I've curious about striker pistols. I've made a few and their stats are completely unremarkable. I'm at a loss to find what their gimmick is, their advantage, compared to other pistols. People still buy them from me though. So, I suppose my question is, what TYPE of damage do striker pistols do?

They do kinetic damage, but their stats are so awful that you'd end up doing more damage with a scout/fwg5 even if the target is armored.

Yeah I mean, when I made my first one, I thought I just did a complete botch job. 4 more later and I was just dumbfounded. Yep, I've had a couple people ask for them by name even, so I thought maybe there was a certain damage type they did. Thanks for the answer.

People think they're supposed to be good because the cert is higher up than the scout blaster - same with SG82 rifle, E11 rifle, etc. I have people asking for them because of the certs, but after I explain how the certification order is random and high-level weapons are mostly crap, they end up buying a scout/DLT20/laser instead.

Indeed. Thank you for clearing my head some. I was almost certain I was missing something apparent. Good to know I still have a shred of my sanity still after all those days of grinding.

perhaps you are not making them correctly. They can do upwards of 150 dmg and 2.0 spd. And they have relatively low HAM.

Try advanced components.

Good point, Akira.

Personally, after making a few once i was able, i never thought about it again. I'll have to try them with the advanced components.

advanced parts are great if your server has the materials for them

starsider just had its first rollover since the game started, and we still can't make half the high level stuff because we don't have the right resources

i surely hope when we do get them that strikers and some of the others are way better

Oh, is there any hope that plumbum iron will ever be better than 34 conductivity? talk about killing a weapon

Regarding the plumbum iron:

highestconductivity that i've seen documented is in the 70's.

guess that's just a characteristic of the class : (

The SG82 is not a bad rifle. Infact some nasties fit the vulnerability on that weapon. So it can outdo a laser or dlt in a number of cases. For my part I always advise the buyer of a striker to get the slice and use attachments. Its a relatively cheap weapon, and doing more damage with it is worth it.

Strikers are actualy quite useful and looted components for them are quite cheap.

You can use High Calibre Pro Pistol Barrels and Fire Spider Fangs. These components are quite cheap and give the weapon a good boost in power.

Primary use of these is for nightsisters.

I'm hitting 81-130 damage 2.0 speed with my Strikers. The theme park loot pistol barrel and any Spider Fang definately help improve them.

I still recommend dropping all pistol skills and grinding out rifleman.
