Whats the objectevely best Recon Lasgun variant?

It can also be offset somewhat by the new stamina regen on weak spot kill effect on the right most MF sub node (tunnel vision), which is nice. It’s also relatively near a stamina delay node.

I do understand the thinking of it being on the left. It fits more with the Marksman/finesse shooting theme of left tree than anything else.

I dunno rather than move it I’d probably like to see further work done to make it usable with rapid fire weapons, even if it requires an extra nearby talent to do so. When messing around in meat grinder it occurred to me that “turning it on” by bracing with eg Graia brauto could lead to an interesting play style where you strategically brace here and there for big DPS dumps but obviously that’s completely impractical currently.

Perhaps instead of a stamina cost per shot it could multiply the aiming stamina drain by 1.5 while your gun is in the active firing animation or something. That would even it out across different guns more while still letting it favour slower firing precision weapons more.

Anyway sorry for hijacking the thread.

Just popping this in as a reference:

(Old name > New Name)

  • Accatran Mk II Recon Lasgun > Accatran Mk VIc Recon Lasgun (98 damage)
  • Accatran Mk VId Recon Lasgun > Accatran Mk XII Recon Lasgun (60 damage)
  • Accatran Mk VIIa Recon Lasgun > Accatran Mk XIV Recon Lasgun (141 damage standard)

Damages are for a 80/80 weapon stat, and are just the hip fire / ads standard values.

So the view generally is that the VIc (as it is now) is good if you want to build crits / effects, but the XII is possibly a better allrounder?

Interesting. I quite like the XIV. Albeit I’m not playing with it in Auric Maelstroms; but it’s just fine in Aur5s. I think I prefer that it seems to stop non-Crusher elites better. Might be wrong in this view as I haven’t used the lasgun much in my time.

I don’t see why you would like the VIIa, except maybe on a zealot (cause you don’t have onslaught) or the psyker (maybe?).
But from my tests, and from what I saw in the game, the II and VId are performing at a different level of the VIIa. They can kill things really faster than the VIIa and even without playing a veteran.

I’ll give it a switch up :+1:. I didn’t like the torrent variant as I mentioned - I couldn’t see what I was doing.

simply bec VIIa has the highest dmg, higher dps (VId has higher dmg against boss), better ammo efficiency, and it is the only recon that can penetrate the enemy (gosh this “pro-gamer” doesn’t even know that).
Skill issue, I guess, but it makes sense since he thinks Graia IV is a good weapon.
