Can someone explain to me why reconstruction is better than rewind rounds on primaries? I can't understand it, or is it just hype?

#

I think per engagement I'm going to get at most 1 fully reconstructed mag before I have to reload, I won't be using my special or heavy for long enough to benefit from another full mag again

#

Then looking at rewind rounds, I feel like I get close to the same ammo as long as I just hit my shots. I don't even need to hit all of them, just most of them. And that repeats every mag

#

But I haven't done the math for any of this so I don't have concrete numbers

#

Depends on the gun and what you’re doing with it

#

Got any more info on what you’re doing?

#

I'm just looking at the primary weapons that can roll both so mostly the raid weapons

#

But I'm also looking at semi similar weapons that can roll recon or like fourth time

#

Or anything like that

#

I'm just struggling to justify recon vs anything else

#

Specials and heavy, obviously recon is good, but I'm talking specifically about primary ammo guns with this

#

What class and subclass are you using and what guns specifically do you want

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:37 PM

#

For example let's look at strand hunter with the raid auto

#

In a world where I can pick either recon or rewind. Not talking about the other perks available in that column

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

Probably rewind in that case, but there’s better in-slot options

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:39 PM

#

Right

#

I'm more asking why there's all this talk about how good recon is and I don't see anything about rewind on these guns

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

It’s because of how good it is on specials

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

I don't understand the fixation on recon in the community on these primaries

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

And how it synergizes with certain perks to be stupid good

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:40 PM

#

Oh I totally get how good it is on specials and heavies. But I'm seeing posts on reddit and chat on servers about it being the best for primaries

#

I just don't understand that mindset

scarlet ginkgo I don't understand the fixation on recon in the community on these primaries

This community is dumb about rolls and the meta 98% of the time I’ve seen people say sunbracers is better than SFP because it can 1phase riven

#

A lot of recon love is just “hee hoo big mag”

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

lmao that's fair

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:41 PM

#

And like I said it makes some perks stupidly good

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

Yea true

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

If they ever added a recon reservoir burst fusion that thing would be so good

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:42 PM

#

I saw a post today about recon/target vs demo/hatch for rufus

#

It just got me thinking, why not rewind/target?

Rewind is kind of borked and doesn’t work how you’d think when dumping the mag, there’s a cap of 2 mag refills before it decides not to work, you have to pause

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

But even with the 2 refills, it gets close to double mag size in the end

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

Yeah

#

Again, people can be weird and stupid in this community

scarlet ginkgo Mar 30, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

So the difference between one full mag is almost nothing but then mag to mag rewind is so much better

thorn birch Mar 30, 2023, 11:45 PM

#

Yup
