Hybrid weapons are weapons that don't do reduced nor bonus damage against any HP type.-á
-Example of a NON hybrid weapon: -áLasers do bonus damage against shields, and reduced damage against armor.-á
-Example: Hybrid turrets don't do any bonus nor reduced damage against any HP type. |

Despite that, it is a hybrid weapon It's just lore and doesn't actually mean anything most of the time. Why do people always say they do equal damage? ARs certainly don't.
I thought ARs were Projectile weapons, not hybrid weapons.-á |
