Anyone else notice a significantly increased decay rate when using specials since patch 10.2? I burned through a brand new T-21 in 3 hours...NEVER had that happen with any weapon before even when spamming specials....

Anyone else having this issue? Let me know so I can report it if so. Need starting condition and how long it took to burn it out. Thanx.
Thread is going to be stickied for now. Will take it down once more data is received.

I thought my weapons were burning up a bit fast. I'll give the stats next time I grind.

Waste,
Thanks much. I bought 2 rifles from the same vendor. One lasted me about 2-3 weeks. Second lasted one 3 hour play session with very similar playstyles for both. Origininal condition was just under 1000. I used alot of specials on both rifles.On the second rifle, I was also using a min/max power-up (that fact and publish 10.2 are the only differences I can see).

I got a brand new VK to grind TK with, after grinding one tree the condition is 537/962 - it does seem a little too fast.

Yeah, powerup will grind through a weapon. Melee weapons seem to go esepically fast with powerups attached.

One other thing I will need to know when giving info. When did you purchase the weapon?

I have two T21's both for grinding and have had them for 2+ months with very occasional use, however I have been using them daily in the past week. I looked into this issue today, my first T21 went through 200 condition points in a little under an hour and half and my second one did down around 120 condition points- both with powerups, noticably faster than usual and I have been using powerups on both of them regularily. I also tested an old DXR6b and in an hour it went down 70 points without a powerup which is also noticably faster. Before yesterday's patch, normally my T21 would lose maybe 50-70 condition points in an hour with a powerup.
My powerhammer also went right down this morning after grinding the squill cave, I never use powerups on melee weapons and my powerhammer decayed rather fast it was 936/1039 and is now 691/1039.

Both of those rifles I mentioned were purchased pre-patch 10.

I notcied my swords / powerhammer going quick, spamming specials and using powerups. I didnt check the numbers though so cant give a rough number.
I started working on rifleman today and during the 70k grind to IV, my Spraystick and Laser rifle lost a combined total of like 350ish condition, with using powerups and specials.

Uhhh, I noticed Pre-Pub10 that if I used powerups, a brand new T21 would not survive the day. Powerups chew your guns up, many times for 1 point of condition per shot. Been like that since before pub10.
