LFRs

I know linears got nerfed a lot but I still believe that in general endgame play they're a lot more useful.

In most endgame scenarios other than raids and dungeons, so like master/gm lost sectors or nightfalls, ammo economy is a big problem, especially if you're running something like a heavy gl or rl.

Linears completely remove that problem with their insane ammo economy.

Another question.

Since you can apply weapon surge mods to any element now even if it doesn't match, would it still be more useful to run a bad roll on something that's same element as your subclass, than, say, a god roll taipan?

[crisp saddle]

No

[granite rapids]

oh sorry my first question was are linears still worth using in end game activities

[mellow reef]

they are, given the void ammo mod probably won't be more so til next season though

[frozen thistle]

Yup

Your entire team needs to be running them for them to be good and you’ll want a div for stuff like rhulk

Rockets are better, but if you want linears to use just run cataclysmic

All the others have horrid ammo economy or deal significantly worse damage

[granite rapids]

even more so in things like gms right

since pure dps matters less and ammo economy more?

[frozen thistle]

In GMs you want a surge-appropriate RL since (assuming you’re not with awful lfg teams) there’s someone on void Hunter running aeons to make 30 billion ammo bricks

[mortal carbon]

no.

to both

[stable bay]

It kinda depends, for something like rhulk or caretaker (especially master mode) or explicator, Linears are better. But there are so many pieces of endgame content that lose to rockets, especially with starfire

[mortal carbon]

ur just lying.like wtf 😭

[frozen thistle]

Linears are good when there isn’t much consistent ammo and the boss has a lot of health

[stable bay]

Bruh explorator crit multiplier is crazy, and rockets vs rhulk is meh

I guess caretaker rockets r fine
