They decreased the damage of my pistol by 60% D:

"Mook" is a derogatory term for another person. It is not a specific thing in this or any game.

Ah ok, well I think the reload rate should be increased on these guns now, as they will probably be worthless. Will have to test them fully myself when I get the patch, but they don't sound to great compared to other pistols any more.

What's a mook in game btw, can't think of them and you said it takes up to 4 shots now.

"Mook" mobs, lesser enemies, trash AI, A.K.A non boss units likes Raiders. And I didn't say now, it USED to take 2-4 shots to kill them! Now I don't know, as I sold the gun as soon as I managed to get back in game.

1000 to 486 is a 51.4% nerf.... Not 60%

I'm not good at math, my brain saw a 10 and 4, that makes 6 for me.

On a flip side, they did buff the crit multiplier from 2.5 to 3

I always 1 shotted mooks, though probably cause I'm good at getting headshots with it. And those which don't die immediately dies to the combined Flare DoT and fire DoT..

They only nerfed the base damage, they were always about the DOT really. (Last I saw it ticks for around 105)

[Saber024]

what the hey is the name of that +12 Mag mod?

Exactly. It still puts out nice damage with the DoTs, especially considering it is AoE vs every other pistol being single target. The ability to add +mag mods to it did make it OP. I did that back in Alpha as well and knew as soon as I started using it that it would need to be nerfed.

It can easily do the same damage to several targets in an area that any other pistol is only capable of doing to 1 target. Even now, witht he base damage nerf, it will still achieve more overall damage than other pistols when fighting groups. It isnt really the type of gun that is intended to just destroy individual targets, but rather spread a decent amount of damage around to multiple targets.

Mine one shots dark matter mooks based soley off of the flare dot. It's white and doesn't have any elements lol

Then again I'm on PS3...

[WeirdManBoy]

Any idea if the explosives skills are fixed for these? If not, I'm probably throwing them away for regular pistols then. No point in using explosives if you can't proc the skills efficiently.
