    The Beacon prototype needs a major buff

    even if all your shot are crits, the thing does very pitful damage, being outclassed by most guns and not having a disadvantage ontop of it.

    What's the power level of the version you're using?


    Have you enhanced the gun to be a higher level to get more damage out of it?

    Isn't the Beacon's low damage just the result of it being Quantum? If I'm not mistaken, Quantum has an extremely heavy penalty against every health type.
    Defiance is gone. Gamigo has been "not neglecting" the game for over a year, yet there's nothing new except for low effort arkfalls and bitshop items.
    I know it might be hard to quit a game you loved for years but you have to understand that it won't get better. Ever. If you like the game in it's current state, then sure, keep playing it. You're enjoying yourself after all. But if you aren't, don't hope for a better future for Defiance. Because it won't come.

    Is it? I don't know for sure because my pursuit is broke so I couldn't unlock it. Maybe the ticket will be resolved by the time I get home. IDK.


    But if it is quantum or one of the types that deal less damage to HP, then that would probably be why it under performs? OP is giving bread crumbs for details though. OP - you are 2.7 power and it's 23 or 25 in level. Where is it underperforming? Vs Armor? Vs Shields? Vs HP?

    No I think its genuinely bugged. The description says the third shot out of the burst would do massive damage if the first 2 hit the target.. So far using this. Its the same poor poor damage with every bullet... And sometimes I even get a 0 to pop as my damage... So yes no damage as well with some shots... fun huh? It needs a big buff and fix.

    Quantum rounds are basically good against targets that have shields and health, so long as their shields are intact. A portion of the damage bypasses shields and does bonus damage directly to the enemy health bar. However, it does less damage to the shields, and once the shields are gone, it does less damage to health.

    Quantum is best used against targets with high shield capacity and low health capacity. Mainly Volge visceras and Dark Matter Bulwarks. In theory it works good against all dark matter and volge troopers as troopers as well, but the differences between their shield and health bar capacity is nowhere near as that of a Bulwark or Viscera IMO.
