Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 810	Posted - 2013.07.24 13:14:00 - [1] - Quote So I'm starting to mess with the laser rifle a lot more and am trying to figure out its ranges. I'm starting to use the tactical map to place myself in the appropriate ranges with red-dots because the ADS target intel is really finnicky. Anyway, the Training Grounds Range Chart shows that the laser rifle's optimal is 66-85m while the effective range is 89m. My understanding is that the effective range is the point at which you do 30% of max normal damage... It doesn't make sense nor does it seem accurate that its damage drops that fast over 4 meters. Anyone else have info?

Messing around with the Laser, trying to see where it works, where it doesn't, and figure out the advantages and disadvantages of the thing... So yeah, I will be watching this thread. Thanks, OP I know it's fun right. I really think, now with the way damage happens, there is something too engaging at that range that's outside the AR's optimals. Players either, swap to TAC-AR, take cover and are disrupted, or try to make their way toward me. Either way, I'm really growing to like it on my amarr logi suit as it means I don't have to expose my slowness up close.
Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 810	Posted - 2013.07.24 14:10:00 - [3] - Quote Alright Musta Tornius helped confirm the 66m to 85m optimal range. @0m its 24%, @ ~35m its 60%, @89m its suddenly 12%. I filed a help ticket to explain this. I was expecting a more generous effective range, but I could see there being an argument for the idea that they have a similar curve to everyone just in reverse. The effective range is on the nearside rather than the far side.
