Most of the tried-and-tested weapons still hold true. In other words, the Trinity and Windblade are still lethal at close range, and the Nova is still as powerful as ever as an all-range weapon. However, the following *may* be strong misconceptions we've held by relying on numbers and calculations, which are no longer as reliable given the presence of scaling:
  • A high firerate may be more crucial than high weapon damage, since it seems like the more damage a weapon does, the more it's scaled down.
  • In this vein, the LIT07 may not be as strong as the Nova, because the Nova's glitched firerate is still faster. I cannot say for sure with the lag during testing, however.
  • The RPGs aren't nearly as strong as they sound due to the scaling. The exception is the Black Stars, because each rocket seems to be subject to less downward scaling - but it still fires 3 rockets
  • The assault rifles may be MUCH stronger than we originally anticipated. I tested out the strongest one, and it may actually be on par with the Nova. It definitely feels stronger than the Crab.

Anyway, the Trinity, Windblade and Nova continue to be strong weapons in PvP, but it would be wise not to underestimate the assault rifles from what we've seen.

Parcheesy: read above, I completed the sentence. Not sure how that happened o__O

From the tests I conducted, the Energy Glove is LAUGHABLY weak. It's got quite a bit of splash range, but you could probably run directly at an Energy Glove user and hack him to death with the Windblade before he even takes off half of your health.

As I said before, the Black Stars is strong enough to kill a Cygni user with two full blasts (when you're also a Cygni user): its power is comparable to the mithril sniper. The problem is that it's got a low firerate, hence why I developed the RPG combo based off that attribute. As you might have already concluded, you'll probably get a stronger result combining the Black Stars with the Trinity.

I have qualms about ranking these weapons against each other, but I suppose the Black Stars may qualify in fourth place: on its own, it's just strong enough to match the Trinity provided you both start firing at the same time, and it seems to have better mid-range capabilities than the Trinity. I've yet to test out the Morpheus or the Grenade Launchers.

Heavily depends on your teammates, if there are any in the match. If they don't bring hyper clips and are weak, it takes annoyingly long.

If you let one of the Mantises put its shield up, you're probably looking at an extra 30 seconds of length, because that's how long its shield is up for.

7 or 8 minutes seems a reasonable guess, but I'm guessing off the top of my head. Someone else may well know better.

Damn another 20 or 40 more mithril to get over the energy glove.

Curious to know how well the Morpheus does
