Thread: Probably old, but what about the Tusken king rifle? It clearly states Kinetic as damage type

Why don't they make a rare (maybe not as much as "exceptional" weapons, but rare nonetheless) schematic drop that gives us a really sucky AP1 or AP0, slow firing kinetic weapon? I dunno, something like 10 speed, 50-150 damage.
I don't care about going around "pwning" with my kinetic rifle, but it really is ridiculous to just sit there twiddling my thumbs when my group and I are fighting something with all but kinetic resists. Everybody should be able to at least do SOMETHING.
Just make the kinetic rifles really really lame.
I mean, there's no other way to balance than to just not allow everyone access to all different types of damage? Smells like lazy development to me..."Ummm...sorry...it would be too unbalanced"
I don't buy it, sorry.

"the DX2 pistol is the best pistol that the pistoleers have it is AP1 and Acid yet somehow the carbineer and commando is not obsolete. the pistoleers also have the striker pistol which is a kinetic weapon but it doesnt appear to be making TKM useless."
Just as an FYI, I can out-damage the HAR (at master commando no less) with only thedefense line of pistoleer. The HAR is really, really, really crappy. The long delay, high HAM, poor accuracy, and low damage all combine to make it worthless on all but 100% heat resistant critters for commandos (and even then, it's much more effective to use a pistol than a Heavy Acid Rifle, go figure.) So in that regards, the DX2 does make the commando HAR line obsolete; however, that reflects upon poor structuring of the commando profession and lack of improvements/fixes to the line than anything else. If it worked right you would be right though.
I'll second this post.

I'm a TKM now, but I'm considering making a Rifleman alt. I'm just curious (and maybe I missed something), but why would you guys even be interested in a rifle that does kinetic damage? Over on the TK boards we consider kinetic more of a liability than anything else. Not a flame or anything, just curious.

I have to ask, though...have any of you ever actually tried to use the Pistoleer's kinetic pistol? If they gave the riflemen a rifle equivelent to our pistols the riflemen would be crying about it being so low-end.
Just a thought, not a flame.

Possibly, but at this point, highly doubtful I'd say. Many just want the chance to do SOME damage to those NSs with 100% resist to all our damage types. And those who can be VERY patient will always have Concealshot...
