The problem with that Kronen skin is that it's a Kronen. Not a bad weapon but the Boltace exists.

I kinda like the look of the Kronen better, honestly. Boltace might be better, but "lets glue some bones to it!" type of aesthetic never much appealed to me.

The Boltace looks like some fan-con H R Geiger garbage. gently caress those things. And the Kronen, gently caress those too. Can't we just get some nice, bludgeoning tonfa, please?

Joke's on you, even if you have the syandana it'll only stay lit if you play conclave and finish the daily/weekly challenges. Otherwise it's just an ugly lump of metal on your back :suicide:

I for one dislike the tonkor but mostly because I've been burned too many times by it skittering between Grineers' tiny stick legs instead of exploding and then going boom harmlessly behind them when I could have had a fine mist of clone blood <:mad:>

I have the same problem. My FPS instincts kick in and I am compelled to shoot my exploder gun at the bad guy's feet. The only thing that makes me feel better is rocket jumping off their faces.

How crucial/helpful is the projectile speed mod on the Tonkor? I looked through my mods and realized I somehow don't have it despite doing a million T1/3 Sabs.

On it's own, it just makes the grenades go farther. Probably not worth using. If you have a Zephyr, though, and get the Turbulence augment, and crank up power strength to 175%, it makes tonkor shots explode on impact.

With regards to PS4 clans, are there multiple goon ones? Reading through the thread 'definitely the corpus' seems to be the main one. I asked for an invite in the thread a while back, and joined the clan LLJK. Are these part of the same alliance?

I ask because I often find I'm the only one online, or at most one or two others. Could be time zones not working out, as I'm in England and tend to play in the evening.

Fine, I'll forma my Tonkor for a critbuild. Anyone have their setup on hand so I know which mods to use/obtain? I was right about not having Adhesive Blast.

I'm currently on lunch break at work, so I can't take a screenshot of my Tonkor build at the moment. From memory, though, this is what I currently have in my Tonkor:

1. Split Chamber
2. Serration
3. Stormbringer
4. Infected Clip
5. Point Strike
6. Vital Sense
7. Hammer-shot
8. Fast Hands

Serration and Fast Hands aren't at their maximum levels, just as an FYI. Also, please don't take this as some optimized Tonkor build. This is just what I run with at the moment.

I have pretty much the exact same build for my Tonker but I switched Fast Hands for Bladed Rounds (which I love).

I have no idea how to get it above 100% crit like the one guy said to do however, even with Critical Delay it only goes to 89% or so. I'd use Argon Scope to get into Red Crit territory but I'm horrible with head shots on the Tonker.

Tonkor will "head-shot" things most of the time anyway as long as some enemy gets hit by the balls or steps on them.

Also predicting some kind of shoulder wing that grows brighter with how many raids you complete per week (if not needing to be refreshed daily).

You can take it to the bank, something like that will happen.

By "insanely well balanced" you meant to say "will eat you alive because the obsessives have already settled in and learned the best weapons and tactics to use on each possible map." Hope this helps.

Tag the little button in the bottom right of the pvp mode select screen so you get matched up with people of your own rank.

I just don't really like it because it feels twitchy. It's like I'm playing a really slippery AC4A. I also don't like how energy is at a premium. I know, I know that's good game design because powers can be OP as poo poo but it feels super awkward.

Realtalk: As long as Conclave stays its own thing and they don't try and force regular players into engaging with it regardless of their personal preference I'm 100% cool with it. PvP just isn't my cup of tea, but I'm glad it's there for people who enjoy that sort of thing and that it's been improving steadily. (Or so I'm told, at least)

I suspect most of the people giving Conclave poo poo in this thread feel similarly.

And I see Tallgeese is one of those Tenno… liberals. I hope you'll be happy once the entire system is full of Grineer, sir. You are no credit to Space Mom, I'll tell you that much.
