i wish horrible ass-related diseases to everyone who asked for this

#

shotgun nerfs are always wrong

robust coral
astral epoch
#

I think I am okay with this, but we'll have to wait and see.

#

It probably depends on how much hp purple and blue shields will have after taking two hits, and how stack overflow or maybe sucker punch play with it.

Any tips for Triage Solo Kit?

I know he has some specific cores, and synergy with Volt Weapons… are there any specific Volt weapons that are the most powerful / most impactful when buffed by his ability?

Any recommendations for what weapons to pair with WSTR, and which runner shells make good use of shotgun kit?
(New player, just got WSTR finally, gonna use it this weekend before Tuesday patch)

gusty shoal
#

any shell

#

wstr is universal

#

if you're not on outpost/cryo, I'd probably suggest something that can shoot to 40+ though. volley or m77 are generally the go-tos

people will complain about it even when it gets nerfed to do 0 damage

#

i guarantee it

gusty shoal

A 50% damage nerf is kinda insane. I was expecting like, 20-35%

#

How yall feel about the WSTR supposed nerfs?

cinder quiver
#

if i said what i truly felt i'd get banned

acoustic oak
#

As a nerf to the gun, bit of a shame. But as a buff to the other shotguns, it's great

cinder quiver
#

what other shotguns

#

they never drop

cinder quiver
#

using another shotty would be a temporary fix anyway because once the wstr has been successfully nerfed enough (that is, 0 damage and makes no sound in case it scares someone) the complaints will just start rolling in for the others

outer hull
#

I’ve been playing for almost a week, and I just got my first WSTR in Dire Marsh, but I’ve probably died to a WSTR in Perimeter, at least a few times

#

But that’s neither here nor there, my goal is simply to adapt to the changes, also people’s builds and the weapon usage will adapt to whatever nerfs / buffs occur, so I don’t think it’s the end of the world, and the WSTR will still definitely wreak havoc in specific setups / scenarios

otherwise yes good

if your letting 3 shots land on you you aint doing enough to get out the way. let them reload and hit you again? 😄

how does everyone feel about the Last Resort purple mod? overheat damage bonus would be valuable on Vandal/Destroyer

only problem is IDK how much the damage is actually increased, if its not as much as a headshot its basically worthless is my thought process

Speaking of close range, what non-shotgun weapons are people having a good time using in close range fights? Are SMGs the best weapon type for that, if I’m not bringing a shotgun?

tall cloak
#

I personally like the bully good damage and easy recoil

astral epoch
#

Bully basically dominates (or dominated) any range less than assault rifle's maximum, and even then, mods can push its reach pretty far. I think the copperhead and brrrt are good, but they just don't have the capability for range and overall versatility the bully does. The brrrt especially suffers from a lower mag size and long reload time that can't easily be improved (since it has no mag mod slot).

I know, I have many schemas I will never use

#

But I thought maybe Traxus sold it? Let me check

#

ah, I'm mixing it up with the bully

outer hull
#

Traxus I believe, sells specifically SMG, Assault Rifle, and Precision Rifle stuff(?)

#

Only Pistol for sale in faction is CE Tactical in CyAcme I think

acoustic oak
#

V11 Punch and the CE Tactical for CyAc

outer hull
#

Yeah, forgot the V11 is a pistol

acoustic oak
#

Traxus has the M77, Hardline, Longshot, V66, Bully and V22

outer hull
#

Yep, SMGs, ARs, and Scouts

acoustic oak
#

Well, in that case. I think the Schemas drop most often in the called in airdrops as well as UESC Commanders?

#

At least where I've found the most of mine

Not exactly a build crafting question, but what armory weapon would you pair with a V11 Punch, in a budget kit build?

normal lynx
#

I might go with an m77 but i'm not sure

outer hull
#

Yeah… the M77 is good… a tad bit expensive for my needs though… would a Bully work in current circumstances, or an Overrun with Mods?*

outer hull
#

True

#

(Follow Up) How many Volt Batteries would be optimal in a Double Volt Battery Weapon Build?

Cc @lime roost @normal lynx in case either of you have ideas re: this

tropic torrent
#

I don't suppose anyone have numbers or good testing yet on the buff from Common Enemy?

solemn salmon
#

With none of those, i expect to use a stack of batteries every 3-5 minutes in an average raid

normal lynx
outer hull
#

Also, this might be a stupid Q, but does Background Process on a Volt Weapon, recharge it w/o consuming ammo?

solemn salmon
#

ItĘťs got a decent capacity @ base with 4.5% drain, thatĘťs about 20 shots. You can win a 1v1 in just under half a mag.

