I have been petitioning this for 6 months now. When will this be fixed so we can make the Beserker Rifle. This is the best rifle in the game IMO and the ONLY heat based rifle. Why was this nerffed and when is it going to be corrected. I have spent several million on this prior to hitting master weaponsmith just to face it on my first attempt.

:smileymadLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE AND QUIT OVERLOOKING IT!

You'll be disappointed at the Berserker- it has no AP and a max damage of about 330, hardly anything special. Components still need fixing though.

Actually, perhaps they dont want to a) make Heat damage available for rifles, or b) just let the Berserker Rifle die out from the game (though that would be wasted artwork for sure)

In other words, might not be meant to come back. Not every change is an oversight, although I would love to see it again.

If they want it to die, they need to pull the parts from the loot tables. At least then the "Does it work now? How 'bout now?" thing will end, and peeps will stop running the Vette for the sake of getting parts to something that can't be made.

Ok here goes......

Wether or not the Rifle is good it should be fixed....I agree

The damage on this is not worth the time building........I disagree

The DXR6-B Rifle is the best rifle in the game........Your god %#$@ Right there (simply because it is the only one in its category available)

Breakdown of my damage mitigation as I have noticed with various rifles......

My main being a Master Rifleman has given me an open door to look at the damages delt with a good rifle on a good exp mob (Janta-Mokks) Using conceal shot and a DXR6-B rifle with a speed powerup I average between 1000-1800 a shot. Janta (most) having only 40% resist to acid this is a good shot. Now the dxr6-b rifle i am using has a max damage of 450-465ish at times. Lets break out the Tusken rifle that has a good dmg of 330ish and a nice speed powerup. In the appropriate range using conceal shot I can dish out around 1500-2200 a shot, mainly because Janta have 0 kinetic resist.

The whole point is that a good experienced rifleman will not run around with 1 gun tucked in his arm and a t-21 for a reserve. If you meet a rifleman like that and your depending on his ranged dps then drop him from a group until you get a REAL one. I carry all the dmg bases I can, I keep a high end blast, energy, acid, stun, kinetic and yes even COLD based rifles in my bag. I have several stoarge droids I use for food, powerups, and armour as well.

So just because the max damage on the rifle is lower doesn't mean it wont hand out the appropriate damage to the right mob. A good rifleman picks the weapon for the appropriate mob, and a good rifleman at this time has no HEAT based weapon in the arsenal, I have a COLD baesd one which I really only use on some corvette missions and various mobs. But if I could whip out my Berserker Rifle and track a mob with 0 heat resist I am sure I could land some nice 2k hits on them.

So in the end DEVS FIX THIS STUPID ISSUE!!!!!!!!! (please)
