Hi guys,

Ostrine recently popped on Kettemoor for the first time since I started playing (end of July early August), and I have been waiting all this time to finally make the ABPH. However now that I can, I am disappointed with their stats. Granted it is adding to the damage, but due to the quality of resources used in the normal BPH the speed just isnt as good in the advanced ones. Right now my ABPH speeds only reach about -.36. Is this due to the poor quality of ostrine that popped or are the just naturally inferior in speed, and make up for it with added damage? Please lend a voice and/or tell me your speed on the ABPH.

Thanks

They always seem to be slower than normal handlers, but the damage increase is well worth it. Some people will use normal on heavy weapons because an extra 20 damage isn't as significant to them, but advanced is better on everything else.

Advanced BPHs are a hair slower, but they double the increase in damage when you get the best resources. I make regular BPHs to 29% and with full damage experimentation I get min 10 max 10 if memory serves, maybe 5-10 I forget. When I make the ABPH I get it to 24% and fully experiment damage to 18-37. As for the speeds I forget what they were, but the regular one was .1 faster with some change. I will not even make regular BPHs anymore unless I am making them for Rocket Launchers or HPBCs. I will not make a regular ranged weapon that is 20 max damage less than normal and try and sell it. I recently ran out of Irolunn and am not making them anymore till it pops or I buy some.
