Wait i thought this was normal for helbore lasguns. It’s their “deal” huh… Well there goes my hopes and dreams. Been using this weapon because of the ability to damage the carapace armored enemies.

I was under the impression that’s intended and the stat screen is wrong. The guns are absolutely trash if the displayed number are intended and not the damage they deal now.
