Thread: Why Buying a new Rifle?
Hello, I'm a novice Rifleman (bloodfin server).
I was wondering why i have to change my trustworty DTL20 Rifle (110ish-180ish @ 5.6) with something better, like an EE Rifle.
I have searched in my server's weapon shops, but i've never seen anything with better stats than my rifle.
So, should i remain with my DTL20, or better rifles have some "hidden" stat that made them better even with lower "visible" stats?
Stats might not be better but the Armor rating is which makesup for the lower damaga stats - unless the laser/E11 ismade withvery bad materials.
I stole this from the VN boards on AR.
the way the AR system works is it is times 25% for every level above and reduced 50% for every level below
so an AR2 weapon on player armor (always AR1) will have a default 25% bonus before the armor resists are applied. if the armor is vulnerable to the AR2 weapon then it is treated as AR0 and you would get a 56% bonus
( 125% x 125% = 156% )
the best you could possibly have is an AR3 weapon on AR0 for 195% normal damage
the worst would be an AR0 weapon on AR3 for 12% damage
The E11 is an AR2 weapon, so you're looking at least a 25% damage. It's been a long night and it's early, so I can't go through the math right now....but that E11 will do more damage than it looks like.
sorry about that i just learned how to post lol (pooooooop)
