I have another character who is a ranged prof and hes never had to buy another weapon. On the other hand, my main character who is a TK is on his third set of VKs! Hes not even been playing as long.

Funny... I grinded TKA with the same Vibro Knuckers from Unarmed I toTeras Kasi Master... they have 100/1000 condition now... but I don't care, I don't need VK's anymore as a TKM unless I'm fully buffed. besides, with the money I made I bought myself a 2nd VK that I rarely ever use that's even more faster than my first ones.


So no... VKs don't decay fast.

As I recall, there is a durability component in weapon crafting. Of course, most people dont care too much about durability!


Damage to the weapon is checked perhit I believe. You should find a slow firing weapon will last a lot longer than a very fast weapon like a VK.


Oh, and I still use VKs even at master as my damage sliced VK does maybe 30% more damage than my fists ....

You also have to remember how fast we hit, causing them to decay faster. I have used 4 VKs down to 25% and I am only 0133.

there are a lot of factors that go into weapon decay:


Decay Resist of the metireals used. low decay resist matireals create weapons that decay quicly


Sliced Weapons decay faster than Unsliced weapons


Weapon Powerups cause weapons to decay faster


Character Death causes decay


Rate of Fire or how often you hit with a weapon also affects how long it will last


that all having been said, i bought a crate of VKs expecting to go through them like butter, but have only had to use two sets. the one i went from Unarmed I to TKN and then i switched to a better sliced set because of the overall improvement in performance from Unarmed VI to TKN. i am currently 2/1/2/2

Character Death causes decay


Not for weapons.

Im a 4 2 4 3 TKA and ive used the same VK since i started the grind for UA. I believe my VK is around 670/1000 ish now. I rarely use VK though unless im fully buffed. As a wookiee i can spam the hell out of my specials even unbuffed if i go bare knuckles
