Thread: Razor Knuckles: Are We Really getting a New Type of Weapon? dont think so
We have them on TC now. They are real.
as you have stated, getting the motors is the hard part. this will help to keep them both rare and valuable.

You only need one for the VKs. You need two identical for the Pike NS Energy Lance schematic. If the two you split are identical, and you manage to get your hands on more, you may wish to contact a pike user about those two you have as they likely will pay a decent sum of money for 2 identical ones.
As for the schematic, this is going to be much harder to obtain now. They have just recently upped the resistances of all the mobs in the DW Bunker, and it is now being reported to be extremely difficult down there. However, the one piece of good news, is that most of the kinetic resists are around 50 or 60% with only the toughest mobs having 85% kinetic resists. And kinetic is amoung the "weaker resists" on these mobs. So, while it is now insanely hard, its more tka/general melee friendly than the corvette was. ![]()

One motor per RK as we have come to know these wonderful new toys... an identical group can be used to make a schematic... if you sacrifice the one motor for it.
If you do not wish to sacrifice it you will need a separate looted schematic for each RK to be made, and the Devs just seriously reduced the drop rate and SERIOUSLY increased the mob resists.
Just getting the schematic for the Razor Knucklers is hard now due to the new stats on all the mobs... here is an idea of what they did to the Super Battle Droids...
Think Corvette... now up them to AR3, increase the HAMs by 110k, double most resists and give them a respawn like the Geneosian Cave. Now have to deal with up to 5 of these bad boys at one time. This place and the mobs within are now obscenely difficult.

So think about it, you need to go in with a group, at the right time when she is spawned, then compete with other groups who are fighting her for the loot, then to fight for the loot amongst yourselves is rough lolol.

i didn't read the rest of the replys, or even your entire post, but i don't think it's a huge deal. i was in the nightsister place awhile ago, and YES someone was soloing Axkva ... they were using conceal shot and shooting past the 6 protectors. by the time she died she didn't even know it. he then burst ran in, grabbed the loot, and got out unscathed. any master rifleman (and god knows there's alot of those) can do this.
thats pretty impressive to hear, ive had/seen people try the same thing with bad results. good to know that it could work if we try again.
Also again the point of the title was me being a ass, i know we are getting them for sure, im just saying that not everyone will own one anytime soon, possibly ever, which could be god or bad. I Truly hope they start dropping off elders and such t at least give most tka's a chance to have other damage than kinetic

Axkva is very soloable. I'm killed her about 12 times, only half the time with a friend along (usually a TKM/Doc so that I don't have to tank and do damage).
I've looted 2 sets of motors off her (a lot of 11: 59 min, 57 max, and a lot of 9: 25 min, 30 max) and the NS energy lance schematic twice. These vks won't be that rare.

I am already hitting dath regularly now, hoping for a drop. Hopefully I will get it before the publish hits, when everybody and thier brother will be there too. Ironically, the Elders have high kenetic resists, which is what the razor will help me against, lol
Word is the razor is heat damage and elders/axkva are 100% verse heat.

Conceal shot is a boring way to do it
I prefer to intimidate her then run around like an idiot spamming strafe2, while switching to my gaffi (for the one-hand toughness mod) when I get in trouble. Back when warcry2 worked, she was a complete joke. Intimidate 2, warcry2 with the gaffi equipped then slaughter her with strafe2.
The only difference now is that without warcry2, I have to do some more running. As for those protectors, its pretty easy to get Axkva by herself.
