Thrasophius posted:What is the ammo consumption like on akstilletos? I'm assuming you start to run dry quite quickly with it being a secondary if that's the case what mutation do the akstilletos need, pistol mutation because they are a sidearm or a rifle one? Yeah, once you start dealing with full-auto sidearms instead of single-shot sidearms, you're bound to run into some ammo problems. However, the akstilettos are pretty drat accurate for being full-auto, so you can pull off headshots a lot easier and that leads to tons of ammo being saved. Because of that, the only place I can potentially run out of ammo is in a long survival mission; never in a regular mission. And even then, I don't really mind because it gives me an excuse to play with my primary. But if you are worried about ammo, here are a few things to do: 1) Put pistol ammo mutation or trick mag mods on your akstilletos. This should lead to you being able to carry a lot more ammo and get a lot more ammo back from drops. 2) Be a lazy space ninja and have a carrier sentinel which vacuums up ammo everywhere. Just by having this you'll have easier access to all the ammo that drops and that leads to more ammo. Technically you could pick it all up by yourself, but you'll always miss a few here and there and this fixes that. 3) Get the medium team ammo restore blueprint from clan research (try to avoid the regular market bp if you can) and craft those up for cheap. If you're in trouble, just use one of those can get some ammo back. You'll also give ammo back to nearby space ninjas, so you'll feel good.

How does ammo/energy restore works, Is there a min/max radius? I've only used it in limited applications and just stood on top of the thing to be sure. Also still have the full ammo restore boxes from way back when. Wish there was a way to replicate them

Energy restores are secretly very good. You can just park on one and spam abilities indefinitely on defense missions.

Restores are also great because you can use them midair and create a platform for yourself, and even after it disappears you don't fall down unless you move!!

Denzine posted:Ignis hits multiple targets, Flux does not. Flux is so much worse than Ignis it's crazy. Also, unless this has changed recently, the Synapse from the bio lab works exactly like the Flux Rifle, just with a different beam effect and stats that are better in every possible way. RIP, trusty old Flux Rifle. Edit: Yeah, I didn't believe it at first but the consumables are all pretty useful, especially when you spam a pile. The 10x reusable blueprints from the labs are pretty expensive at 250k, but they're worth getting for more than convenience: the materials they need are even more common than the 1x bps.

Flux does have a niche in nekros poopsocking since it does slashing damage and can cut things in half.

They only mutate ammo if you're full on that type. So if you have a rifle and have shot off a few magazines, the rifle pickups will go toward replenishing your rifle ammo pool until it's maxed out--regardless of which weapon you have equipped. Basically, it's something you don't have to think about in-mission.

Denzine posted:Serration, Split Chamber, Speed Trigger, and Heavy Caliber for Ignis, then whatever elemental mods you feel like using. Hcal has no appreciable down side for Ignis. If you don't have hcal, slot the relevant Bane mod. Maybe I should start tossing formas into my Ignis. So far my experience with the Penta has been alright, but not earth-shattering. Especially since I tend to be a bit laggy.

Basically, it's something you don't have to think about in-mission. Pretty sure Mutations only work if you have the relevant weapon out, and will grab other pickups even if you aren't topped off. So if you shot off some rifle mags and keep your pistol out, it'll still convert those rifle pickups into pistol ammo. But then again I run carrier so I literally never switch away without filling up. :V

What sort of mods should I use fusion cores on to get the most out of them? I've got 40+ of the things and don't want to waste them and my credits for little gain.

Shugojin posted:Grustrag 3, Harvester, amd Stalker. After fulfilling some conditions in previous game you have a chance for them to come into your game to try and kill you. The G3 and Harvester drop parts for the Brakk and Detron respectively, both shotgun type weapons for the secondary slot. The Stalker has a chance to drop blueprints for the Dread bow, Despair kunai, or Hate scythe. Welp. I wasn't aware they went by that classification.

Those are definitely looking nice, I was really happy with the skin for carrier given how horrible it looks by default, and even if I don't use them, the dethcube and shade both decorate very poorly and for the most part are better off without accessories (though I do like the carrier skin without a mask unless I'm using the full parrot getup). That rifle sounds pretty cool too, though it sounds like it's going to do what everyone hoped the synapse would be.

