Thread: Looted GEO vs Player made tangle

No, a percision scope would be a good idea, but no matter how you look at it a tangle to a sonic is no contest.
I was gifted to assemble some tangles with +143 Damage Exceptional Fed Mechs and the guns still didn't come out as good as my standard Geos...
VERY dissapointing indeed.
Mmpf. Only thing I find worthwhile shunting proj. feed enhancers into are Striker pistols. The only kinetic ranged weapon in the game makes them solid gold real estate.
Launchers might not be a bad market, but generally flamers tend to be the tool of choice. For a pistoleer going up against certain Nightsisters, only Strikers will do!

That's SUPPOSED to be kinetic according to continuity, but only the looted Tusken King Rifle is Kinetic, and that's not certed for anyone.

That's like saying Lasers suck and T21s are great. It's not as simple as you make it out to be. They both have their place. But I guess if you want to send your Tangle business to me, I'll sell them to people.

Oh I would definatly agree, but they were his mechs and I made what he wanted. Hell 200k per gun for an assembly is a good day of work for me when I did about 6 of them
Ugh - I don't know about you, but I refuse to be involved in builds I don't believe in. I'd offer a geo blaster or two (or three) in exchange for those feeders and put them to better use.

Agreed. Everything has a place, however most people tend to think in two dimensional ways, such as "Tangles = suck, Geos = hawtness".
I'd just say that in terms of the component, it's my opinion not as good a use as putting into a Striker (though personally I'd throwone into a personal bowcaster so I can't speak too much !)as you could easily sell one of the feeders and use the money to purchase a geo - that's an upgrade to the Tangle. There is no 'upgrade' model to the Striker.
Though, certs are important to note, certainly, but that's a smaller niche. Regardless I pretty much stock every weapon there is, except the vibro axe.
Slightly tangential, does anyone elsestock SR combat pistols? I know they're the only non-pistoleer with any AP rating but they move even slower than SG82s.
