Hi fellow weapon smiths, I've just crafted some beserker rifles in the chimaere galaxie, and wondered how they compared to your crafting attempts. Mine came out:

Berserker Rifle 156-322 dmg 4.5 speed
Condition: 896/896
Wound Chance: 53.2%
Range Mod: -20 @ 0m, +62 @ 25m, -80 @ 64m
HAM: 12/26/41

This is using 12 exp. points, spider fangs, form-fitted stocks, high caliber proj. rifle barels, and a normal scope (exp. to 1/1/1 ham and +12 to ideal range). Fully experimented on dmg, 2 points in range and 2 points in HAM

Ps, while AP0 is indeed a downer on this rifle, the heat damage, good accuracy, very nice sound&graphics and low HAM costs for specials do make it a usefull and fun rifle to carry arround.

So how did your first Beserker rifles come out?

That's one hell of a rifle. I'll be building my first Disruptor in a few days (once I get some cubes that someone offered to my vendor). I'm a ten point WS so I expect my stats to be like the first person who replied. I'd like to get my hands on some more of those nice loot components you guys used, and some spider fangs.

tbh i think we got a bit shafted when it comes to the AP0, i can't for the life of me sell these guns for a half decent price, auction had 0 replies, and every (well funded) rifleman i know loose intrestwhen they hear it lacks any armor piercing..

Come to think of it, i don't know of any creatures of npc's either that have no armor rating, and are heat vunerable (well maybe roba's on endor?) that would warrent the use of such a rifle, that requires such rare loot components.

Owell untill some customer intrest exists, they will look pretty on the wall of my shop :-)

Condition: 1025
Speed: 4.9
Damage: 153-307
Wound: 51.7%
Range: +61
Ham: 16/30/47

And no spider fangs used... have to get some of thoughts for my next one.

The one I made so far was:

172-330 (5.4) w57.0
Condition 1101/1101
-20 @ 0m +62 @ 25m -80 @64m
41/55/71

I got oone made today it some where unslice at 5.5 min 161 max 311, nothing special. Im getting more made wtih FF stock and spider fangs but I need the fanges first. HOw many identical do you need for it? The Berzerker Rifle where out REALLY FAST though. I shot 20 shot with it and it fell 10 condition points. It look really cool though.