#

Better than the V22 for PvP

#

v11 is just GOATed ngl

outer hull
#

Yep, I’m so glad it’s only 50 credits, feels like it’s super accessible for any new player trying to kit themselves out on a budget and still be competitive

solemn salmon
#

IĘťve been doing a lot with the CE tac to find out where itĘťs supposed to land when competing with the V11, and the biggest thing going for it is the accuracy. The V11 is a better equalizer, but with decent aim, youĘťll get the precision damage easier with the CE Tac

  • Also, if you have a Triage running batteries, you can avoid competing for ammunition.

#

What weapons are best for pvp?

#

Especially to counter snipers

gusty shoal
#

the only real gun to potentially snipers is your own sniper or a railgun. some precision rifles like the Stryder or Twin Tap can contest them, but I wouldn't generally recommend it

unique tangle
gusty shoal
#

it'll ensure you don't get sniped again

unique tangle
#

Ok then I will try to be more thoughtfull of paths i take today when playing

unique tangle
gusty shoal
unique tangle
#

Nice.

#

Even some blue shield runs i lost because of those sniper rifles

gusty shoal
#

well, yeah. If you're running the shields that make you one-tap to a sniper, you'll probably get one-tapped by a sniper

#

but for blue and purple runs, you should be able to get tapped, run back into cover, and then get out of the sniper lane

unique tangle
#

2 tap is only 1 second longer

#

Not enough time to react imo

#

Especially if FULL SQUAD RUNS THEM

gusty shoal
#

depends on where you find yourself, I think

unique tangle
#

Idk I either play dire marsh and get slimed by snipers or play outpost and get slimed by wstr

#

Ig I am going back to paramiter 🙏 😭

snipers mainly punish getting caught out in the open, so yeah. If you're sitting in the middle of Anomaly, you'll probably have a bad time

Perimeter is 100% much more chill, also I imagine sponsored queues will be better…

For more serious answer re: dealing with snipers, I do think anything that messes with visuals is key, specifically smoke, but maybe also signal jammer, and as for precision rifles that can throw off a sniper’s aim, I honestly don’t have any suggestions for that, because I definitely think repositioning to where you have a fast firing weapon that’s in a closer range, is probably better way to “duel” a sniper, than trying to match them at sniper / precision rifle range

#

Also I don’t know how useful LMG shields are for snipers, obviously LMGs are not a weapon that allow for great movement, but I have heard they are good at tanking certain weapon types…

outer hull
#

Question Re: Weapon Mods What are good chip mods for weapons like SMGs, ARs, and LMGs?

left dune
#

I mean idk maybe I'm out of touch but I would just acquire whatever feels right to you 🤷‍♂️

outer hull
#

Yes, but there’s definitely some chip mods that boost base weapon performance, and some chip mods work better for slow firing weapons vs fast, and I was curious if folks had any recommends for high rate of fire weapons

#

(Like I know slip protocol obviously works, but idk what else to put on my weapon that is not a situational mod)

cinder quiver
#

cloudborn is good if you play assassin a lot or maybe thief + smoke nade spam

#

torchbug is just plain funny

outer hull
#

What does torchbug do again, that’s the “enemies explode” one, right?

cinder quiver
#

yep, killed enemies explode

#

good for thinning out uesc and sometimes getting a second runner kill

outer hull
#

Also, I assume Bits Per Second is also good on high rate of fire* weapons if you can get headshots with the gun(?)

cinder quiver
#

yeah it's basically rapid hit from destiny

#

i bet ornithologist + a suppressor barrel could be useful in perimeter

#

slip protocol is nice for smgs

#

Yeah, today’s update (plus maintenance end) should be out in a few hours

steel osprey
#

ill probably bring a bully and wtsr with claymores so i cant get destroyed by random assassins. maybe a m77 with twintap?

