Rifleman Archive

as riflemen we have gotten some love (move to ar3) then nerfed (damaged lowered). now we have seen that heavy weapons have moved up greatly in power. the t21 should be one of the most powerful weapons in the game (and it is good right now). but there is one real problem with it and with rifles in general, damage type. almost all mobs has some high resistances to energy, this means that our damage drops a great deal in pve. how do you fix this without making the rifleman overpowered in pvp?

the answer is simple, you change the damage type on the t21 from energy to heat? mobs have a much lower resistance to heat then energy but in pvp it wont really make a differance on the damage that we do. also rifles have a very low overall group of damage types in their rifles. this would also move the t21 away from the laser rifle, leading some more sells for weaponsmiths.