The codex says the Amprex does 20% more damage than Synapse but with a longer reload (2.0s compared to 1.5s) and twice the ammo consumption (which also means the magazine lasts half as long). It does have twice the status/sec and the same crit stats, though. I guess it'll live or die based on its range and how useful the chain lightning ends up being. If it's Spectra-length then Synapse has nothing to worry about.

Yeah, seems like the cone is inverted compared to an Ignis. You'll hit more targets close up but you can still zap thingies at a moderate range. Whatever, more mastery for the mastery god.

I have like 25 Fieldron from constantly hitting up the Grineer trying to farm for Brakk, so I've got something to sink those into at least now. Let's not forget that the once-mighty Flux Rifle is an energy weapon too.

TheRationalRedditor posted:Is it controllable, or is it just momentum from coptering? How do you do it? You just run around as usual, except you're absorbing. I think you can also do it by getting knocked down as you're casting it, but the most reliable way is to activate absorb while falling off the level. Then you can just run around while shooting yourself with a Penta or whatever.

At times, I wish I had a use for all my broken components. I've mastered enough weapons that building new stuff is a rare pleasure, so I can stockpile plenty of Fieldrons/Detonite/MutagenMasses just by running the invasions now and then. Which means that the thousands of little Fieldron Samples and Detonite Ampules in my inventory are basically junk.

Well that's a nice one stop ride to disappointment then. Speaking of disappointment and annoyance, literally the first bloody mission I do without my Nekors and BAM the stupid stalker finally shows up and does he have my order right? No of course not! He brought me another drat Despair, I want Hate you stupid bastard! I have warehouses full of Despair and Dread but no Hate. Dammit I also forgot to take his picture before sticking him to the wall with my Paris. Oh and I know I just said yesterday how 90% of all dojo weapons are all awful but for some reason I am really starting to like the Acrid. I haven't any idea why, it's damage isn't great or anything, I just like it. Edit: Wow they gave Teno in the rail attack a loot table, I just got Berserker and 2 Rage from one run.

I've got an Akbolto,an Akvasto and an Akmagnus, should I just sell them all and get a Marelok? The only one of those three that I have that I actually like and put a potato into was the Akbolto, and I've had that since update 8 or something. Edit: Should I bother making a Detron? I've heard that it's mediocre and I only have the parts due to two random encounters with the invasion in a pubby group.

Why hold on to weapons you don't like, or get rid of weapons you do? Just keep on making more stuff and selling whatever isn't to your liking. Past a certain point mastery is pointless, but the actual game is pretty much just playing around with different ways to kill dudes. More guns = more ways to kill dudes even if you don't keep them long term.

I haven't any idea why, it's damage isn't great or anything, I just like it. Acrid is fantastic. It's not the kills-all-the-things utterly broken powerhouse that it once was, but I'd say it's a solid second place behind Marelok and Brakk/Detron. The key thing about Acrid is every shot has a 100% status proc for Toxic, on top of the listed status chance for its actual damage types. Throw on an Electric mod, and the main shot will do Corrosive damage (i.e. death to Grineer), but the shots are still guaranteed to proc the Toxin dot which ignores shields (i.e. death to Corpus).

The only one of those three that I have that I actually like and put a potato into was the Akbolto, and I've had that since update 8 or something. IMO, never sell a weapon unless you find that you absolutely hate it, or you're out of slots and NEED MASTERY NOW. (Sell some mods for plat, or throw $10 at the game, and buy a bajillion slots.) Not only are slots a fairly cheap usage of plat, but DE has a bad tendency to rebalance old lovely weapons and make them awesome. The Detron is mediocre damage-wise -- by default, it's solid against Grineer and junk against Corpus. The Marelok is far more flexible. The Detron HAS been useful for me in the past, though -- it deals Radiation damage by default, and has a 10% base status chance. Throw a couple of +status mods on it, and you have a reasonable chance of inflicting confusion status with every pellet. ullerrm fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Apr 24, 2014 |
