Anyone else notice a substantial performance boost with this update? Haven't done any tower runs yet, they tend to make my fps poo poo the bed but I'm getting 60+ fps during missions where I used to get 30-40. Feels great on this aging desktop.

Did you use multithreaded rendering before? It's on by default now.

I don't know how any damage type interacts with any target type!

Neither do I, with one exception: my 'cancer cannon' 100% radiation Ignis is 99% useless against Void mobs. It says it does 400-600 a tick, but it literally does 5 or less on almost every tick on Void T3 mobs. I guess the Void is chock-full of hard gamma rays and everyone just sort of chills in 500 millisieverts of radiation all day, every day, in the Void.

edit: V V V or someone at DE played too much Death Knight in WoW-LK; it was an old Blood spec ability that upped your damage output (and damage input) by some hilarious amount, they had to remove it before Cata launched but some 20-million gamers worldwide will think of that first when they read 'Hysteria'

To be fair, Hulk Hands is probably copyrighted. And I'm gonna be honest, as prone as I am to getting kinda SJW, naming it hysteria is pretty low on my list of things to get upset over, even with knowing why others are mad about it. Though it's still not a very good name when they could've just used like rage or something.

It's probably that she's a female frame and now she's a hysterical female frame. It has old social connotations which were probably not taken into consideration when naming the power.

What is the next weapon I should be looking for after the Braton and is said weapon a schematic drop from somewhere or a schematic I can buy on the market? I went from doing 50% damage playing with newbies who were using the lesser version of the Braton to doing 15-20% damage while I see other players doing 50%. It just feels like I should probably have something else by now, I think I'm around rank 20 with the Braton.

I'm also still using the starter pistol and sword.

Not sure if it will help, just grabbing the update now, but if you're crashing, try disabling multi-threaded rendering. Before the patch I enabled that and crashed every third/fourth mission.

Finish that and move on to Boltor primary, Kunai secondary. You'll pop back up there on damage again. Though with U11, you might try shotguns. They are supposed to be pretty beastly now.

What sort of gun do you want? Rocket launcher, flamethrower, assault rifle, SMG, nail gun, shotgun, sniper, laser pointer...really, it depends on what you want to do. Anything is viable enough for almost all of the game, and with the right mods, any gun can do any mission (though super-long defense/survival is only for certain equipment, that's not in the scope of normal gameplay IMO).

One time, I did a thing.
High shotgun crit rates were a bug and are now fixed. Shotguns are now poo poo again. All the critguns had their crit nerfed. Soma lost over 20% off its max and stwraith lost ~10%. Gorgon now has 10% crit base, making it poo poo again.

Blessing still has a damage cap, looks like that one's NOT a bug.

Lanka doesn't show its crit rate in the Arsenal but it crits ingame so all that poo poo about how gun stats would be taken directly from the actual stats the game uses for mechanics? A loving lie.

edit: oh and I just tried the Lanka cuz it lists its damage as Elec again and maxed the proc chance and it doesn't actually seem to have any ability to proc the chain lightning effect. Or the range is really lovely. who knows.

Nobody is completely 100% sure what good weapons are anymore. The good news is that elemental damage seems to be good enough by itself, so you don't need to worry about the damage typing on your weapons like you used to.

Have you enjoyed the Braton? The Furis is a secondary weapon that is very similar to the Braton. People used to recommend the Boltor, but I wouldn't get it now. It's slightly worse than the Braton by DPS and has projectiles instead of hitscan.

Otherwise, the Latron is slightly worse than the Braton by raw DPS, but if you enjoy clicking heads I found that it works pretty well in that role. The Strun is a shotgun. Once you get some mods into it you can one-shot pretty much anything, but the low clip and effectively melee range are drawbacks.

One thing you have to keep in mind is that a simple weapon change is unlikely to be an improvement in your raw capabilities. Your effectiveness is almost completely based on your mod load-out. Try out a bunch of different types of weapons. Keep and eventually catalyze the ones you still liked at rank 30.

Thanks for the weapon suggestions, so far I think I prefer assault rifles/SMG's but it's getting a little stale so I'll give some of the other weapons mentioned a try.

Just try everything, some of the most fun I've had in this game have been using "suboptimal" weapons and still beating pubbs in missions.

Once a pubbie got mad at me for bringing a bow to a survival mission and 10 seconds after he yels at me in chat he goes down, I headshot all grineer in range and ress him. He didn't complain again.

The double barreled shotgun needs to reload waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay faster if they want people to ever use it. I suppose its unique feature is supposed to be that it deals slashing rather than impact damage, but that is nowhere near enough. The new pistol has also done nothing to impress me so far. It is a gorgon that takes even longer to spin up to a slower firing rate and has arguably worse accuracy and the pistol ammo pool. Unless I'm missing something, both of these weapons are butt.

Maybe the whip won't suck? I mean, at least not beyond the standard melee suck.

Is this game always so buggy after new releases?

More lag than I've ever had, damage sometimes not working at all, doors not opening, doors opening but not letting me through (still haven't fixed), not being able to click claim on a high level defense mission etc. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

That'll never get fixed because they expect you to use the mods for that.

I really have no idea how this new damage works. I'm enjoying the update a lot but I don't know what to expect from anything. Nothing seems to do the amount of damage it says so I think enemies have a bunch of hidden resistances and stuff, and I can't figure out how to be able to shoot Corpus helmets anymore (even weapons with more puncture damage than any other kinds and a +puncture mod just bounce off).

Every now and then when my Carrier shoots something there's a loud TONK sound and a yellow outline appears around the enemy but unless this is the puncture weakening effect I don't know what it's supposed to be. I haven't noticed my other weapons doing special effects but I guess they all have pretty low chances.


I'm hoping that scanning an enemy to max will give some info about its resistances and weak spots so I can figure some of this out. You can scan Corpus really easily on these event missions because they don't attack you.

edit: The Ogris still blows up both enemies and myself so I'm not in much of a hurry here
