Enough with the "weapon racism"

[Alexri]

I have 251 slots, of which probably 120 are taken by mods, the rest by weapons. I should start keeping more semi-good weapons, I just prioritize mods and space for farming. Actually made an app just to keep track of all those mods, getting a bit ridiculous

Just goes to show how much like lemmings/sheep the populace is. Instead of checking for themselves they simply follow the crowd.

This is my only legendary



I'll take it over your sh*tty greens any day. And who cares about the synergy anyway, noone bothers to grind the mods.

I had a north star with the exact same stats except the exp bonus, which was 1.05 dmg, and Syphon nano, for a couple months. Recently traded it since I thought someone else should enjoy its greatness.
Now I'm using a Blue Assassin Northstar that gets better crit damage but with +4 mag instead of +8. One shots Dark Matter Snipers.

melee damage is pointless unless you want to use blur and in this "phantom" dlc ever becomes a reality...........


Then any melee addon... will be pointless as dirt...... because of the charge blades

BTW green weapons suck...

Tree is

White
Green
Blue

if you honestly thing green is so hot... you better stick with the white weapons....

Hard to tell but I don't think so. Think he's mostly oblivious

While I 100% agree with your general point Alexri (that green big boomer that you gave me is my main weapon in PvP), I feel like for every "color racist" out there, there's also one "uniformist", who will claim that color does not matter at all (usually to support a claim that Trion created a crappy loot system). JxSiN's post and Mav's guide are good reminders of why and how color does affect loot quality.

It should also be noted that some weapons are more affected than others by the extra bonus rolls that come with higher rarity. While all EGO > 1800 AR and SMG, no matter their color, get an extra bonus that is often very good, other weapons don't. The tier 3 bonus and the higher xp roll therefore have a proportionally higher impact on the gun's power. And some of the tier 2 bonuses are actually very useful on some specific weapons (EGO recharge on reload for sawed-offs or rocket launchers, speed boost on explosive kills for detonators, etc.).

OFC, I certainly never meant to suggest that weapon quality doesn't matter. My point is that you can wait until the end of time to get that insanly unlikely legendary weapon that actually has the bonuses you want, and still not get anything better than the green you threw away because it was green.

Number one reason to be a color racist is lack of inventory space. If you can't even get through a co-op mission without filling up your bags, you just stop caring about what the weapon says. It gets 2 seconds of determination towards whether or not it's worth keeping, then it's salvaged. I know for a fact that I have salvaged amazing weapons, but purely because I would have to hold onto them until I could find a buyer. Which restricts the possibility of getting amazing weapons I actually want.
