Thread: high max dam weopons
I was wondering if any one has made an ee3 with like 1003 max dam a weopon smith said he could make one for me and I was wondering if anyone else has made them that good. he said it did have a pwr up
thanks
That's not even close to being possible without some kind of major exploit.
If something has1000 max damage with a 32% powerup and 35% damage slice, that means it has 757 max damage without the powerup and 561 max unsliced. The laser rifle has the highest max damage of all weapons, and it won't get 561 max unless you have +150 krayt tissues.
Well the reason I asked he was selling fwg5s with max 312 wich isnt bad since the one I have is at 308 so i figured that was possible. So I figured the rest would be possible he is selling me a scatter for 380 max probly with a pwr up also. he said he would give it to me on friday so I will see what happens then. he acctually gave me a higher max for the ee3 than he did a laser the laser he said would be around 970. That is great if he can make it.
Any smith selling his weapons quoting stats AFTER a powerup is a fraud. Takes a lot of insecurity to feel asif your guns dont merit sales on their stats alone. Heck I dont even slice or get sliced my weapons made without the enhancers and they still sell like hot cakes. My current best non-krayt FWG5 is 64-212/1.7 .. after a good 30% damage slice thats like 83-275/1.7 but theres no way to guarantee 30% slices, or for that matter a damage slice. Adding a 32% powerup will get you to 363 max damage but thats for all of 100 shots.
There was a smuggler on Chilastra that got flamed pretty hard. He was garanteeing 60-70% slices on his weapons and charging 8k. He was actually sticking powerups on them afterwards. Total phoney
If you think your gun decays fast sliced, try keeping powerups on them constantly. You'll need a new weapon every few days.
Any smith focusing on powerup stats by themselves is pulling a used car tactic or two on the buyer.
