Ok Like Srsly Spectra Buff Nao

[TwoCrabs]

this gun is in dire need of a buff.
ANYTHING would be ok...extra damage, build in puncture, high crit rate ANYTHING
right now its a waist of 3 fieldrons ://

Spectra works just fine for me. I won't argue against a buff, it would be nice, but the Spectra doesn't really need one.

[Neruell]

Don't see anything wrong with it. Due to superior mods of secondary it is the same as a flux rifle just with a smaller range but probably a higher damage output.

[Slurmageddon]

Spectra, Embolist, Sicarus, Kraken are ALL in dire need of a buff.

All sidearms which is the most limited weapons pool in the game, made even more limited by these not being worth the effort required to make them

OMG 3 FIELDRONG HOW AIM GONNA LIVE AAAAAAA

It's 'good' now, but I won't object to a good buff/tweak.

[Eidolon_Slayer]

It should be able to cut through doors. That's the only buff it needs. It should be able to do it based on its item description.

and flux should cut through walls and ships

It could, but nowhere in it's lore was it used as a construction tool.

 

Spectra :"While its intended design is for deep space construction, the concentrated laser beam of the Spectra is highly effective against organic and synthetic enemies."

well i was being sarcastic since having the spektra cut through doors would be utterly ret@rded

Why? I think it's dumb that it can't cut through a door even though it should be able to.

pretty much innate puncture is enought

 The doors, I don't really care about puncture... But I want to cut down doors to get to places...

[YouHaveShamedYoFamory]

Doors open wen u get near them. locked doors have nothing behind them

How do you know?

[YouHaveShamedYoFamory]

How do you know?

theres this thing called the minimap. It is pretty good at showing secret rooms since they kinda exist on the map. And yes secret rooms show on the map you just need to look 

 

 

also the minimap shows what is behind locked doors. nothing

Well, yeah sure, if you had Thieves Wit mod, you could probably find out. But I've never tried it.

i'd rather see all Secondary weapons get a mod nerf and base stat nerf so they aren't superior to all Primaries in every single way. that's just ridiculous. 

i see Digital Extremes is trying to 'fix' this by power creeping Primaries up, and then will end up power creeping Secondaries and melee's up, and then power creeping enemies up, and all will be exactly the same. 

wrong way to do it. it will end up back at square one, every single time.

 

edit:

and no, Secondaries shouldn't be better simply because they have less ammo. it's a Secondary weapon for a reason. 

 

 

Secondary: 'coming after, less important than, or resulting from someone or something else that is primary'.

 

still effective, but designed to be more of a backup, rather than equal to a Primary.

Then how would you know if there aren't any containers?

[YouHaveShamedYoFamory]

If there is a secret room that you know is on the map, there is a way to get to it. whether there are containers or not has nothing to do with this specktra convo.

"Like, Srsly, waist, nao"

 

But you want your thread to be taken seriously?

[Tveoh]

Spectra is just fine against infested and Moa's.   Other things its sucks...  even when modded, (gets better but still its a weapon for certain enemies)   I leveled it, then sold it cause I wasn't impressed enough to keep it.

[Toom1275]

If I remember correctly, with the differences between rifle and pistol mods, putting equivalent mods on both could up the spectra from doing 40% of the damage the flux can output to about 70-80% of what the flux can do. It still has half the range, clip, and ammo though.

 

While modding the spectra can make it almost not suck, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of a buff.