#

whats the new update about

outer hull
#

Basically means you should probably put a mod on to give it 3 shots

steel osprey
#

what mods are best for that?

outer hull
#

Sorry the opposite, higher tier shields

outer hull
#

Folks will probably be posting recommendations here, just know if you face blue shields or above, two WSTR shots alone won’t take them out, so plan accordingly

steel osprey
#

why they rook nerfs tho. its hard enough for rook city (outpost) to face 3 stack of ruthless purples while pretending to team with other rooks only to shotgun them to get more stuff to kill other squads or rooks.

#

I feel like this is a buff to bully. I love WSTR but it was broken. Bully is my favorite gun.

cinder quiver
#

right after grenades. the moment wstr nerf was announced the complaints about grenades started rolling in

left kraken
#

They already nerfed it. I feel like it’s in a good spot.

mortal panther
#

Nah nah this is a good nerf the gun was a one tap it made no sense in the game. The bully is good and will probably become top 3 in close range meta behind the other shotguns

cinder quiver
#

man the other 2 shottys dont exist

#

they're fictional

Bro if you liked the game for grenades and the WSTR then you’re just a fan of easy PvP

cinder quiver
#

naw i dont like playing assassin

mortal panther
#

That’s real ig

cinder quiver
#

also i like EVERY game for grenades and double barrelled shottys

#

it's by far and away the best

#

now, sniper rifles? no video game sniper rifle has ever been interesting

mortal panther
#

Idk I prefer the fair PvP I want a chance to fight people not get 1 tapped before I can get a single shot off

left kraken
#

They could have made WSTR just stupid rare instead of nerfing it. Take way from Rook. 🤷🏼‍♂️

mortal panther
#

That’s fair but we have the misriah and v85 in that spot now so it’s damn near the same

left kraken
#

Finding a shotgun or sniper should feel like winning the lottery. They should excel in their damage. WSTR is going to be left in the map now. They ruined something with great potential. I agree it was too strong…. But was that the point? It just needs to be VERY rare.

cinder quiver
mortal panther
#

Yea and that’s why finding a misriah should’ve felt better than it did and it literally did less damage than the wstr pre nerf

cinder quiver
#

ok so buff misriah, good idea

#

we agree on that point

mortal panther
#

Also plenty of players run 3 or even 4 shots in their wstr

cinder quiver
#

so that particular mod is the problem

#

why should the gun be nerfed

#

it should be viable in its standard configuration, even the overrun can do that

left kraken
#

The funny thing is now knives are going to be killing many shotguns. They reversed their knife nerf.

cinder quiver
#

knife nerf didnt sit right with me either

left kraken
#

Yea… I still can kill purple with a free kit if I start swinging first close. But now shotguns are going to be wrecked by knives.

#

What (non-shotgun) weapon would you bring as a backup in a m77 kit?

cinder quiver
#

v11 punch, which is probably next on the chopping block

restive jasper
#

what are your guys budget build for normal runs?

gusty shoal
#

define budget

cinder quiver
#

punch, green shield, green backpack, grab some health, shields and batteries

#

smokes too if i'm doing a lockbox key run

#

if there's any free implants i throw those on too

#

oh yeah if it's a lockbox key run i throw on a suppressor

#

and any thief cores if i got them

nimble pebble
#

Can someone tell me what is the point of something like Sucker Punch if the melee dmg breakpoint is at 80-something?

#

Or in general explain what is the point of the melee nerf when all it takes is 1 implant and maybe 1 Arachne upgrade to reach the breakpoint? Their reasoning was to have to build towards melee dmg, but I don't see how that is true at all if you can just slap on Graceful Landings or Knife Fight and your melee dmg is already capped?

#

Am I missing something here?

cinder quiver
#

considering the wstr nerf we got today it's real hard to figure out what the logic is, at least to me

#

i guess medium range weapons are going to eat well forever

#

hopefully snipers catch some stray nerfs as well

#

outer hull
# restive jasper what are your guys budget build for normal runs?

