Thread: Whats with the new rifles?
The 'Berserker' rifle has a nice look to it, but you may find its usefulness to be 'somewhat limited'. It does do Heat damage which is a plus, but lacks any sort of AP
To get this one, you will need to go through the brand new Corellian Corvette several times (for schematic and parts). Take many tough friends

ah. as you see by my tag, which is still up to date, at least until i can find a teacher, i wouldn't be able to handle some of those... i might try the genosian thing. see my next post for my next question.
Sorry, missed the tag
Feel free to ask whatever you please- I'll do my best
Unfortunately, because they are so difficult to acquire, the new rifles are very expensive. On Eclipse the DXR-6b rifles go for around 200K un-sliced, sometimes more. However, they are a very nice addition to the Rifleman's (and Riflewoman's) backpack. I have come across many a MOB with high resists to energy, but vulnerable to Acid. Plus they are very high accuracy. I have one that is like +87 accuracy at ideal range.
As a struggling rifleman, you will want to slowly acquire a variety of rifles. Even the much-maligned SG82 (Cold damage) has a place in my arsenal. Don't rush out for that one, but eventually as you progress you should pick up any rifle that does a "different" kind of damage.
And to further elaborate... The higher accuracy is nice inat least two respects. Obviously, you're going to hit your target more frequently, but if I understand it right, it alsomeans you have a better chance of landing that Dizzy or that Stun (or any special effect) on your target. This may be a big help in PvP from what I understand. (Can't prove it cuz I don't PvP much right now).
By the way Jerele... excellent accuracy! Did you get to choose it, or did you just get lucky?

Yub yub. Your weapon's accuracy mod, in addition to your own accuracy, is all that you have to get through your opponents defenses. So if they have both high ranged defense AND high Dodge or Counterattack or Block(haha) then it can be quite tough to land a hit. That was before they capped it all though.
The accuracy also drops the +0 range..
Like on a laser rifle that is +50 @ 60m.. the +0 will be about 45m..
My disruptor rifle is +116 @ 54m which makes my +0 mark 28m. At 50m I can be running and the target also running and still be in the positive range at about +3-10..

Well the Unsliced was 6.0 max 353 953/953 conditoin +118 @ ideal. Those were the only ones he carried. Pretty nice, I love it, too bad I got a 20% speed slice on it. With a max pup, it 470 and do 2500 damage wth HS#
Jerele, you should be glad to have that condition on your weapon. Most of the ones I could find for sale had condition barely above 700. The damage is good (mymain one got a 27% damage slice and is 464 without powerup), but both the condition and the accuracy sukk. So I carry a second one with high speed (3.3) and high accuracy (87%, not like yours unfortunately) just for landing the special effects.
Nobody told me I actually had to THINK about what I was doing when I started rifle lo those many moons ago!
