Rifleman Archive

i'm not a rifleman, i'm a pistoleer.

no, i'm not here to complain about anyone being overpowered or underpowered or anything.

i recently looted what you might call the crappiest uberloot possible, apoisonous cdef rifle. being a pistoleer, i was barely qualified to use it at all, but figured i'd give it a try. the results i ended up with were the strangest occurrance i've seen in the game yet.

when using this rifle, i dealt almost no damage (understandable because of terrible aim, damage), but also took none. in this example, i fought the closest thing to me, a foaming vynock. only about 1 out of4 attempts actually hit me. i was regenerating my health faster than it could hurt me.

then i pulled out my prenerf fwg5 and every attack hit me until i killed it.

is this rifle a fluke with some hidden stats that are causing this? is this common?

i haven't tested it with other enemies, but if things work like this, uberloot cdefscould be the best tanking weapon in the game...

POKEY THE PENGUIN SIG REMOVED BY GARVA BECAUSE "Just because you are crafty enough to get around the technicality of it being a .jpg or .gif does not mean it is not an image, it is not ascii art, it is an image" SO HERE IS MY NEW SIG.
HUGE UGLY SIG

CM's are like nukes. You have them just incase you need them, but as soon as you start using yours the other guys start using theirs and everything goes to hell-PyschoticChipmunk -The First line of the Riflenomican.
