TylerFreeman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) yeah, this rifles pretty cool as hell. first off, it has no recoil whatsoever making it perfect for marksmen and etc, it feels pretty strong. also, I am totally digging the lever action style whenever I shoot, feels pretty badass. most of its damage is synchronized around impact cause hey, grineer despise corpus alot so essentially its more of a grineer's take on the latron design. my slightest pet peeve with it is its crafted through clan-tech but hey I have no qualms with this decision since currently there were only 2 grineer weapons when clans were introduced, at the very least its kind've weird to sell it in the market when you can research it in clan-tech. all in all, I gotta say props to the animation design, this is certainly a keeper for me. EDIT : forgot to mention it also comes with a V polarity so its all good. Edited February 13, 2014 by TheAuraMaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vargras Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Grineer labs definitely needed more stuff, considering that they had the least (and still do) items of any other lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordofTibera Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 You people have the money to just throw around on a weapon you know virtually nothing about and was just released? This happens with every new item I know, but I just can't help but feel like a tool sitting here trying to get the thing the "boring" way of crafting cuz I don't want to drop 6-8 bucks on a single weapon. Makes me feel cheated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanIncubi Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Well people who drop a few bucks into it are valuable because they can provide us of the basic feel and any bugs or problems that may occur allowing a quicker and swifter response taken to improve the design of the weapon for the rest of the community to enjoy. I am glad they put it into the labs and honestly I think that wepaons in the Labs should be the weapons you strive to earn through a slow and expensive way yet provide you with the best late game weapons while the market place should contain weapons of low to mid level game play.

Makes me feel cheated. I've literally seen people say "Hey, this game looks cool. I plan to spend $100 on it. What should I buy with that?" They literally haven't even installed the game, and they've committed themselves to spending $100 on a F2P. Man, I'd love to just be able to toss money around like it was nothin' some day.

Kyphe Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well what people say they are going to spend means not a lot, generally if you like a game and want it to grow you should think about investing at least as much as you would spend on a payed for game. If you would normally wait for a game to go on sale as you are on a budget then factor that in. less than 30% of FTP players actually spend any money at all as a rule. When I see people splash cash on new gear I think great! that is profit for this company that is making something I enjoy, no I will never buy a weapon from the market, not a chance lol but don't let it bother you that others can and do, just think that the cash they spend is paying for your free play and say cool, I will get that next week for free.

Y-O-L-O Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Is it a sniper? Or a grineer latron? Do it have a sniper scope?? May I know it please? :) Edit : nvm, get it myself at the grinlok video. A grineer latron. Edited February 13, 2014 by Y-O-L-O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphe Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 As to this gun, it looks to me, like an impact/slash version of my sniperton vandal, less crit chance more status chance but both have 6 shots, both have similar total base damage and similar reload time. I love my vandal so I will most likely get this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanhline Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 this thing sucks by the way, just thought id throw that out there lol. even if they doubled the rate of fire, and cut reload speed in half it still wouldn't be all that great.....

Noble_Cactus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 because 100% crits aren't impressive on bows /sarcasm. A faster reload, bullets in a mag, and less need to lead the target due to hitscan all give the Grinlock higher damage potential. Actually, I stand corrected. Grinlok sits just below Dread and below PPrime in terms of DPS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqEdgMHjBhOHdFk1dTBxQUdoOXBmOTN2TTFkTjBvTUE&usp=drive_web#gid=6 TTK is even more heavily weighted.

Kyphe Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 where did you get the 30% facts? you know 90% of internet facts are wrong. You do know that the 90% of facts on the net being wrong is itself an internet fact that is wrong lol There are many industry studies done, results vary some as low as less than 1 percent, I chose 30% as a safe number as it is a greater percentage than any study I have yet seen by a margin, Therefore the statement that less than 30% is factual though actually generous.

konfetarius Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Stat wise, it seems to be actually very comparable to the Snipertron Vandal (10% less crit chance, 20% more stat chance, stats otherwise are almost identical). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulzscha Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 But there's no scope on this lever action bad boy. That's a good thing IMO, because all the sniper rifle scopes except for the Vectis are a hindrance (terrible visibility). Still waiting for a HUD option to disable scopes.
