Weapon stats, question from a new player

[Buckly]

Hey everybody,

I am a new player, and have a few questions. I have of course searched here and google for answers, and after reading many posts I am still no better off. From what I found the answers come from the player base and nothing from the dev's. I mean no offense but one will make claims and another will state that its wrong and make another claim but none show source. Just what they have been told or found to be true for them, but not once have I seen a dev reply(maybe I missed the post).

So how do weapon stats work? Is there a post(didnt see any thing in the stickies). So where can I find a correct break down on how the ratings work? How can some weapons have high accuracy but a mod gives it a -.30 as an improvment? Bloom some say its the spread, some say the sight width. Also I have read claims that they differ from weapon types, and others say the devs have no idea themselves(not a bash I am just showing the confusion). I would love a break down of how all stats work and if they change from weapon types.

If I master a AR carbine, and get another on a drop but higher level or rarity do I have to remaster it, or only if I get an ar heavy carbine?

For skill in a weapon I read you have to use all different types. One said if I master one type like an ar carbine, I then have to use a different type to raise my skills in AR in general.

Also is there a way to change sights on weapons to be like iron sights or crosshairs? On the AR-216 Gladiator they have what I would call Iron sight , but the AR Heavy carbine come with what looks like the tactical sight, and when I put on the commando it still looked like the tactical

So can I be directed to a post/page by the devs that break this all down? If not could I get a CM to direct this to the devs for an offical answer and maybe a stcky?

Thank you for your time and if I missed a link post on this, sorry Im a little slow at times.

That reminds me I did start on a page on DD but never finished it. @Community shall we get the list sorted once and for all? http://www.defiancedata.com/statdescriptions.php

Yes, you master using a single weapon.

http://www.defiancedata.com/skills.php are the different types of skills you can master, you can use any weapon you want that belong to the group without changing it out. Even after you master the weapon you still earn experience towards the skill line. Of course some models are just better at leveling, courier sawed-off shotguns I'm looking at you.

Thanks for your post, and the site.

Ps3? Well then you can try the Wildcards. I'm not on Ps3 myself but Copperpot does seem like a nice guy.

or try the Ps3 clans page since I am sure there are plenty of clans out there that are good, his was just the first one I remembered.

I will try there again. I posted to one clan there and even tried to contact several members via the PSN and to players in game but no one bothered to answer me. The wildcards seem ok, but I am looking for a group that works together and uses voice chat. So not trying to sound rude they might not have what I am looking for in a clan. I like to work together and use voice chat in game. And from what some of the posts say I dont want to chase after members to get that experiance. And please that me say I mean no offense by this, not trying to flame anyone. I may miss understand the posts.

Thank you all again

Nope not mean. You just want the group experience of a clan. I am sure there is one for you somewhere. Just keep looking. I had a hard time finding one I like. Now I have found 2. Good thing they are on different servers. lol
