Thread: OK, Im completely lost on the rifle speed modifier thingy Ma bob? Please help!
Ok so I now have a +40 rifle speed. What does this do exactly? I know it is supposed to make me "Faster" with a rifle, but how does it work or how does it figure? Im so lost again....
Thanks for your help
Theyre not ruffled, J.
I should be more forgiving. There are SO MANY forums and SO MANY posts that one could spend their entire day just trying to keep up! (Gee, I wonder how I know that? - LOL). Just look at the thread I started today .... "Can someone explain TEFs to an Idiot?". I didn't even attempt to look back and find the answer first, so sorry I snapped at ya! Good Hunting!
Okay, this is about the UMPTEENTH time I've posted this, and I know it wont be the last, so here goes. The following information was originally posted by Flyojumper. (Haven't seen him respond lately? Does anyone know if he is still involved with the game?)
+x speed mod gives a (100-x)% attack speed of the base speed of the weapon.
At +50 speed mod, your cdef with 4.0 speed will auto attack at 2.0 second intervals. [ (100-50)% of 4.0 ]
At +75 speed mod, your cdef with 4.0speed will auto attack at 1.0 second intervals. [ (100-75)% of 4.0 ]
(100-75) = 25% of the original attack speed.
Because of the hard cap at 1s per attack, over +75 mod will be wasted on a 4.0s weapon.
BTW.... this REALLY helps on the Slow but Powerful weapons like the T21.
I have a pre-nerf T21 that was 9.6 secs that was sliced down to 7.7 secs (approx).
I am almost to +65 rifle speed (master marksman + some rifleman).
This means I will soon be able to fire my T21 at (100-65)% of 7.7, or every 2.7 seconds.
Notice the BIG JUMP from where I am now (+55). (100-55)% x 7.7 = 3.4 secs.
This also means I will be able to fire my 4.6 Laser Rifle (100-65)% x 4.6= every 1.6 seconds!
Thanks for the plug WayneInAustin. ![]()
Yeah I'm still around and playing, and posting here and there, just a little bit less on the boards than I was before.
Got a harder question...
Let's say I have a 10s T-21 and am master rifleman so +90 rifle speed
that is (100%-90%)*10s for a 1 second attack speed for auto fire
let's saystrafe2 has a 3x delay that is (100%-90%)*30s for 3 second attack right?
master rifleman/marksman has +95 rifle speed
sooo (100%-95%)*10s for 0.5 second but capped at 1 second
and strafe2 for (100%-95%)*30s for 1.5 second? is that right?
Any master rifleman/marksman checked this out?
