I am a master pistoleer with a ws alt, and have made about 10 de-10s (4 for myself). Of those, 6 were made with yellow barrels. The difference with all 6 of those barrels was the wound % being roughly 15 to 20% higher. My question is, has anyone seen a yellow barrel with a different affect or is this the one and only thing a yellow barrel does? By the way, with a yellow barrel and my special scopes, I was able to get a DE-10 with a wound percentage of 58.2%

All I know is that some time ago the Devs announced that items with some sort of above standard attribute would be highligted in yellow. So based on that statement the yellow barrels are better What exactly makes them better I don't think anyone knows.

I think that is what Mik is trying to point out. All of the ones he has made have higher wound percentage. I would like to know if there is another possible mod on them also. If there isn't, it won't bother me so much to have one made without a yellow barrel.

Yellow barrels are better than White, but we aren't sure in what way. There has been data to support higher damage.

havent had the time to post much lately because i took up a full time job recently, i made a huge fuss about this when teh DWB went live, and have had about nearly 15 DE-10's made and i can tell you as a hard fact from my own testing, that yellow barrels can affect min damage, max damage, wound % and range mods. I havent bothered checking the hams being different, because it wasnt of particular concern to me and different types of enhancements were used on differnt guns.
Im gonna necro my old de-10 posts and try to compile the data. Ive been so damn busy lately i just never had the chance, and for that i apologize.

Okay the base stats on my DE-10 with awhite barrel is 4.1 142-265.
Today I made 4 DE-10s with 89 damage tissues and a yellow barrel for each. This is how the guns came out:
- 3.3 speed, 146-372 damage, 32.5 wound, +19 range
- 3.3 speed, 145-400 damage, 35.5 wound, +29 range
- 3.3 speed, 135-366 damage, 36.9 wound, +28 range
- 3.3 speed, 145-368 damage, 39.1 wound, +27 range
With krayt tissue of 89 you would expect the outcome to be 142-354 but the max damage was above that every time.. ranging from 12-46 damage points higher. The 135 min damage on number 3 is a little wierd... also number 1 is only +19 range which is funny.
This is my experience with the yellow barrels. I have heard of extra range and wound but it looks like these were all higher damage. I should have used scopes also... but I didnt.
I will post more if I make more with yellow barrels and see how they change.

that is a good comparison actually and does indicate the varyingness of the barrels.
ive got a yellow before that gave me +101 to ideal range when used with a +38 scope
conclusion...yellow barrels should be used with higher damage tissues and use base krayt handlers with white barrels?

Made two more today one with yellow barrel one without. Here are stats after using +71 tissue.
- 3.8 speed,142-337 damage, 37.2 wound, +37 ideal range
- 3.8 speed, 146-349 damage, 49.9 wound, +49 ideal range
The second one used a yellow barrel and it looks like it added to more than one stat. So maybe yellow cubes add to more than one stat.

I crafted 2 DE-10s yesterday. 1 with a white barrel, 1 with a yellow barrel.
Both came out the same (with the same tissues).
I know it's an age old discussion, but I am not so sure 1 barrel is any different than the other based on my experience. Neither have stats on them when you examine them.

Good test...but there's still one more test that needs to be done. Craft 4 DE-10's with white barrels and see if they all come out the same or drastically different too. I'm not discounting your experience....but I looted 5 Krayt tissues yesterday from a Juvinile Canyon Krayt, they were all +55 damage and - 0.540 speed (Same serial numbers).....one had Yellow words, the other 4 had white words.