Similar to what others have said, I try to take the following with me on a Budget Run

  • V11 Punch (main weapon, suppressor optional)
  • Overrun (optional, use when unable to reload V11 mid-fight, to be replaced by other stuff during run)
  • Basic Pack
  • Green Health Consumables (I go as low as 1 Patch Kit and 1 Shield Charge, depending on how much of a budget I want to be on)
  • 1 Mechanics Kit (optional)
  • Smoke Grenade (optional)
  • 1 Ammo Stack for each weapon
  • Cheapest Green Shields Implant You Have

The curse of this, is if you’re not bartering, all of these things basically equal a 2.5k sponsored kit, so if you see a good sponsored kit in the shop, and you have the extra cash, get it

#

You can of course forego the Overrun, or replace it with whatever you have in your vault, but I do think, if you don’t want to lose stuff, Free Kits are a better deal, and if you want a backpack, either a 2.5k kit that comes with one, or Rook run is better (this all is contextual to what you’re trying to do in the game, of course)

#

Also, for “Budget” Kits, I think a smart thing to do, is to limit yourself to weapons and other things you have access to purchasing in the Armory (especially if you’re a new player) that way you don’t lose something you can’t reacquire later

There is no build crafting this time.
On outpost a red key card can be acquired from the end of a long platform.
Use vandal to climb on top of the building next to that platform and rat on top of it until somebody goes to collect the card. Then overcharge your disrupt cannon and send them to the void

leaden bough
#

yeah see ya, the slide invis, spectre shield

granite magnet
#

There's the one chest perk that makes you invisible when you get a head shot. There's the gold back pack, the gold shield

#

Doesn't the gold ce pistol mod make you go invisible when you reload after a kill?

gusty shoal
#

no. That's just a chip. See Ya

granite magnet
#

Ah

#

Is there a gold ce mod?

gusty shoal
#

wait actually. See Ya is reload on an empty mag

granite magnet
#

Still

#

Free invis on mag dump

#

Ik assassin can still make the best use of all these invisibility options, but still

#

Also, does maxing melee damage from implants and faction upgrades make the melee damage cores and implant traits worthless?

#

Or does it stack on top of the stat independently?

#

Like, lets say I got max melee stat

#

And then Im using the myrmadon core for destroyer that gives me more melee damage after using thrusters

#

Does that still stack and increase the damage of my next knife/punch?

craggy panther
#

You need to check whether things stack. I've found that some things DO stack and some things DO NOT

#

If something gives a straight +melee stat, there are massively diminishing returns, if it buffs melee damage then it's worth checking whether it's even stacking at all.

#

@granite magnet there are several breakpoints to hit with just base melee stats, there is basically no point going over I believe 95 now with the nerfs to knives.

#

I don't think there's a reliable way to re-enable the two heavy down any more at all, even with stacking high stat and melee damage buffs

#

also have to consider the TTK, almost all combos with 95 stat are essentially the same TTK. 1.44s

granite magnet
#

Gotcha

#

So, melee isnt something super worth building into outside of like as a finisher

#

At least post nerfs

Gotcha

#

Hmm

tropic torrent
#

No internal CD as far as I could tell, either, but I only used it as a throwaway weapon on troll loadouts

#

Also, on the note of melee, it's not clear (at least that I've seen oe experienced) whether high-stat melee has the same level of falloff against bots as players

Going for very high melee might be an effective way to solo wardens, since melee was already really good for that with smokes

granite magnet
#

Gotcha

#

Im just wondering if like the implant and core buffs just give flat melee stat or like a melee damage multiplier

#

Like, crouching panther or the myrmadon core for destroyer

tropic torrent
#

They mostly just buff the melee stat

granite magnet
#

Gotcha

#

So if you max it out in other ways then those traits are worthless

tropic torrent
#

Some of the "move faster" cores/implants do the same -- Assassin's Prowl Kit gives a giant agility bonuses when sneaking, for example

Maybe? I don't think I've seen rigorous testing on whether they still have a stacking effect

granite magnet
#

I imagine to make them worth it they have to have some kind of overcharging benefit

tropic torrent
#

and it all depends on whether Bungie implemented some very nasty decay function for >100 on melee damage for what you're looking ay

#

Ehh

#

Game seems balanced around 100 being "really f*cking high" for any given stat

granite magnet
#

Fair

#

Also, does going above 100 actually do anything?

#

Im assuming not, right?

#

Like, above 100 heat capacity doesnt keep giving you a larger and larger bar

granite magnet
#

Anyone know if crouching while invisible from the sneak pack makes you bassically not render on anyone's screen like it does when crouched with assassin proper?

outer hull
# granite magnet Also, does going above 100 actually do anything?

