Review: Plinx (U24.2.6)

The Plinx is a new MR6 secondary, released in U24.2 alongside the Profit Taker Heist. It is one of the rare battery-powered weapons. It is an alright sidearm blaster and can be fun to use, but as suggested by its low MR lock, is overall outclassed by many other weapons.

Review: Hema (U24.2.6)

The Hema is an MR7 Infested Burst-Fire rifle with notoriously high Dojo research requirements. It has many rare and unique features, including pure Viral base Damage, lifesteal and health draining. Though not the easiest weapon to acquire or the most powerful by any means, I find it to be a very different and fun rifle.

Baro Ki'Teer: 28/12/18

Last Baro visit of the year. He's brought some good stuff this time round. Unfortunately, my potato laptop can't actually load into Larunda Relay, so the images are from Lord_Dust_Bunny on Reddit.

[OBSOLETE] Game Mechanics: Status Chance and Shotgun Status (U24.2.5)

IMPORTANT NOTE: As of U27.2, this post is completely obsolete. Shotgun status behaves like every other weapon, and physical procs have equal bias as elements.

Deciding if a weapon is worth building for status is generally pretty simple. You usually want a base Status Chance of at least 15%, ideally alongside desirable status types like Slash or Corrosive. For most weapons, the difference between 95% Status Chance and 100% Status Chance is pretty much negligible. For shotguns, it can mean the difference between being a status monster, and being essentially status unviable.

Review: Grinlok (U24.2.2)

The Grinlok is an MR7 lever-action Semi-Auto rifle originally released in U12.1. It received a substantial buff along with many other weapons in the U22.12 Balance Pass, though still suffers from several notable flaws.
