Thread: Berzerker Rifle, 35% slice-Screenshots inside
Looks great except that it has Armor piercing 0. What that means basically is that ifa personhas an Armor Rating of 1 (all personal armor is rated at 1) then any damage done is automatically reduced by 50%. So let's take this example. You deal400 points in a shot to a person wearing a typical 50%resist composite armor suit. First you lose 50% of 400 which takes your damage done down to 200. Then your nice new rifle loses an additional 50% to the regular armor resist bring it down to 100. Not very good.
The opposite is true of the T21 rilfe which has an armor piercing level of 3. For each level of difference in the armor rating you gain an additional 25% of damage. Same example from above. You deal400 points of damage. Your enemy is wearing composite armor with a AR1. Your trusty t21 is AP3. You gain an additional 50% of damage. You hit for 600 points of damage instead of 400. Then you hit his 50%energy resist armor and you're down to 300.
I think there will be a time and a place for the new Berserker rifle but it won't be in PvP combat with guys running around in comp armor.

I just wish weaponsmiths would get some new non-loot or questable schematics for new weapons aswell

Hmmm...as a former Pistoleer, this thing looks like a pre-nerf FWG5, just slower. Not very impressive for the Rifleman stable of weapons.
I was thinking the same thing, but like rifleman need more weapons to smoke everyone's mind with. AP3 at speed cap and AP1 with stun damage at speed cap is plenty I think. The devs need to work on the professions that can't even stand up for more than 12 seconds in PvP instead of making the strongest stronger.
the gun looks badass.
