Nah man.. concussion shot is the frikkin' bomb. The +100% dmg to organics after you hit them is awesome and you can run around with an SMG and just spam conc.
If it doesn't knock em down, it'll knock em back. Watch this dude http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ER85m30pYE but i think on console the recoil is less because i tried this on PC and the recoil is significantly larger than what he's seeing Still the hornet's a pretty insane gun |

Hey anyone understand how the armour piercing mod works?
i know it pierces cover but i'm trying to grasp the armor penetration part. Does this mean it works better on the armor (yellow) bars or is there like a different type of armor. Like how cerb troops wear armour. Would it mean i do more dmg to targets who have armour? |

Ah so the benefit ONLY applies to targets with the armor health bar. Not on enemies that look like they have armour.
The raptor is the only gun i use anyway. Super rapid fire. |

QUOTE(madtoilet @ Apr 6 2012, 02:20 PM) Hey anyone understand how the armour piercing mod works? it weakens armor faster than normal shots. ie ur base gun dmg is 100 and u hv AP lvl1 applied (dmg to health 10% & armor 10%), means that ur actual dmg to armored unit is 110. this however hv no effect on barriers, u still do 100dmg.i know it pierces cover but i'm trying to grasp the armor penetration part. Does this mean it works better on the armor (yellow) bars or is there like a different type of armor. Like how cerb troops wear armour. Would it mean i do more dmg to targets who have armour? so choose ur ammo power according to enemy, if fight against cerb, use AP coz most of em on silver have armor, on reaper better use warp ammo coz it bypass barriers and armor. |

I thought the penetration penalty on the mod was only applied when hitting armoured targets. But what you said made sense. On last nights gold run on geth i noticed that it was taking me longer than usual to take down the dudes on health but the ones on armour were getting killed fast
That makes the mod pretty crappy actually if it's not a super high dmg rifle like the widow/blackwidow. speaking of which... i'll never get the black widow.. seriously.. |

It's tedious to restart the game each time to buy stuff. no easy way around this  i kena more than 5 times already  lol.make sure u do it when your connections good. i think the new origin patch may fix this abit. hopefully? btw now only im learning that ammo types can be used to trigger combos! dam fun... have to save credits for more ammo types d! ** i didnt know that armor piercing does reduced dmg to normal shots! i thought only if u shoot them behind cover then we got less dmg? "Any projectiles which benefit from the piercing (in this case, penetrate a .5 meter thick object) will deal reduced damage (60%). Projectiles which don't need to penetrate cover or an obstacle to hit their target do normal damage. This includes the visual armor that Husks / Cannibals can get, and the shields of Cerberus Guardians. Additionally, attacking a target with Armor, the yellow bar, does bonus damage." ^not my info i curi from google one This post has been edited by joeong: Apr 6 2012, 04:32 PM |

Err, I don't think that's right. If I'm not mistaken, there's no actual penalty for vs unprotected enemies. The damage reduction is only applied when the bullet has to penetrate something. Else the weapon still does full damage.scenario: using mantis lvl 1, base dmg 760, equip with penetration mod lvl 1, no AP. lvl 1 penetration gives -0.5x to unprotected but +0.25x to armored (if im not mistaken, but watever, just an example). sooo.....to non-armored enemy, u do 750 * (-x0.5) => 750-375=375 equip with AP lvl1 (+10%), thats 375+10% = 412 to armored target, u do 750 * (+0.25) => 750 + 187 = 937 equip with AP lvl1 (+10%), dats ~1030 u can see the details here To put it quite simply, if you shoot a Guardian through his shield, you do only 40% damage per shot assuming your mod is Level I. You still do 100% damage to an unprotected Assault Trooper unless you are trying to shoot him through cover in which case the damage drops to 40%. Note that the Widow sniper rifles automatically have the piercing effect so you might not need to use this mod on it. Might...I'm not sure of the effective piercing level of the Widow but I suspect its tied to the gun level so it might still be worth putting a Piercing Mod V on a Widow I. Dunno...dun have enough info on this. |
