Weaponsmith Archive

Well, I looted one of these off of a Rebel Special Forces Commando I killed (May he rest in pieces ) and I noticed it shot bullets rather than our beloved super heated blasts, much like a Tuskan Rifle.

Finding this really cool I decided to bug all the crafters I happened to know... And each of them told me it was a gun not worth making. Hmmm. So I was wondering, anyone out there run into a decent Striker Pistol? Are they really more worthless than a CDEF Pistol like my usual gun dealer told me, or are they just a victemof poor resources?

Anyone care to comment?

I believe it's a combo victim: Rare resources, which usually means crappy unless your galaxy gets really lucky, plus some crafting bugs. Many of the advanced weapons suffer from bugs with stacks sub-assemblies not properly transferring stats to the finished product.

I have one that I used for a while until the better scout blasters came out. It had better stats than any other Striker I've seen for sale... it did 44-89 damage with a speed of 2.4, tried to get it sliced but the attempt failed.

I think it has some potential, it's just a matter of time until some master weaponsmith gets around to experimenting with one of these once they get bored with the more common guns everyone asks for.

Hmm, any gunsmiths out on Lowca interested in making me one?

The striker is pretty decent and does kinetic damage: able to make them at 48-96dmg, 1.9spd

Also the D18 is great...I have them at 42-102dmg, 1.5spd

(these are all unsliced)

I can't seem to find a striker pistol around anywhere. I know they arent that good, but I need the kinetic damage. My question for you guys is what can I expect from a best possible striker?

Barring any enhancements or slices, you can expect damage to be around 79-80 min to about 129 max with a speed around 2.0 or so. Mine are 80-129, 2.0 and are as good as, or better than,any other MWS I've seen on Corbantis.
