things are going well except for the probably common gripe of not finding great at level on spec weapons due to the diablo'ish loot system. Got this game last week and have a soldier who is on playthrough 2. I really want to love a six shot incendiary revolver but it also doesn't drop them fast unless every shot is a critical. I keep trying other shotguns, like blast types with much larger magazines, but the raw damage doesn't get the job done as well. Based on how often I need that 3rd shot, 2 shots would suck (or rather more zombies would be sucking my brains out).
I use a Soldier class mod that increases magazine and damage for all bullets, giving me 3 shots. I played most of my 2 playthroughs with assault/machine guns and snipers but when things got rougher I learned to love a Hunting shotgun (270 x 7 damage IIRC) and 70-something accuracy still reaches out). And some unique weapons aren't worth the space. I still have several guns at 'lesser' color that beat what I find at higher rated color. Too many other weapons take down the bad guys faster.įunny how the color scheme means almost nothing. The canon shots travel too slowly, about as useless as the shotguns that shoot rockets. Benjy, I haven't found value in the Eridian weapons but I haven't found the unusual ones, just a sniper and several cannon.
