I hear frequently that lasers are good vs shields but worse vs armor, as well as HMG being bad vs shields but good vs armor
Do we have the exact numbers on this for each weapon?
Are there general rules in EVE about this? i.e. hybrid are good vs X and bad vs Y etc.
If so, what weapon constitutes as what? I'm not sure what a hybrid is fx.
This would help out in fitting vs some of the popular builds |

Dunno about anyone else but I just run when I see a laser beam lol they seem to take down armour just as fast as shields.
I'd be interested in finding out but for the moment I'm just buying armour mods since they increase more in hp than shield mods do iirc |

feels like any weapon in dust can take down shield & armor quite fast regardless of the description.  |

Hybrids, assault rifles, are 110% damage vs shield and 90% damage vs armour.
Lasers are I think 130% (Someone feel free to correct me on this) vs shield and 70% vs armour, but by the time the laser strips the shields it has warmed up enough to rip through the armour at a similar efficiency.
Explosive weapons are 70% vs shields and 130% vs armour - HMGs, mass drivers, grenades, and SMGs are explosive weapons. |

By my understanding hybrid weapons such as the AR, and Forge (maybe sniper too?) are 100% efficiency to both shields and armor.
Your numbers on explosives are correct, However HMG's and SMG's are considered projectile weapons not explosive. I believe they are 90% shields 110% to armor.

Do you guys close your eyes when you play this game or something? What about when the friendly loading tip talks about how you can see weapon affectiveness when you zoom in on players. Check out this youtube some blue text pops up whenever the dude looks at a person. And it shows weapon efficiency rating. This is the damage modifier that is affecting your weapon based on whatever layer you are shooting. If you watch carefully his will change based on if he is shooting armor or shield.
This has been said many times in these forums. You SHOULD see it hundreds of times each game. It is occaisionally a loading tip as well, i think. You can learn a lot by just paying attention... |
