I don't get what the devs were thinking with some weapons and mods.

And now the PVE in this game suffers from it due to the poor design choices.

You guys should atleast give them some time for another balance pass or two. I am fairly certain they know the problems with some guns in pve and or pvp. I would wager a guess that things will change for the better on both fronts after the first big content update.

While yes there do seem to be some crappy weapons out there, I think most complaints come from people reading the crappy tooltips for the weapons. I've found some cool weapons just because I took them out on a test fire run, if I had just read the tooltip it would have been scrapped.

Trion needs to clean up the weapon tooltips and explain what the stats mean, also nowhere does it tell you how to manually detonate rockets or grenades. Also many times you don't know if a weapon is a single fire, semi-auto, or auto fire weapon until it is equiped. (I had found a great AR stat wise went to go test fire it was semi-auto, it sucked bad)

What I would love to see in a wiki or site is a breakdown of all the weapons stat wise that have been found in game (just the base stats listed for a common version of that weapon) with discription and maybe even a picture. Hopefully someday!

For the detonate thing, there is a decent sized popup that shows up that says "PRESS R TO DETONATE". It may or may not be in all caps, but every time I see it I get slightly irked because I already know since it told me the other 3903947393 times I have fired a det/rocket.

Except it's not 6, it's 3. So it's 120 damage with a decent proc chance. Or I use a gun with 440 damage, kill the monster 3x as fast and not even need to worry about the proc at all.

That's the part that kills me. I can have a shotgun that does 162x12 damage or one that does 45x12. Who's picking the 45x12 one? Why would I take the assault rifle that does 202 damage when I can have one that does 400? I don't need a weaker weapon that might cause a status more often when I can have a gun 2-3x stronger and just kill the enemy.

I used to think that way as well. Iys because of DPS (damage per second) I have 2 shotguns, one does 162x12 and the other does 90x12. I pretty much only use the 90x12 one. It shoots twice as fast, and reloads in one clip, as opposed to one at a time. The end result is WAY more DPS, even tho its less damage. Same with ALL weapons in this game.....the sawed off shotguns do 2000, but im not about to use them because the DPS is junk.

Yeah, but the sawed off are almost the literal definition of burst damage so it is somewhat unfair to lump them into any dps talk. That being stated, I prefer the pump shotguns over combat shotguns. Bird shot is quite nice in pvp if you have a shotgun that does fire or bio. I have noticed however that birdshot falls flat in pve against hellbugs and arkfalls in general.

my issue is obvious buggy descriptions / bonus on weapons

have 1 BMG single target longer range and specifically says does not link but farther down in bonus spot it says -. (point) something link time

LOL obvious flaw bug

Oh and BMG sight mod slot? never seen nor found a sight mod for a BMG. Do they even exist? if so then will just keep grinding for but if they dont then why does this mod slot even open on a BMG = waste of green arc tech

[Hummy]

Read the first paragraph and deem the OP an idiot. Them smg's are incredible with a bit of accuracy that one clip is a death sentence for most basic mobs and players in pvp.

Never seen the popup, especially on Rocket Launchers.

Never seen the popup, especially on Rocket Launchers.

I see it every time i use a detonator or mass cannon.

Hmm. might be a bug then, because I don't see them.
