About the laser rifle:
This post has been edited extensively after more testing.
UPDATE: Using it with a heavy suit is much better, and I managed to get a couple kills with it. The effective range is still very problematic because at mid range, assault rifles can still hit me, and they can usually kill me faster than I can kill them.
I actually had fun with this gun though.
The range is the only major problem with the laser rifle, without a heavy suit, its almost guaranteed death because assault rifles share similar range, and ARs have amazing DPS.

Now about the attribute stats:
They leave a lot to be desired.
It doesn't say if the damage is the minimum or the maximum damage.
It doesn't tell the rate of damage increase for continuous fire.
It doesn't say the rate of fire. Yes I know its a laser beam and all, but there is clearly a rate that the magazine (or power cell) depletes when it is fired non stop.
"seize time" is not the best choice of words, seriously, what is seize time?. |

A gun that punishes actually hitting your target from the beginning... how brilliant. |

The stats really limit how much of an argument I can construct, its annoying. I really wish they improve the stat page at least.
Anyway, going to test the laser rifle some more before testing the nova knives again. |

Was about to check its effective range compared to the assault rifle to see the difference, this way I could know exactly how far I need to be to kill an AR user without being massacred in 2 seconds... and I just remembered there is no range stat in the attributes *sighs* |

Noc Tempre wrote:This issue I have with them is they have damage build up by range AND time. So if you hit a stationary target at 10m, you do less damage than the same person at 50m. On top of that you have damage build up, and if it is anything like the HMG accuracy stat, leveling up the skill means it takes longer to hit that high damage zone, which is counter-intuitive.
Wow, I didn't notice the range thing... that is really really terrible.
It wouldn't be so bad if the range was unlimited, but the laser stops going after passing a certain range, even though its suppose to get stronger with range; kind of nonsensical.
Useless at close range, can still get murdered by militia AR users at mid range, and stops working at long range. |

I use it with a Skinweave Heavy PBO suit (I know lucky bastard) and some other BPO modules so its only the gun I have to pay for, and the T1 is a bargain. I'm not entirely sure if the T2 LR is worth the extra cost tho, with a couple of levels in LR you only overheat at the very end of a mag with the T1, and the T2 doesn't give you extra ammo/damage (from what I can see).
I try to engage enemies at as long a range as possible, you have zero recoil, at that distance a AR will sends shots flying over your head while you can leisurely gun him down with a sustained volley.
TL;DR: Heavy + LR, shot people at long range with it, they often wont hit you back.
Cheers.
Thanks, going to test it with a heavy now. |
