    I found a green FRC Saw that I named the Golgothan as it's got the Bio nano on it.

    The best SAW I have currently is a 1.15x Crit Multiplier bonus and 2% crit modifier while crouching bonus SAW with a Fire Nano Proc. The crits are a beastly 750+ in most cases. I currently use a Rank 2 Recoil Stock, Rank 2 Power Barrel, and Rank 2 Ammo Capacity for it. I have a Rank 3 Ammo Capacity that I'm sitting on as well.

    I've noticed ranking up in EGO that the vendor SAWs naturally upgrade. For example at 500 they were blank SAWs with no nano effect on the vendor. At 750 they turned to Biological (including the Frontier SAW in Toolworks). At 1000 they went back to blank nano effect SAWs. I imagine they will change again at 1250.

    The most ideal SAW I could imagine would be:

    1.25x Clip (base mod)
    1.xx Crit Modifier (base mod)
    15% Grenade Refresh on Kill OR 25% of stowed clip on kill. (special base mod)

    Preparedness Synergy (base synergy) (1% ammo regen)
    Preparedness Power Power Bore (modification) (2% ammo regen)
    Precision High Capacity Magazine (modification) (10% accuracy)
    Precision Recoil Stock (modification) (20% accuracy)

    If I went with a Scope I'd probably want it to be Grenadier for the -10% recoil as well.


    The toolworks one will work for now (waiting to see if there's a new proc at 1250 and hoping it isn't biological cause the noise is super annoying), but the 200% melee after revive is a huge waste and the rest of the base modifiers are fairly mediocre. The only really redeeming value is the 1% ammo regen synergy.

    I may grab the Toolworks' purple SAW when I have the faction creds even though I do not like the synergy. Until I happen on a purple+ SAW with assasins# synergy and electrical or sypon, I'll just grab a green one from one of the vendors.

    Is there any alternative for the 2 scopes? I dont like the massive zoom on the weapon, believe called Tactical and Commando (assault?), but there isnt any other scope-mod that doesnt change the zoom?

    Commando doesn't actually increase the zoom very much and is the most basic zoom type. The problem I had with it was that it didn't zoom enough and I ended up seeing nothing but gun fire out of it while aiming lol...I really hate the scopes in this game. Wish they'd add in a basic rail or something that doesn't obscure 80% of the screen.

    I'm almost at 400 EGO and still use my starter LMG as a Machinist. lol

    I haven't grinded rep yet for contracts but so far I haven't looted anything better.

    Call me crazy but i actually like the EMC LMG. It doesn't have the raw damage output of a SAW but the bloom is MUCH smaller than the SAW which makes me more accurate.

    Now with that said if I find some decent LMG mods I'll probably go back to the SAW.

    the EMC can really only compete if you are unable to control the recoil of the saw, which tbh isnt that difficult.

    Stabilisation sight is similar to Commando and works quite well too. The bad ones are Precision and assault, they have the blue clutter and high zoom.

    Make sure to use a fresh LMG as soon as your current one is max level. You can buy green ones from vendors that are at least as good as the starting one.

    That would be a drool worthy weapon.
