Hello All,
Question for you. Like many, I've come back to the game after several months, and have been back several weeks now....and finally have a good chunk of the Post-CU 'catching up' done. I'm a MBH and one of my staple weapons once upon a time was the DXR6.
I read through your weapon cap reference stickied above and noticed that there was no info listed for DXR6's.
The WS's that I used to work with for my weapon needs on Kettemoor are no longer around and so I've been shopping vendors I see coordinates for on the trade forums and what not. Most don't seem to carry DXR6's.
Has this weapon become 'bad' Post CU? The reason I ask is that the ones that I still have from Pre-CU seem to have a bit lower damage than other carbines now (The DXR6 in my inventory, unsliced, is 825 damage and 94 SAC). However...the RANGE on the thing is 65 meters while the range on all the other carbines seems 50 meters. To me, that just seems like a huge advantage.
Just out hunting and getting used to things, even with better, brand-new carbines in my inventory I find myself falling back on that old DXR6 alot as that extra range seems to make a world of difference. Being able to root, snare, and KD at 65 meters seems just huge.
Are newly crafted post CU DXR6's just awful? Do they have worse stats than my Pre-CU one and it just happened that my pre-CU one converted over nicely? What are the stats like on post CU DXR6's?
Any info you can share or advice you can offer would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Contact me in game since you are from the Kettemoor Server and I'll make a few for you to see how they come out.
Thanks,

The DXR6 carbine is a CL 40 weapon and thus can never compete with CL 54 weapons damagewise.

Bingo!! They basically nerfed the DXR6 to a grind weapon.

And it uses some expansive resources(at least on my server). I do stock them but i never sell them.

Your DXR6 did convert nicely. Do you recall if there was a powerup on it at the time? Post-CU, mine top out at about 730-740 unenhanced. I stock a model with capped-SAC that sells decently.
Looking at the DXR6's stat profile, it's really a rifle in carbine's clothing...the 0-65 range you mentioned, the 82 SAC cap, the speed...it's quite similiar to the stats on a Tusken rifle, which is also CL 40.
Not to be cynical, but I'm starting to really think that a dev confused it with a the Tenloss DXR-6 when they were doing their CU number-crunching.
