Damaged Mods: Awesome For Newbies, Good For Vets!

[Xylia]

So I was able to log in just long enough to take a look at the new "Damaged Mods", or at least a few of them.

 

Serration: 2 Capacity for 10%, 3 Ranks.

 

This is awesome for newbies, because at a mere 5 Capacity Points, they can get +40% damage on their weapon.

 

This is also awesome for Veterans, too!

 

While ranking up a weapon, you need 6 Capacity Points to get the same out of the Original Serration (which gives 45%),so this Damaged Serration is actually better than the Normal Serration until you get 6 Capacity Points on your weapon (and even then, it might allow you to get a Mutator sooner if you used the Damaged Serration).

 

This is a nice touch (though it still doesn't solve the underlying problem of weapons doing too much damage at endgame play, but meh. Maybe u15?).

 

EDIT: Bad memory, blah.

How can a weapon do too much damage O_O. Rather, I can't have enough damage ^^;

40%? If a weapon does 25 dmg, with this mod it will do CRAZY 35 dmg! Who would bother with a less then 105% Serration?

Simple: To keep the game challenging at endgame, they have to turn everything into bullet sponges. This is well-covered in some other threads here in GF.

The MK1-Paris, one of the starter weapons, was doing 165 damage headshots. With the 40% Serration, that turns into 231.

 

Not bad at all.

 

Oh, and there are damaged versions of elemental damage mods too, though I've only seen the Melee ones thusfar.

I swear that Paris was so good, or the Grineer were just so bad. I was doing 1k+ damage D:
