Thread: 5.6 43-411 laser rifle, completely standard?
Could be that experimentation bug that allows you to go all the way regardless of materials. It's happened to me once before, I had the same reaction. I immediately contacted another master weaponsmith friend and asked "even with our new copper is gun x with stats x-x/x possible?" Try making another gun with those same resources. If for the life of you you can't get the same stats, its probably this quirk.
This has happened to me before. The laser rifle I ended up with was 417 5.4 Speed with one moderate success. I ditched it because I got a moderate and also because I thought it was a bit fishy. The bug works like so, on final combine I started at 28% with materials that usually give me 24%.
These guns are the result ofa bug. I highly doubt it's an intended feature for a smith to get lucky after every so many combines. The gun I ended up with is probably the result of two bugs. One is the moderate success bug, the other is the final combine bug. It has ONLY happened on one laser rifle ever. I have yet to see this behavior on other guns.
