If you know, thenplease, enlighten me, because I'm utterly confused as towhy they would give us a clone of the RB that's twice as slow, does less damage, and has terrible accuracy... if it's going to look like it does (just like a DesertEagle)and be called the DE-10 (again, quite obviously referring to theDesert Eagle), then why is it ten times worse than a deagle? K'mon! It's painful when they give us leet-looking guns and give them crap stats! We need to make them fully aware of our stance on this!

/agreed

Although we dont know what the kind of resources went into the one reported DE on test center, so the stats possibly could be better. Still, I dont see any reason why they cant give this weapons AP2. It would actually make it useful and would be in no way unbalancing.

Looks more like a really old smith & wesson than it does a Deagle to me, but that's not what's in argument here... Hopefully the pistol picture posted here on the boards was made with **edit**ty rescources, and can be capible of a higher damage output to match it's description.

Yes, well, even if it does get better, do you expect it to end up at double the damage of an RB? It's shooting at half the speed, so logically damage output should be twice as much for them to even be equal, and a good RB is around 300, and I doubt we're getting a 600 damage pistol. I strongly agree that the cold damage, AP2, high damage, low speed makes the most sense and would provide the diversity we need. We already have plenty of AP1, energy pistols, so they should either change it to the previously stated description or give it to BHs in exchange for the scatter pistol -_-

cold damage, AP2, high damage, and low speed would be perfect, pistoleers need a wepond like that pretty badly.

I had a strange thought.

Why give us a crap new gun that nobody will use? I then thought that maybe this gun could be the only one we will be able to dual wield. The pathetic performance could be the devs way of balancing the bonuses dual wielding could bring, and it's six-shooter appearance fits the dual wielding "two guns a-blazin" image.

I don't really know, probably just lame new content. It wouldn't be the first time.

We must have lost the memo at the same time we realized not every person in the game has 5-10mil for a quality crafted genosian blaster...

Thanks, Shazeen. Can somebody link me a thread with all of the new stats? Because there is a "-" in the name, a search for "DE-10" is impossible. It doesn't sound like this weapon is very useful for us. I'd like to have all of the information before taking it to the developers. Even so, I am doubtful we will get it changed.

Thats the most complete information Ive been able to find, which isnt much. Im hoping more people will play around with these on test center so we can get a better idea of what we're dealing with here.

On a sidenote, I was playing around with potential stats (a dangerous hobby, to be sure), and if this weapon wasnt sliced, a decent damage slice and a min damage/ speed powerup could get the stats to about 180-280 @ 2.9. Im not sure if this could be krayt'ed, but it could make for a big gun in the arsenal. It would still be slow as hell though with our slower specials. I dont know, something to think about.
