Nobody wants to die except the suicides. They're no fun.
You can map either weapon's normals and weapon actions in addition to PAs and using other skills, too. So you can get both Rifle and Launcher WAs going. If you have WA mapped to a button (I use Q which is the bottom-left back paddle on my controller) then the button will use whichever form your weapon was last in, so rifle grenade after blight round but the launcher sticky bomb after you use a launcher PA. I might have to put both WAs on my subpalette so I don't have to think about that.

Multiweapons are pretty neat since you always have access to a weapon's normal and WA whether or not it's for your class; mw a Talis or Launcher for some PP regen on WA, or I've seen Wired Lance used to bolt its WA gap closer onto any class's kit.

Some weird edge cases exist though like if you're a Fo/non-Te and have a Wand primary / Rod secondary, the game won't allow you to add techs to your palette but you can still add them to the subpalette. IIRC this isn't the case if you for whatever reason were Fo/anything and had a non-tech primary/Rod secondary, the system just assumes if the primary form is a tech weapon that techs will be cast using the primary form. But if you temporarily sub Te then you can add them to the palette and they'll cast fine from there when you swap subclasses back.

The Glissen weapons can be bought from the seasonal vendor (same as the seasonal quest npc) for 10,000 season points. No idea if they drop in the wild. The two weekly seasonal quests to do the Pettas Vera EQ and kill 5 seasonal rappies will give you more than enough for one weapon. Otherwise you can grind seasonal points off of marked mobs including veterans and gigas.

Odd question, but is anyone else having an issue with symbol art? I can't seem to see any I use or any other people use. I tried fiddling with the "Display other People's Symbol Art" setting but it didn't seem to help.

I'm more incline to believe the reason being porn SAs, because it happened around the time streamers started doing sponsored streams of the game, and having SAs of anime pussy would be a bad look. Granted I'm sure the behind the scenes folks probably had the foresight to disable them before hand but still

Other than dailies and UQs, it really is the best way to gain EXP.

Resola works too. People seem to forget about it because it lacks a rank 2 version but it's still lv15 enemies. Useful if youre a caster and need nex souls and resol notes

Do bad guys have elemental resistances or just weaknesses? In other words, will using a lightning weapon ever be a handicap? And is there a trick to finding Rappy or do they just kinda show up sometimes?

There's no resistances.
The lightning weapons should be slightly weaker than existing 4* weapons against most enemies (since they're only 3*) but better against lightning-weak ones.

If you are hunting Rappys for the weekly quest it is possible to "Focus" the quest which will put a marker on the minimap/HUD if you are around 300 or closer to a Rappy. I basically just ran PSE Bursts in Mt Magnus for a bit and every few E markers I would see there is a group of Rappys a bit further off.

Thank you both. It also looks like I'm accruing XP even though my class is level 20, so I guess I can get a head start against the raised level cap when it comes.

When you fill that XP bar you get a Cube(tm). It's used to unlock the highest level of weapon potentials.

the lightning weapons also drop randomly (i'm pretty sure from the special mobs but with the chaos of burst trains not 100% sure) so if you want to pick them up I'd maybe wait until near the end of the event to see if you get drops of the ones you want before spending event currency

You can buy some of the lightning weapons for less than their actual cost on the market.

I got a wire for 20k monies. 10k SP gets you ~33k of monies.

I got one from a seasonal veteran, so they at least drop from those

Gigantix-Related Adjustments
Gigantix will no longer retreat after the thunderstorm ends, as long as the battle continues.
In addition, we have confirmed a bug where weather changes do not occur completely randomly, so we will correct this as well.

Adjustments to Enemy HP Changes Based on the Number of Players
The formula that increases the enemy’s HP depending on the number of players will no longer count players with damage attenuation (reduced damage dealt due to the difference in levels between them and the enemy).
*This applies to all enemies whose HP changes depending on the number of players.
If a player experiences damage attenuation, they will only be able to inflict “1” damage to the enemy.

Furthermore, specifications will be changed so that even if the target enemy is defeated, players with damage attenuation will not receive any item or meseta drops, not gain EXP or Seasonal Points, and players who experience damage attenuation will not have it count towards their task progress.

We are working on these measures for the upcoming update. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

It should just be based on attack or battle power, though, not class level.
It's really weird that the only "requirement" to do stuff like urgent quests or high-rank zones is 1184 bp, so a level 11-or-lower player who hit that bp just by getting good gear and lots of skill points instead of by leveling up will be able to get past the requirement but won't be able to actually scratch any of the level 15 enemies inside.
