Thread: Problem with Trandoshan Hunting Rifle
How exactly do you get the schematic for the trando hunting rifle?
I got the quest one, sliced puped etc.. it really rocks
as a Mrifleman/MBH I'm over 600 dps before pup (slapped a 32% speed pup on there and had 932 dps... that was a blast)
Are the schematic ones really better than the base 308 quest rifle?

i have gotten the schemetic from a lootbox on the Avatar Platform, and seen the barrels needed to make them also drop there
with the right crafter and componets, you can get a much improved version of the quest reward, like sac capped and damaged capped
The schematic is infinate use, so once a weaponsmith has learned it, he'll know it forever. All you need to do after that is just keep getting more Trando Rifle Barrels. There's enough good weaponsmiths on most servers now that have already learned the schematic so that you really only have to look for a barrel, and then you should be good to go in finding someone to craft you a Trando Rifle.

It's a known issue and going to be fixed, albeit it will be phased in
1st phase newly looted components will be fixed
2nd phase old looted components will be fixed
3rd phase bugged weapons fixed
They are doing this in phases becuase they want to be extremely careful.
If they screw this up, ALL weapons will be fubar. so it is best to be patient, and let them get it right the first time.
Hang on to your rifle though!
Your reference to 1st, 2nd and 3rd phase changes....is that listed somewhere officially or is that just your take on the situation? I have some very nice scopes I am sitting on waiting to craft a weapon but I don't want to do anything drastic till I know if/when they will be fixed.
The crafted trando schem and barrel can be had on the Avatar. You really need to only worry about the barrel. Once a weaponsmith learns the trando hunting rifle schem then they know it......and can make as many as they want provided they have a barrel for each one. The last two nights I have run the Avatar with a group....first night we ended up looting 2 barrels, which was very good. Last night no barrels, which is more typical. It is real hit and miss so they are not normally easy to come by.
Here is a screenshot of my crafted trando hunting rifle SAC capped and damage capped. Plus a 17 on acc. We purposely went for high min damage so using damage pups would give me the most bang. This rifle works for me at 1,359 max damage when damage pup equipped.
My 82 SAC capped and damage capped crafted trando hunting rifle
Most people would be happy with that I am sure, lol, but not me. I have some of the new power cells at +181 damage and a -8 on SAC cost. I am wanting to make another trando hunting rifle using those plus incorporating some very nice scopes I looted with an accuracy bonus of 64. Once the scope bug is fixed I plan to have this made up and it should be one of the best rifles on my server....82 SAC cap, 1,184 damage cap, 64 accuracy bonus, plus the speed should get around 2.45 (my weaponsmith should have at least 2 extra points to put into speed...the rifle will cap damage faster starting with 181 tissues/cells plus the -8 SAC cost will mean at least 1 less point needed to experiment the SAC down to 82.
Any official word on when the pre-patch bugged scopes will be "adjusted" or fixed so they don't bork the weapon to blast damage?
