Honestly...the HAR...just sucks. For the only acid weapon in the game without AP, it just isn't worth it. Granted, it can be useful in some rare cases...so in accordance with our other weapons, Id say speed.


For the LP, its more worthwhile than the HAR as often times you can do more DPS with it verse blast-vuln targets than with our LP, get a very fast one to compensate for lack of pistoleer skills.

Acid rifles do mostly suck... whenever I fight I always use an FT, but I carry my HAR around sometimes because I think it looks cool

Hey all, I'm new to commando and on the hunt for some weapons - I was just wondering, what are the stats of a decent, non sliced acid rifle? And with a slice, what should I look for..damage or speed?

Secondly, with the LP's - are they really worth it? I don't intend to get pistoleer as I'd rather put my SP into medic and so I'm not sure whether to splash out on one...hmm

What do you think?

Thanks

I keep a HAR only as a symbol of my sad devotion to this ancient profession.
I mean, generally speaking, the HAR is utter crap. It's a waste of the materials used to build it.


The LP I keep because it makes for a damned good sidearm. It's pretty funny to see a half dozen mini-rockets blowing up whatever stands in your path, and if all else fails, you can lag your opponent to death!

I disagree with all the above...I'm a master commando. I have a HAR 3.8 speed 755 max dmg. I use it on Tat. with the sand imp storm trooped imune to heat. I've used my LP to take down a AT-ST just 2 days ago got a love that blaster when your out of grenades..lol... good luck fellow commandos.

I use my HAR quite a lot, mostly against 100% heat res. targets but also for fun. Also, I think the HAR looks real cool and it´s far faster than the flamer. Without AP and DOT it really does suck generally but I like it too much to ditch it. Besides, I believe I have a pretty good specimen with a speed around 3.0 and a max dam around 900. Also, the LP bogs down my comp too much for me to use it much...

The word "Decent" and any description of the "Heavy Acid Rifle" don't belong in the same sentence!
