Yeah, I couldn't think of any either
so why do I get 2 melee stocks and 0 ERR stocks in all the ST boxes?
The melee stock on an assault weapon is the biggest waste of a mod slot, and its only in the game to dilute the drops players actually need.
I think I bought something like 8-9 boxes, not one ERR stock, and half the weapons in the box are assault.
Unlucky draw maybe? No need to start a thread to complain about -.-
I long time ago I thought of an idea to help melee stocks be viable. Here it is.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Melee Stocks and giving them meaning. By making them capable of knocking enemies off their feet.
Players already have means of knocking enemies down with the use of hitting them with a Car or shooting them with a Bull Rush pistol. Mechanics for things to react to a knock down effect are in the game, its just they are not used alot. So why not have it so that Melee Stocks equipped on a gun could have a chance to do the same? The same knock down effect would occur to those who are vulnerable to it while a flinch effect would be caused to the larger scale enemies vulnerable to it.
With this Melee Stocks would still give the same damage multipliers but also add a % for knockdown effect chance to occur.
White tier Melee Stock Mods would give a 5% chance. Green would give a 10%. Blue 15%. Purple 20%. Orange 25%.
Also the lack luster Brutal Synergy that no one likes would read as.
[1]: +5% Melee DMG and +2% knock down effect.
[2]: +10% Melee DMG and +3% knock down effect.
[3]: +5% Reload on a melee kill and +4% knock down effect.
[4]: +10% Reload on a melee kill and +6% knock down effect.
So all in all a player is capable getting up to a 40% knock down effect from melee bunting someone with the combination of a Orange tier melee stock and fully unlocked Brutal Synergy. That's something worth putting together.
Also there could even be Cyber Chips to add to these %'s. Blue Chips would be +0.5%. Purple +1.0%. Orange +1.5%. Allowing it to reach beyond 45% and really getting in the field of having a knock down effect from every other hit.
This all would give Melee bunting and most of all Melee Stock mods some actual use. And make them measure up to Recoil Stocks in terms of choice. Just as Damage Barrels are to Crit Barrels.
Brutal syn is a trash like many vanile.
Also melee dmg stock is a ticket to atism (not for Detonators, coz it dont have any other)
Its the utter uselessness of the stock itself that bothers me more than anything, and the fact that much like crap masteries are in the game to encourage AF sink, melee stocks are in the game to waste a drop in the loot tables.Quote:

They should give them some recoil reduction, but maybe just not as much as a ERR. Other then that there vendor fodder.
If you are a dedicated Overcharge user like myself then you really don't need to worry about recoil anyway. Besides when all the err stocks are gone the mele stocks will be worth their weight in gold. I'm just recently after 2 years finding my f key and have discovered it can help tremendously.
May we should look at your posts? Why do you play defiance again? It seems to be a horrible game for you, since constant complaining :) Just tired to read the same things day for day.Quote:

I've found them to make the gun look bad ***** on smgs that have little to no recoil already.
