Dread owns, you won't regret putting time, a potato and forma into it. Mod it for crits(of course) and you'll see silly red numbers.

How many ducats have the weapons been with the past couple of void traders? I've never been and the new Gorgon sounds like something I want, especially if they've changed a lot of the visual/audio aspects.

What's the deal with all the pubbies running around with only melee weapons? I'm mostly using them to level for mastery and coptering around the place, because they seem pretty useless compared to shooting people in the face. I feel I'm missing something.

If you only have one weapon equipped it gains affinity faster.

Dread is apparently good as far as bows go but it has the same problem they all have. You're using a slow chargeup weapon against hordes of small poo poo that will die if you just look at them funny. There are instances where lots of enemies will charge at you single file or you need to put out the big crits but those are few and far between and you're generally better off just using something that's fully automatic or at least burst fire capable. And that's why I hate sniper rifles, revolvers, and bows in this game.

I know. It still feels like gimping yourself on purpose, thus me wondering if they are really awesome and I should actually bother to use them instead of carpet bombing everything with an Attica/Penta.

Apparently there are more good melee weapons than the last time i started playing, but not like a ton more or anything.

I really like the Redeemer and the Jat Killag and they definitely at least feel awesome, and i highly anticipate Galatine Prime

Of course, getting stance mods is a pain in the rear end which sucks

Gleaming Talon is a rare stance mod that drops off of Leech Ospreys, which are somehow rarer than Oxium Ospreys, and Sapping Ospreys, which drop jack-all in all the time I've been killing the poo poo out of them. There's a reason Gleaming Talon's rare as hell.

When I was even more of a newbie someone gave me Gleaming Talon for a core or some other stance in the clan, so maybe ask around!

Because you are gimping yourself. I haven't leveled a weapon that way in ages, I have one that's maxed and modded that i use and the rest are poo poo I'm carrying for leveling. It's slower but it doesn't make me want to kill myself so I consider it worth it. Or go all out and do void defense as a Mesa with completely unranked weapons 'cause you're not gonna use 'em anyway.

Tetra is sort of like a Boltor but silent so it isn't all that bad. I don't really get why people don't like it because it's a perfectly viable weapon.

I like the Tetra just fine. It's not a particularly exciting weapon in the grand scheme of things, but it's a perfectly serviceable alternative to something like the Karak or Boltor as a post-Braton "what next" gun.

Its damage is pretty weak and the bullets have travel time. It looks nice and has a good sound effect and the reloading animation is also nifty so use it up if you enjoy the style. With a few Forma it can be a pretty good weapon. I personally like the Dera more because of the laser spam.

There was the Mara Detron, but that was such a minor upgrade to a already rather lame gun I don't blame you for forgetting it. It costed 500 Ducats and 200k credits

The Dera is objectively worse though. Yeah it fires faster but it does less damage per shot and the magazine is smaller. Which is a shame because it's a nice looking gun.

Mostly, yeah. There have been a few additions since I last updated it, but nothing that should affect the newbie experience too much. If you have any questions that don't seem to be covered, feel free to ask 'em here or in clan chat once you have access.

There's an achievement for completing 10 missions with only a melee weapon equipped. It gives you nothing other than a message saying you completed it. It's not even in the Steam achievements, just on your profile in game.

There's at least 20 people at all times in clan, bunch more in alliance. There are of course times when not much happens but you'll always find people for alerts and it's rare that you can't really get at least someone for void poo poo.

He's talking about PC, btw. They mentioned account transfers in the last devstream, but I wasn't watching, so I don't know if they meant only PC -> console (as in the past) or either way.

It's fine vs hordes of stuff as long as you put vile accel or gunslinger in it. A big thing is you don't have to charge it much at all to instakill stuff.

You can play with anybody. You can go to high level missions and get carried and get a lot of experience and loot. This is highly recommended.
