MoyuTheTrinity Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The Lex fire rate does not appere to be changed at all If it is its barly noticable on supercharged. The new recoil feels annoying more then helpfull now that its less recoil it feels very off like it isnt the gun i fell inlove with maybe she is having an affair with someone else and its affecting her performence around me. Dont worry baby Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you ;w; I hope we can work out our problems soon sweetie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cawkslapjones Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I got the Lex to 30, despite HATING the recoil on it. I recently sold it off because it never was worth it to me. Kraken does it all, and better. Less recoil maybe makes it worth using again. Though honestly, I doubt it can compete even still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyuTheTrinity Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) the Kraken just feels so crappy to me personaly basicly you get 1 headshot and 1 body shot or 1 miss with a wimpy sound and recoil the Lex gets 1 headshot for more base damage with it super charged it can fire alittle faster then 1 bullet a second allowing you to have rythem that new recoil just threw the rythem off wack after a month or so of practice Edited February 22, 2013 by MoyuTheMedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feindfeuer Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I prefer the Lex, it hits harder on a per-shot basis and on longer ranges with the Kraken you have to decide if you either go for one headshot and one miss, or one central body hit and gamble for the followup to be a headshot. So on some enemies I'll still be compensating for the 2nd round of the Kraken to get a follow up burst on target, while the Lex already has done the job with the first round. Don't get me wrong, the Kraken is a fun pistol and i realy like using it for its looks, sounds and its good combination of damage output and low ammo consumption. But it'll not replace the Lex for me in any way and it's certainly not a match for the Lex in long range engagements. Though it might have an edge on close encounters where you can get both rounds into the head of the enemy. So (at least for me) they excell at two very different engagement ranges.

Cawkslapjones Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Lex > Kraken ... in looks, performance, sound and sexyness! Everything there is subjective but the performance. Of course you'd have to get specific about how you use it that makes it so far superior, but to me losing 10 base damage for very long range compared to the still spot-on accuracy of the Kraken (who shoots much faster and with less recoil, or did before the update, have not compared since) who only gets better with every step they take, to the point where at medium range you can land 2 50 damage headshots easily as opposed to a singular 60 damage headshot... well I'm sure you can do the math.

I've gotten both weapons to 30, and IMO the Lex is the much better weapon for mid- to long-range encounters (really only with Grineer and Corpus). It deals enough damage to get by easily, and only uses the 1 ammo per shot. The Kraken is a much more high-risk, high reward kind of weapon where if you hit one, the other one still isn't certain to hit. It's great for close encounters, and does moderately well at medium range, but the Lex comboed with a shotgun works much better - shotgun for the close range work, low ammo consumption high-damage Lex for the rest.

MoyuTheTrinity Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I cant vouch for the kraken but the Lex is good enough with its risk to reward that if you are good enough it can be your main weapon short to long ranges It is accuret with or without sights so you can close range a shot to the nose but the most recent patch has thrown its recoil off wack and the rythem is changed so its like learning a whole new gun Its new recoil feels wimpy aswell its more annoying then interupting my shooting it feels like my guy should be strong enough to control this little bit of recoil the huge recoil it had before was like "OH CRAP I can see why it hits so hard" but now it just feels wimpy like the kraken I hope other Lex users feel the same way and we can get it changed back Edited February 23, 2013 by MoyuTheMedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderYourBed Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So, went ahead picked up my Lex again. I agree with the OP, this recent recoil/RoF change was annoying. Before, you could fire again after recovering from the heavy recoil which gave the gun a unique rhythm. Now, there's this awkward (and non-sensical) pause before you could fire again. IMO, they should've given it a damage buff instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetergentPod Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So far my Lex can only 1 shot Runner and those Jumpers. It's rank 13 at the moment. I wonder if I should supercharge it to 1 shot everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if I should supercharge it to 1 shot everything. It will 1 shot everything on the first planet at level 30 At level 30 it had a nice speed of 1.1 wich synced with its recoil perfectly doing 80 damage without mods headshots to grieneer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadronVictorioso Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Not many Lex users out there I guess DE probably wont notice us and fix it I fail to see what the issue is, likely because I didn't use the Lex before the update which got rid of some recoil. Seems perfectly fine to me, except for the fact that it's stopped dead by armour - a round THAT large (magnum, essentially) would go through armour easily. If they're gonna make sure we can't fire again for a while, at least give us some armour piercing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the Kraken can also be like the Lex if you are able to control the recoil. It is not that hard, people. Pull straight down and you'll be getting dual headshots all the time, far outdamaging the Lex. I still enjoy using my lex, but in leveling my Kraken, I am seeing the straight up damage increase in it. Also, just add clip/max ammo mods and you'll do just fine.

MoyuTheTrinity Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 the lex's new short recoil is shorter then the rate of fire they nee to increase the rate of fire too match the new recoil (i hate this idea it will make the lex to fast) Or increase the recoil back to the way it was so it matches the gun's shoot speed If they wish to buff this gun they can buff its reloa time or increase its damage 1 bullet a second is the perfect speed for it and 0.9 second recoil is perfect for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yg-Dosst Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I actually Like the Recoil. It rewards and balances it's damage with personal skill (i.e. physcial compensation with the mouse) Just like all of the Semi-automatic weapons do. Plus the low-fire rate with its recoil not only keep the damage at a sane level, And clearly identify its function as being a side-arm and less effective than the primaries. Also, I've got to be the only one to actually enjoy the recoil because I can visually "Feel" the impact of the bullet shattering the skulls of the enemies that lay before me. This sensation and display of power coupled with the neccesity of skill for effecive use are the elements that make this my favorite gun to use, rather than the sheer killing power of it. It may be because I'm a gun-nut IRL; I'm addicted to high-recoil guns. The force shooting through my arms just sets off my adrenaline system.
