Rifleman Archive

I just bought a new rifle and had it sliced. I think I paid a fair price for it, 2.5M on Chilastra, since Im not looking to pay 5M+ for a rifle right now. Just wanted to kow what people thought. Im Master Rifles btw.

Advanced Laser Rifle

469-1183 Damage (was something like 440 - 1140) 4% Damage Slice
2.69 Speed (was 2.8 Speed) 4% Speed Slice
1 Accuracy Bonus
82 SAC

I ADKed this thing.

My previous rifle was

380 - 1000
2.81 spd
104 SAC
Sliced (Pre-CU)
ADKed

So that new rifle was a big jump for me.

I have seen a rifle for 10M with the following stats:

490-1170 Dmg
2.49 Spd
64 Accuracy Bonus
82 SAC

Unlsiced

Trouble is this baby is blast damage, so its not worth anything at the moment. Also, Im not ready to lay down 10M for a rifle. Though if I had it and it worked, I would get 2% damage on it and 8% speed.

What is your dps

The accuracy for your current weapon should have been much higher, in my personal opinion, especially for that price. Everything else is respectable

Also, ignore DPS. Pay attention to the following stats in this order (again, my opinion):
- Damage
- SAC (quite a few would place this higher in priority, which is quite understandable)
- Accuracy
- Speed
- Damage Type (important for PVP... pay attention to your opponent's armor and their strengths / weakenesses)

Lastly, your "priority" on stats also largely depends on your character's template / Ranged Mods.

Just go get the trando hunting rifle. it's a quest.

speed 2.5, dmg 520-1040 unsliced, sac 95 dps 308 base

I have it, but this rifle is much better.

The speed is a little slow for my taste, but for 2.5mil not bad. A rifle like that would go for more on my servers inflated economy...

okay you'r rifle is very slow but it has good damage and low SAC but i don't know if it's worth 2mil on chilastra evem

Keep in mind, I am Master Rifles with a speed tape so my modified speed is 1.7 with this rifle. Also, being master rifles I have 190 Accuracy. Finding a rifle better than this one, as I said, was expensive. Only better one I saw was that one for 10M. Since your saying this rifle is slow, what would be a good speed for a rifle? And what about Accuracy, what is a good Acc for a rifle?

Get your high damage rifles critical sliced not speed. 1174 max bowcaster i made tonight 10% critical slice on it. And it does work. Just to test it out i killed some pikets lvl 43, I am only lvl54 and did 5k hits with sniper shot. I can modify my speed all i want with mushroom pie, powerups, metacarpal facilitators, doc buffs, and speed tapes. Speed slices on high damage rifles are so worthless.

I say speed all the way! I disagree that speed slice on high damage weapons are worthless. Its actually exactly what you want! A good damage on a max speed rifle is a terrible thing to face in battle! It gives you all the perks of heavy damage with the versatility of speed. With high damage, you can get the most out of your well timed attack bursts. For example, that very brief moment after you KD your target, hit them as fast as you can, CRAM as many hits in as you can get. With high damage and the speed to hit them hard at that most vulnerable of moments, its likely the target wont get up...
