Archwing Weapon Balancing

[Raybrand]

So I recently got into Archwing, I kinda like it, hope theres more content in the future.

 

I've unlocked all the guns but I find that after so much grinding the gun you start of with is by far the best. The Fluctus cant hit moving targets past 100m which in archwing 100m is like a few steps shy of melee distance. Corvas has slightly better range than Fluctus but its only a little bit stronger than the starting weapon and beyond close-mid range its losses its effectiveness. Dual Decurion feels like a worse version of the starting gun, non-automatic, 12% of the magazine size, even with crit mods its dps falls short of the Imperator. The Velcitus is pretty good though, great damage, though requires a lot of skill in accuracy to use, it non charge mode is pretty bad though.

 

So atm there is no reason to farm for these weapons, your better off with your starting gun which really doesnt feel right.

Problem is all the other weapons sick mechanically. Fluctuate is nice in corpus tile sets but is terrible in open space. Imperator is always useful, the shotgun ugh. I leveled it before the buff it was a nightmare (corvus), haven't touched out done but its short range and the stupid charge mechanic killed it. Dual decurions before getting them, I was hyped. My next Archwing weapon to invest in, but then I built them and leveled to 30. Again a nightmare because they can't hit anything. People made hundreds of posts asking their recoil to be toned shown, de ignored and they are forgotten mastery fodder now.

You're right, but the problem with all the other weapons isn't damage, its their terrible mechanics. I think de doesn't understand that most Archwing combat takes place at about 300-500 meters. Only an idiot would get close to enemies because the ai tries to surround you hard and getting in the middle of enemy forces is a death wish. Players stay on the outskirts of the death ball chipping away at it from the outside.

I'm talking about Uranus here, the only mission worth doing for exp because the spawn rates on earth are so bad you spend more time doing nothing than shooting.

If you ask me the what you called the starter gun and especially its cousin the Imperator Vandal are among most useful of all and form a trio with the Velocitus, the others in their current form need work, a lot of work.