This requires people to do testing… similar testing has been done in Destiny 2 (which has similar systems) and there, sometimes a buff would increase / decrease something whose associated stat was already maxed out, but that might vary depending on the behind the scenes implementation of a mechanic (whether the mechanic just gives bonus stat points, or if it acts as a multiplier / modifier on the behavior, and not an additive to the stat)

granite magnet
#

Fair

outer hull
#

Also, something that was pretty common in Destiny 2 balancing, was when players would discover an insanely good series of multipliers to something (like melee damage, for example) Bungie devs would try to limit how high one can go by stacking on multiple interactions between mechanics

But this game is different so idk how many “you have two to three things active helping buff this thing” exist

granite magnet
#

OK, so, it's bothered me there isnt a volt (energy ammo) LMG so I came up with an idea for one.

When you pull the trigger there is a 10th of a second delay before is starts shooting, but when it gets going, its a constant beam like the Sentinel beam from halo. Something like 200 ammo per volt battery when using a max ammo belt/battery thingy. Not sure on the damage numbers but ideally it has like a .6 to .7 second ttk even with the .1 second trigger delay.

Maybe the gold could be a sight that removes your ability to truly ads except a slight zoom and turning on the shield, and the major benefit is as long as the beam is connecting to an enemy, the ammo doesnt drain.

Re: Overrun, it is definitely made for mid-range, and it’s very high rate of fire, so it benefits from anything you can do to maximize its stability, and build it to perform at its listed range

Also, like others said, you can start a run with it equipped k and on the off chance you find an AR or other midrange weapon mid-run, have a large enough backpack where you can store your Overrun, and equip the other weapon

(Re: LMGs)
Should I be building LMGs for medium-long range, or more for medium-close range, in folks opinion?

(I know this is a weird question, but because I end up occasionally having an LMG in random scenarios, I’m curious which of these two engagement ranges they’re better built for)

winged kettle

#

I build for ads speed so i can play more aggro

I think lmgs in general are better for medium close, but for me that's mostly because it feels bad running recoil/range attachments for long range when I could run ads speed/weight reduction attachments instead

outer hull
#

@fast island @lofty cedar thank you, agree with you both, that the high rate of fire + other factors, make LMGs better for “medium close” engagements,

If y’all have any tips on which stats to prioritize to mitigate their weaknesses in that engagement distance (besides ADS speed & weight reduction), I’d appreciate it

(Also agree that the one “HMG” we have so far, feels like a much different type of weapon than the other two machine guns, but that feels like an exception case)

Duelist shield is nice for the ads speed and moving accuracy. Balanced shield is probably my next choice for shield for equip speed. If you run afterburner or the reload vandal core, I find mega belt and cloudfeather belt are generally redundant, so either balanced belt or turbo belt make more sense. My favorite chip mod for lmgs is afterburner, as it lets you bypass the long reload and lessens the need for control shield. Slip protocol, bits per second, and circuit tracers are good alternative chip mods. Demolition can use trigger discipline for better long range poke. Sight is preference, but I tend to prefer clear eyed lens for the low zoom when not running a thermal.

#

Lock and load core on destroyer is amazing for boosting equip speed, and the core that reloads weapons on slides on vandal is also very good as an alternative to afterburner chip

My understanding, is that Traxus Mods For This Season Is:

  • SMGs
  • Assault Rifles
  • Precision Rifles
    (and any weapons that also take mods from those categories)
    ^ This makes kitting out these weapons consistently very easy
  • Rook Runs are the fastest way to get basic mods for CE Tact & V11 Punch
    (Which are compatible with other weapon types, for example you can take the silencer from a CE Tact, and put it on a Bully)
    IDK if folks have recommendations for other consistent sources of weapon mods… I assume going for containers with mods in them is best?

Question for you ASSASSINS:
SMOKE FIELD which is always shown in Blue to denote it's a Shell related thing like usual. While the Smoke Grenade says it creates a SMOKE SCREEN, that is not shown in Blue text in the description.

This is where my question stems from. Do things such as Cores that Buff Smoke Field also work on Smoke Grenades? Or is that why they create a smoke screen and not a smoke field, so an Assassin can't buff a specific equipment too much?

Example: Ghost Protocol - Any Smoke Field you create lasts longer before dissipating.

Smoke Grenades last longer?

This is a hard take but they caused a domino effect with the nerfs, they snipers so less punishment for being exposed in open, they nerfed bubble as the cheap easy cover, they nerfed cheap shotgun/knife as the quick way to collapse and kill bubble teams, and now people are mad about grenades...

