RIOT Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) So, I finally was able to make the latron prime (after farming since U9 for that damn reciver) and the only thing that comes to mind is, Wow. This kinda sucks...I love how it looks and the playstyle it offers, but this thing is in a need of a buff in my opinion.My suggestions are as followed:Mag size 15 > 20Damage 45 > 60 or 65crit chance 10% > 15%Or! You could forget all that stuff and give it armor pen damage.I know the new damage/armor system is coming, which I hope fixes most of the problems I see when it comes to weapons.But, if we are talking about a good 3+ month wait for that, I would love to see this weapon buffed in the mean time.Anyway, just my 2 cents.

Zachles Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I don't understand why it needs buffed exactly. In comparison to it's non-Prime counterpart, it appears to be better in every way. Personally, my only problem with Latron (I'm not sure about Latron Prime, but I imagine it's the same) is the recoil. There's a mod that reduces recoil, but I can't remember what it's called.

Volt_Cruelerz Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 IMO, just buff the damage on both the Latrons by ~20% and problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkDoctaSpock Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 IMO, just buff the damage on both the Latrons by ~20% and problem solved. The crits really take him up to another level, having a higher crit chance could be an other way to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueminator Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Crit damage too low imo, only 1.5x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lers Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Give it crit chance and damage, or just a straight up damage buff. I don't understand why it needs buffed exactly. In comparison to it's non-Prime counterpart, it appears to be better in every way. Personally, my only problem with Latron (I'm not sure about Latron Prime, but I imagine it's the same) is the recoil. There's a mod that reduces recoil, but I can't remember what it's called. Better than the Latron? Yes. But go shoot some level 80+ Grineer first with the Latron, then with a Vasto or even a Soma (single bullet at a time), and then come back here saying the same. Armor 2.0 may fix some things, but the Latron Prime is waaay behind in raw stats and is pretty outdated compared to current difficulty and newer weapons we get.

Grulos Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Latron Prime is pointless now. Soma has higher damage per hit. Give the Latron Prime some LOVE, DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amistyrja Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's not about how it compares to a Latron, it's about how it compares to other Primes and rifles in general. Latron Prime could use a base crit chance buff so it doesn't feel so much like a semi-automatic coin flipper. If the Soma and Boar Prime(for example) can score critical hits reliably, I don't see why the Latron Prime shouldn't be able to. I mean, sure it does fair damage without criticals unlike the two guns mentioned above(who need criticals to shine) but if the gun can't crit consistently there really doesn't feel like there should be much reason to use it over anything else.

HAR1MAU Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 the latron and expecially the prime version in general is underpowered comared to other weapons . (more presicely the kunai, hikou and despair)I mean a primary should be stronger then your secondary, and with the release of lethal torrent it makes it even worse.The semi-auto weapons I am familliar with are (kinda) slow firing, high damage weapons, not slow firiing pea shooters.This weapon and its unprimed counterpart has to be buffed.

I think they should just buff the crit dmg to 250% And AP damage type would be great too I don't understand why it needs buffed exactly. In comparison to it's non-Prime counterpart, it appears to be better in every way. Personally, my only problem with Latron (I'm not sure about Latron Prime, but I imagine it's the same) is the recoil. There's a mod that reduces recoil, but I can't remember what it's called. The recoil on the Latron Prime is lower and its a lot easier to use at range. No need for that useless recoil mod Crit damage too low imo, only 1.5x. Yes Latron Prime is pointless now. Soma has higher damage per hit. Give the Latron Prime some LOVE, DE. Its not pointless yet. When was the last time you ran out of ammo on a Latron Prime? the latron and expecially the prime version in general is underpowered comared to other weapons . (more presicely the vasto and dual vasto) fix'd. The Kunai and its brothers are apples to the Latron's mushroom. There is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syle Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 do not bother with any prime weapons they are all garbage other than for looks or mastery those the only 2 reasons to get them - looks and mastery - they are all horrible now compared to clan weapons or the late market additions im not going to even bother asking for buffs for primes since weapon balance is all scotts department and that guy is just horrible when it comes to balance and stats powercreep is the direction this game is going with and there is nothing wrong with it its a choice that the designers take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary2010haha Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why use latron if we have vasto? Why use Latron prime if we have dual vastos? DE is funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailCreation Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The latron is meant to be a mid to long range accuracy weapon. It's not meant to be spammed at body parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverslices Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The latron is meant to be a mid to long range accuracy weapon. It's not meant to be spammed at body parts. It doesn't have enough damage to be a one shot kill. I do more damage with ONE bullet from my Lex, making it more useful than the Latron or Latron prime. Same for my Dual Vastos, which makes me crazy for using the Latron Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hardly compare them imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarash2110 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Latron prime defenetly needs a buff, i would say 55 damage, 20 crit chance, not 15 because its more importent to have a high dph in slow firing weapons, with rifels and fast weapons 15 is alright, and besides that same stats as latron, and latron crit chance shoukd be 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corruption9 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I think The Latron and the Latron Prime need a buff. As a person that has used actually semi automatic weapons irl, the latron really seem underpower when it come to damage compared to the recoil. Then again using a Mosin bolt-action and a Sks and comparing it to the Latron/prime is way to different. DE, just more crit or Dmg please. :) Also fix the Latron Prime drops. I got like 7 mag primes before i got the Latron Prime stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Is latron prime barrel back on drop tables? Wasn't last time I checked >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theangelbelow88 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I think the best comparison here is the Braton and its prime variant, the Braton Prime got a 25% increase in damage and 5 more rounds in its magazine, the Latron Prime only has 2.5% more crit chance and about 12.5% increase in damage, so yeah something is a little off...
