I'd say to use it in either a geo or an dx-2...

he said he has TWO.

ok my choice would be the DL-44i suppose. Higher damage. I'm not sure you're really better off using that in pvp over a non krayt DX-2 or geo though.

He only has two tissues, those require three tissues.

I would give my opinion but I don't know these pistols well enough myself and I have never had the fortune to obtain a Krayted weapon. I can tell you though that a 0.3 decrease in speed is not worthwhile unless the pistol is naturally fast to being with as it will barely shave a second of the delay time of a special, 30 extra damage is going to make a nice difference after the damage modifier on some of our high end specials.

I can tell you that one of these tissues placed in a scout blaster would give you a nice little grinding pistol but these tissues aren't really up to a PvP standard. A damage powerup however could turn that modest looking scout blaster into a nice spamming gun though, I'm not certain but I think you might be approaching the speed cap with some of our higher end specials with a scout blaster powered by one of those tissues. I hope that helps.

Highest min damage would be the DH17. DL44 will get a little higher max damage but a much bigger spread.

They are all energy AP0, I guess I would make two DH17's and hope one gets a damage slice. Honestly unless you are low in the tree still you wont notice a difference. Might be better to sell or trade them with a BH as they can enhance E11's and Scatter pistols also.

If you want to close the gap between the max/min damage on a pistol your best bet is not a krayt tissue, but a high capacitance blaster power handler which I believe is a rebel theme park reward. Adding a loot barrel to it and a low ham scope will make for a much higher minimum damage pistol. I would suggest finding a few of those blaster power handlers and have 2 scout blasters made with them and 2 made with the tissues and test them out. I prefer the higher minimum damage myself and use the handlers before the tissue on everything I make for myself and my alts.

Dx2's actually require FOUR.

Actually they require 5.

Geo, DX2: 5
Republic, Modified Republic, DE-10: 3
Launcher, Striker, Tangle, FWG: Can't take krayt, but can use feeder enhancements
Scatter and all other pistols: 1

What is the actual difference between a DL44 and a DL44 metal?

Thanks for the input guy

Scout does have low ham. I am not sure what your play style is, if you are low level pistoleer or master, play for PvE or PvP. I'm assuming you are low level and pve in which case either the DH17 or Scout would be a fine choice. DH17 will have the higher minimum damage you were after.

DL44 Metal is supposed to be an upgraded version but on most servers its quality is lower because it requires resources that are typically lower in quality. Back in the day (8 or 9 months ago) I made 2 krayt DH17's called ren and stimpy and a krayt DL44 named Solo. They hang on my wall now.

I'm TKM, Master Pistoleer and Master Smuggler.

I want to use these guns when I fight unarmored players (thus wooks and guildies lol)
