I have some green geo cubes with Integrity 9180 and Unit Integrity 280. What kind of results would these typically offer in a melee weapon such as a gaffi baton?

Unfortunately, geno cubes can only be used in the DXR-6b rifle and the sword/ reinforcement core schematic. If a weaponsmith were to make some reinforcement cores with these, it would raise the max condition of the final weapon. So instead of like 890 max condition, it would be more around 1100.

Also, green cubes transfer the unit integrity to condition, but since geo cores don't have condition, it is my understanding you will get no benefits from the green cubes. Yellow and red work because the mods carry over from cube to core, then from core to weapon. You may as well use white cubes instead of green ones for making geo reinforcement cores to use in a gaderiffi baton. It would be best to use yellow cubes and solidifying paste to make a geo rein. core to use in a gad. baton.
This assumes you are using the cubes to make geo cores because this is the only way to use cubes in melee weapons.

Actually, crafted geo reinforcement and sword cores can be used in any weapon that can take those cores. So, yes, you could have someone make geo reinforcement cores out of your green cubes and use those reinforcement cores to make a gaffi stick for you.
Also, the green cube will raise the inherent durability of the item it is being used in. So, if you have the green cubes made into cores for a gaffi stick, it will have a higher starting condition than a gaffi made with regular advanced reinforcements or geo reinforcements from white cubes.
The bonus here is that you can also add solidifying agent to the geo reinforcement core which will also raise the integrity (condition) of the gaffi and increase the max damage by a minimum of 10. Yes, it is nice when you can use yellow cubes instead and get even higher damage, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with using green cubes.
For the record, there is no point at all to making geo reinforcement cores with -just- white cubes, as they will turn out exactly like an adv reinforcement core using the resource. The only reason to use white cubes in a geo reinforcement core is so that you can add solidifying agent to the mix when you have no other cube colors available.

Use yellow cubes, and solidifying paste=Kick Arss Gaffi stick. I have made quite a few and they sell on Tarquinas for about 65k each. First one auctioned off at 80k. Also nice in power hammers.

I had read from someone I believed at the time that the green cube durability bonus did not transfer over to the final weapon when making geo cores.
If you have used them and had the 250+ bonus, then I believe you, but it was not what I had ever read. Sorry for any misinformation.

That is for using it in armor (dropped schematics from geo cave)and adds to condition as well.

I've read the same thing and am starting to believe it myself....someone run the test already?

Unfortunately, I don't think I have anything available, at the moment, to compare stats on, but I will dig around and see if I have any green cube gaffis left. I think the ones I have done have had a starting condition around 1100 or so. Generally, I use my green cubes in 6bs to give them a boost before experimentation since their starting condition is so low.
I'll see what I have.
