Since my respec to Master Riflemen (which I'm very happy with) I've been scouring the galaxy for good rifles. So far it seems my berserker rifle (made with grade A materials and gorax bone shards) is the weakest (though its still a kinetic rifle so it may have some uses against the likes of Nightsisters). Second comes the T21 which I thought was pretty good until stumbled onto an advanced laser rifle which only slightly rivals the T21.Krusshyk wrote:The rifle is pretty good, but it's not the best out there. There are a lot of T-21's out there with higher Damage and faster speeds...the only real boon for the DC 15 is the special action costs. It is like 94 or something...around 10 lower than most of the other rifles. It can help with your HAM management a little better while still dealing a good amount of damage.
But I have yet to see the carbine. I hear it is only so-so as far as carbines go, but the fact that no one is going after it makes it quite rare.
Most likely they will end up as house decorations.
This really means the rifles haven't changed much from before. The Laser rifle was always the higher damage weapon but the T21 was more effective with its speed. In truth DPS does not matter as much for Riflemen as it does for other professions because they simply want to do the most damage possible with one or two shots, no matter how long they take to fire.
So I hope this new one stacks up. I'll know for sure tonight. If folks are interested I'll post the modified DPS this gives a Master Rifleman (though some of you may already be one).
