Again, thanks.

I take it that you are thinking that maybe your laser is worth alot of money?

My laser rifles on Radiant....
min 98
max 688
that is sliced with a pup
sell for 20K

and anyone that would pay millions for a weapon is a fool, and a fool and their credits are soon parted, weapons burn up way to fast to worth that kind of expense.

And...the DX2 is a pistol. For a pistol, those stats are godly, and that's why it went for 2M cr.

More good info, again, thanks.

No, I didn't actually think my laser was worth a lot. I was wondering why the DX went for so much.

But seeing as it is a pistol of near godly stats, I see why it went for that.

The more I find out, the more I find I don't know. Thanks for the help.

Standard DX2 is something like 105-163 2.4, so that one must have had a 34% damage slice with +100 dmg -.8 speed krayt tissues.


2 milisquitecheap for something that uses that many krayt tissues of that quality, so I suspect it may have been a product of the multi-slice exploit unless krayt tissues are REALLY cheap on Bria.

I admit I'm still a newbie. A recent auction on a trade forum sold this for about 2 mil.
--------------------------------------------------------
DX2 351 MAX No Powerup
Vast DX2 ZEF DragonSlayer (This Weapon has been Sliced)
877/902
Speed: 1.4
Min: 141 (163 w/ pup)
Max: 351 (463 w/ pup)
Wound: 26.1%
---------------------------------------------------------



I just made a laser rifle with stats of about:
(I'm at work and don't have the exact stats but the max is correct.)
-------------------------------
condition in the 900s.
Speed: 3.x??
Min: 44 (58 w/ pup)
Max: 392 (519 w/ pup)
Wound: 30 something
-------------------------------

What benefits of the DX2 compared to the laser rifle?

I know that speed is a lot of it and the lower Min of the laser reduces it's value.
What else makes the DX2 better or worse than the laser?

Thanks.

You're asking a question like:


What's the benefits of antankversus a car?


Look at damage type, AP, ideal range, and damage spread. There's so many variables, this question becomes invalid.

PSG is supposed to block everything but they're bugged and have random vulnerabilities.

The other thing about the DX2 is the range mods up close. Pt Blank and Ideal are both great on this pistol. Combined with the good damage, and acid type, the DX2 remains my pistoleer's favorite. Dunno about the Republic though. Haven't had any reasonable Plumbum on Lowca since...well...ever. But there's hope. Decent Polonium finally spawned.

My standard, nothing-special Laser Rifles are 6.1 78-435 not sliced.
