launcher pistol with some warning shots / supression and bleed shots ofcourse.
It all depends of what you are hunting. To level up to master you only need to kill 10k mobs which are about 2900 exp pr. kill and you can take them out in 2 Flame single one's on a average.
