So, 2 friends and I did the Imperial Theme park last night. I'm the only WS of us, so I netted 8 precision weapon scopes and 4 form-fitted stocks. The stocks are great (MINUS speed on a stock? hell yes), but the scopes seem kind of...ehh. 25 ideal rng. and 20 wound for 25/25/20 HAMs (or something close to that)? I have a feeling a player could make something better. Are these scopes worthless?

Yes.

Any player made adv scope made with decent oq materials will wipe the floor with these. The HAM costs on those scopes is ridiculously high and wound is worthless.

Yeah, pretty much useless. You could do a scoped/barreled pistol, would help the wound chance, but Wound Chance being just dumb, it's kinda pointless.

Not completely worthless, if you talk to a creative WS, there is a use for this

omg! These are not worthless... there is a new gun that without this component, IT is worthless, and i keep seeing weaponsmiths making the same mistakes, over and over.

Oh I love how helpful the smiths on this board are.....yes be as criptic as you can and dont help anyone, thats the way.


I mean if you are gonna try and hint that you know a secret to impress others, take it to another board, this is the WS forum were we help each other out.

Every single stat in the precision tuned scope is worse than a player made advanced scope except for wound. I have made +43 ideal Advanced (12 point smith with an amazing at the end) and only 17 HAM. I would never put a precision tuned scope on anything.

I know, and I feel the same way, I just hate the practice of crafters thinking that keeping anything secret is a good practice. The reason I play this game is for player interaction, and I enjoy helping newer smiths in any way possible. This is the WS forums, if you are going to hoarde any type of information then dont post here, that was my only point.

No secrets hereand its not rocket science... the only stat that can't be matched by player crafted scopes is the wound stat. Sooo, if you want to get creative with some of the ranged weapons on that particular stat, use the precision tuned scopes. No deep dark secrets here...

The only gun I could see wound chance being helpful on is the Geo Pistol. Stun Armor isn't readily available to everyone, so if you up the wound chance on Geos, every shot *could* wound. Shrug, I made some 75% wound chance Geos, haven't tested them yet.