I think they went over board (IMO) with all nerfs and should find a better solution like bring longshot fire rate to 75 rpm instead of the 90 orignal and 60 new, keep bubbles kind of similar, bring waster damage back maybe increase rarity and only purple stack overflow works for 3 shots and maybe slightly longer reload/fire rate The grenade problem could probably be adressed by un nerfing weapons again and decreasing grenade spawns in situ

Hey does anyone know the diff between air cooled chamber and tapered heatsink? Both increase reload speed and magazine size. I get one probably has more magazine size than the other and faster reload vice versa but the tooltip for mods is really vague at times.

I’ve got both on blue but I don’t have any compatible weapons atm to view stat diff

midnight talon

gimme a sec.

#

reload speed on an unmodded circuit breaker is 4.1s, volt drain is 9.4%

#

with a purple tapered sink, reload speed goes down to 3.3s and volt drain goes down to 4.8%

#

with a purple air-cooled, reload speed is 2.8 and volt drain is 7.6%

#

it doesn't make much sense given the name of the mods but it seems like tapered is better for mag size and air-cooled is better for reload speed.

I made a concept for the game as a new game mode I’m alittle scared to share it I just want to know if you guys are interested in seeing it

#

I can’t attach an image hold on

#

This is my pitch deck for a more accessible game mode for a wider audience

sharp cypress
#

my pitchdeck is just sponsored kit mode and make the game free

agile sigil
#

Alot more to it but ok

#

I appreciate your feedback 🙂

Thank you

Its not to replace the core of Marathon but to add something more people may enjoy

does anyone know how much an Enduring item's value increases by?

#

is there a % value?

atomic ore
#

could be wrong & haven't tested closely but I believe it's +.5x base value each time

New player, what does the “+1 Shield Slot” on Protector V1 do?

#

Oh I see. It’s how many blocks of shields you have. So actually the confusing one is Reinforced Shields. Which presumably is no extra blocks but instead extra HP for the single gray block?

gusty shoal

#

I see, thanks. That seems to suggest that if all you have for shields is a green implant, then you’re getting more efficiency from depleted shield patch if you’re running Reinforced Shields than running Protector V1

gusty shoal
#

this is actually one of the main draws of one of the two gold shields

south temple
#

Yeah I see I see, reinforced v2

gusty shoal
#

yup

cunning gale
#

anyone else notice that Copperhead bullets seem like they're slow as hell?

#

just lost a fight in ranked to a dude that was like, not even 30 M away and was for sure in the weapons effective range

acoustic oak
#

Isn't it only an 18m effective range

#

It's not very far for the base stats

gusty shoal
#

I mean you can add attachments to make it longer

acoustic oak
#

Correct

gusty shoal
#

I would assume they have some of the range mods, at least

#

it's possible they were outside of the effective range though

cunning gale
#

i added attachments to make it 30 meters, it was like a minecraft arrow 😂

#

each bullet could have made it to the target faster if I mailed it to the guy

acoustic oak
#

I feel like the increased range for the Copperhead is just there to pad the attachment count

cunning gale
#

no clue, but for an SMG that range is basically worthless

acoustic oak
#

Moral of the story is; don't use the Copperhead

cunning gale
#

heartbreaking

#

handicap weapon

acoustic oak
#

I wish it was more viable, maybe it is and I'm just using it wrong

cunning gale
#

no way dude not a chance lol

#

viability is solely in the Dev's hands here and there are several weapons i think are extremely challenging to use

#

Hardline is another example

acoustic oak
#

The Hardline can be good from what I've been experimenting with

#

The visual kick you get is really jarring which I think turns a lot of people off it

#

With a recoil reduction, it becomes pretty decent

gusty shoal
#

If you get good recoil mods on it, it can do pretty well yeah. I think the bigger problem is just that it fills a niche that's really competitive and not particularly useful

acoustic oak
#

Still prefer the Stryder though, so much more satisfying to use and I find myself hitting so many more headshots with it over the Hardline

i wanna make like, a 2x2 grid with "I like/don't Like it" on top and "it's good/bad" on the side

I like the impact, but it's ass 😭

What's the best website to plan out a build / gun loadout? I've noticed a few of the sites are completely outdated defeating the purpose.

