I love my AR50! I use it for High Intensity CZ's, where I pair it with the rocket launcher. Catch a blob of NPC's just after they drop, and lob in a salvo of three rockets in quick succession, then switch to the AR50 to finish anyone still standing. The trick is to have fast handling on both weapons, as this makes the time spent switching much more manageable!
I use plasma for missions, esp. the Audio Masked Executioner. Against unshielded NPCs the plasma its great, a one-hit kill, but the round is excruciatingly slow and pretty bad for CZ's where the NPCs are both shielded and running around
I normally run Sniper / shotgun / tormentor
I started looking for the Karma AR-50. Good to see that even with G5 and engineered, it is not the mass killer I had the impression it was.
Thank you for the review! As always.
Glad to be of help.
TBH, I would pair the eclipse with the kinetic SMG counterpart. And the Aphelion with the Kinetic AR. As swapping wepoans with these is essential and it makes more sense to have the same range weapons.
The TK Aphelion is a much more rounded weapon than the Eclipse.
I happily just used that on it's own when Odyssey released for a long time.
Great at long range. Plus can finish them after their shields are down at a decent rate.
Though a swap to a kinetic weapon would be recommended for that. Depending upon which suit you are wearing?
I generally use double rocket launcher a lot personally for CZ's.
But the Aphelion is very solid and reliable, even in High CZ's.
I use the plasma's for stealth raids. Cheers
I use the Aphelion + AR 50 in CZs. It is a good combo there if you get some high ground, such as on top of silos or buildings. But agree with you on AR-50 for Maverick / missions - it's just not as effective as other weapons.
Hello from Xmerw1nd & Xmerwynd your squadron cohort
I use the same load out and am quite pleased with it at all ranges. I'll use the Tormentor as a holdout weapon, but it rarely leaves the holster.
The Manticore Executioner is a fine weapon, especially for sniping (sorry, Caine-Massey), but I find the show projectile speed to be a huge pain.
I agree with you regarding the Eclipse. It handles very well, but the short range and unimpressive damage output make it a mediocre choice for a shield breaker, and I would never even consider using it as an all-around sidearm.
I am a Manticore guy too. I find them to be simply better and more enjoyable
Interesting that I find the weapon swapping both intuitive and fun. Not a fan of the plasma's velocity as I'm more of a medium-long range player where it isn't feasible. I find players generally have a better aim than AI at range, and you also have the advantage over enemies with plasmas, whereas a plasma shotgun v plasma shotgun can be risky business in CQC.
The plasma certainly is feasible at even long range, admittedly not easy but definitely feasible. You can see me using it successfully all the way across a settlement in some of my videos. As you say a lot of it is personal preference and whether you are playing against NPC or other players. The plasma weapons are definitely harder to use successfully against players.
quick question, why u choose "Stowed reloading" (i know the benefits of this mod over speed reloading) but in the video you are not using it and reloading normally?
I choose Stowed Reloading because I prefer not to HAVE to reload manually. I still do reload manually sometimes because I just forget that I don't have to but mostly it's because I'm not in a situation where it's not time critical so I can just reload myself without needing to switch weapons. I'd rather know that I can switch weapons IF I NEED TO and not worry about reloading.
