[R#201] (FAST) Rifles are very under powered (At least at low levels)

I noticed that I been naturally sticking to things like 7.62mm rifles and shotgun ones and I just never bothered with assault even though I tried them multiple times and I never really knew why I always thought ohh it shoots so many shots at once so that has to be why and I miss maybe too much... But then I did some basic math and found out that is not the case at all and far from it.

I give you a Lazar Rifle (Crappy Stats):

If you do that math that is 26.83 DPS

I give you a Artifact Mendicant Rifle (Perfect Stats):

This comes to 17.05dps....

The winner is the crappy t2 rifle vs the t6 I can't use yet... Okay maybe bad example next character?



This time a Shotgun with 12% more damage and range But it's 4tl's under the Archer Companion Rifle.

DPS: 55.1

Now for the rifle:

DPS: 26.91

That is insane difference.


Screw that lets get the big guns out... 99% across the board Gatlin Gun vs this crappy 2TL higher bad rifle... Lets do the rifle first.

Have you seen Aegirs latest post on weapon caps and weapons of higher levels vs. weapons of lower levels (involving your skills) ? ;)

https://forum.neocron-game.com/showt...=1#post2236580

Ahh No I did not though I have to be a lot higher level to actually compare I guess low level things. But your saying if I was say really high rank with most my points put into rifles it should be able even then?

That might work out I guess on Paper but when leveling it would never work out and no capped out person going use a TL 10 weapon because now they get equal damage :P

As it goes no matter what and will see if it changes but no matter what I do no rapid fire rifle will compete against a shotgun or slower shooting rifle period. I doubt that can or will even change even with buffed skills/maxed out skills at that TL by the time it could even match up you be on the next TL slow rifle.

I will post more here down the road when I'm way higher level but as it is now assault rifles suck their not enjoyable because of the lack damage and I can't see myself using one at all at this point.

If someone who is maxed out can maybe buy couple low level weapons and show their damage it might help get better idea but the point here is more about leveling. It would just ruin all weapon at low levels forever.

My guess is, that there is a bug regarding weapon quality.

It seems, that the quality has no influence at all.

Can we get a clarification on this issue please?

Do you mean something like this?
https://forum.neocron-game.com/showt...en-Store-Items

From others it sounds like it's right though last night in the game to some it sounded really broken? I really don't know though.

This seems to be a problem specifically with burst modes?!

Also the frequency does not seem to be an updated value in the item description! so any theorycrafting with these values maybe doomed from the start.

Can we have clarification on the Last part?

I was wrong.

Quality does matter.

I built a TL5 Standard Street Rifle (outstanding) and compared it to a shop bought (bad) one.
The "outstanding" rifle is better.