how much

acoustic oak

uhhh

#

an amount

#

which I do not know

sharp cypress
#

like rough estimate

acoustic oak
#

I literally do not have a clue

#

I just know it does

#

It's one of the stats on the mod

Whats yall go to farmable/easy to stock up on weapon mods

lofty cedar
cursive fern
#

Like is there one from traxus shop you go to or maybe a specific barter you stock up on yk?

lofty cedar
#

i usually jsut strip the chip mod and use the gun, since for those the guns arent bad

cursive fern
#

yeah ive been trying to figure out what chips I can consistently use for builds so I was curious

#

ideally I get a bunch of stack overflows for wstrs, minjammers for snipers and such and Im not sure for bully/smgs... maybe insurrectionist or something

lofty cedar
slender shoal
#

Do any of the chips that give effects like cardio have any use cases
And by extension elimination chips? They seem to have niche uses on paper

solemn salmon
#

sorry wrong reply

#

@slender shoal

slender shoal
#

yeah, some seem to be pvp focused though like keyboard warrior

#

it does get longer durations at higher tiers so maybe superior version of it is long enough to utilize

solemn salmon
#

itĘťs great for the passive stat buff to your weapon

#

particularly higher rarities becomes a meaningful effect

Also question regarding v22 thrower

Is there any mod that allows it to sustain fire for longer before overheating? Or do you just have to fire in shorter bursts?

tropic torrent

#

Nice one

#

Should i focus on getting the range on wstr up? Its been inconsistent with me whenever i use it

Does anybody know where I can farm Flechette Split Action prestige barrel mod for BRRT SMG?

Also how to unlock the BRRT in the armory, is it possible or you have to find it? If so, where can I farm it?

Not the gold weapon on cryo vault one because you can't personalize that one i think.

lofty cedar

#

I see thanks

#

Btw how do I farm red keys? I haven't found one yet

lofty cedar
# slate heath Btw how do I farm red keys? I haven't found one yet

theres spots around outpost that contain a red key, its a beacon that gives you a redcard (search red card video if u want the spots). alternatively u can kill gold boss at dorms for 1 red, i believe any purple bot can drop red (ive only gotten red drops from purp bot in the pinwheel)

#

you need 3 total for the room fyi

slate heath
#

Ooooh you mean that red room

lofty cedar
slate heath
#

I thought there was a red key like for cryo vault 6

lofty cedar
#

oh there is, i just meant red keycard my bad

slate heath
#

Are there red keys for maps other than cryo?

#

I need to farm red keys idk how

lofty cedar
#

cryo 6 is the only red key and u can find i believe anywhere u can find a gold cryo key (red keycard room in outpost, bosses, diremarsh lockdown final box)

slate heath
#

Okay

lofty cedar
#

alternatively just kill ppl on cryo or find a buddy that has one

slate heath
#

Ye that is probably fastest way to go about it ngl xd

lofty cedar
#

i havent gotten one since they redid outpost, me and friend got 4 back to back then never again

slate heath
#

If you have good team at pvp

slate heath
#

Btw is cryo 3 a gold keys?

lofty cedar
slate heath
#

Okok

#

Me snd my team miss 3 and 6

lofty cedar
#

i have i think two 3's

slate heath
#

For compiler, no idea how the 7th even works tho

lofty cedar
#

u need dna access card, u have chance to get in cryo vault rooms. gold rooms and red obv have higher chance (they might be guarnteed but i havent really hit too many gold rooms)

#

the dna access card is vault 7 card

slate heath
#

Is it the red little circular thing?

lofty cedar
#

no thats subroutine, itll look like a keycard but a 1x1 and say dna access card

slate heath
#

Okok

How do y’all build your copperheads? Fallen in love with the gun on destroyer, so good for run and gun gameplay and spamming missiles downrange.

quick question: do shell stats overstack? Like if i'm using knife fight v4 along with strike kit v3 and it brings my melee damage to 115, does that have an impact? or is it the same as getting to 100?

lofty cedar
acoustic oak
#

It's capped at 100

#

As in, even if the stat says 115, the actual performance is still going to be what 100 is

ivory kelp
#

Any thoughts about what shell would support a pair of assassins in Cryo if that shell needs to be leading/sherpa-ing the group?

Hey! Just starting this week, What should I do to start build crafting? so Far favorite shells are Recon + Thief. So any builds that focus on their habilities would be good!

cursive fern
#

anyone know if the bully has a max range?

#

and if so, where in game can I find that stat
