What is the difference between pre and post patch couriers? I have a few oldies...

[CPA]

I got these between day one and June of 2013. What is the difference? One of the ones I have is below - can you tell if pre or post?

VBI SO-2 Courier
EGO 2184
All mod spots opened
Assassin
6% refresh self-revive on kill
1.15 crit mult
200% melee dmg 5 seconds after self-revive
1.10 fire rate

2185 DMG
1.6 ROF
2 Mag
.9 Reload
4.5 Acc.
0.00 Bloom


Any idea what a pre-patch blue would be worth or this one above? I realize the melee rolls aren't optimal.

It is pre-patch for a couple reasons. It has the dreaded 200% melee on self-revive roll. And, if this is a Legendary, it is missing a roll. Post patch legendarys have 6 rolls.

The weapons patch came in Sept or Oct 2013. You have pre-patch weapons. Those stupid self-revive rolls are gone from the game. Your weapons obtained prior to Sept 2013, save for 5-roll ARs are basically worth salvage you get for scrapping them.

If your courier was a post-patch courier it would have a total of 6 bonus rolls. Plus none of the wasteful self-revive crap that you have. Yes, everything you obtained from day one and June 2013 is garbage compared to current weapons of the same rarity.

Well that's a little harsh, isn't it? Plus, I have gotten some real crap legendaries since. Just without that self-revive mastery nonsense. But they're still crap, just for new reasons.

Couriors no longer get fire rate rolls and they don't have nanos either, if you got legendary with nice nano they may be worth something, especially if it originally got a x1.15 mag XP roll cause now that's +8 mag

It may be, but sometimes the truth is a harsh mistress. The weapon shown here is worse than a "decently rolled" post-patch epic courier.

I take no offense and appreciate honesty, thanks for clarifying. I'll end up tossing it or handing it to someone I see in full blues one of these days. I rarely inspect people so honestly it may just hoard space. It was my first legendary so there's a little bit of nostalgia there.

I've got a pre-patch courier. It has a radiation nano on it.

Personally I love Couriers. People think I'm crazy when I say this but I like how pre patch couriers shoot verses post patch. Yeah better and more rolls on them but they just don't feel right lol. I have currently a mil bounty (over at xbox na server) on a pre patch with double ego on reload with a nano. I have one now that is fire that I still use in pvp and a syphon one with one ego on reload (and no selfies thank god) that I use. I've tried the new ones (post patch) but I just don't like them. The Courier is my favorite gun but now they are totally coming out with useless rolls on them. Accruacy is a useless roll and unless you can do a perfect shot (in the head in pvp or a crit spot on an npc) crit multi is useless too. Idk I honestly believe they messed up muh favorite gun in this game. But that's ok I still have my "sparky".

I pretty much with double couriers and overcharge and in a close-range map (no shadow wars) I usually rock between a 2.0 to anywhere from an all-time high of 8.0. It's unfair but then again before I got the DLC all of the charged weapons against my pre-DLC weapons wasn't fair. There, I justified it.

There is just something cruel about two sticky grenades fired back-to-back. The only comparable thing I can think of after killing the infector and running away only to see that last sliver of health dropping to zero once the last infector bug drops off you... and then you respawn...
