-Xenomorph.Queen- Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Well, im finish my attica lvl 30 and potatoed too, works really well with a mix of crit build and thunderbolt BUUUUTTTTT, lacks in terms of overall dmg, i still feel like needs something ..... Like latron prime (oneshot S#&$), or Paris Prime. Well I dont know if is just me or this "buff" isnt really worth the effort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreiko Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 at first thunderbolt seemed OP on attica till I rememebered how much damage it does and why its not a part of my bow builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)iBoiz Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Expect it to get nerfed, maybe 30 ammo? lol People will see explosions and assume it deals tons of damage Edited August 18, 2014 by (PS4)iBoiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShardsSuperior Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I'm not sure what you mean. It's a decent weapon now. Not near the level of the old, broken launchers, but still able to hold its own. Infested on Eris fall to it by droves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-CM-Zennok Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Personally, I'd say that the buff bumped up the attica from what i consider to be C weapons (basically mastery only) to B (take it out once in a while to switch things up). It's still not high level content worthy, but then those are reserved for the primes and so on, can't have all weapons be extremely powerful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Crackle2012 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 @MaxHeadroom I am moving this to Feedback ----> weapons as it is indeed feedback. This would be a much better place to post this, just for future reference. TY man. Feedback: I can't wait to try out the Attica with its ability to use bow mods now, with that fire rate and clip capacity buff it received I don't see how it could be lacking DPS with T-bolt on it, but then again, I haven't tried it. I am still super excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityPrime Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Perchance have you tried it on Mirage specifically with Hall of Mirrors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvorax Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 it is pretty much a rifle with explosives attached.....fun as hell but in no way OP.....its more or less just right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervara Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Throw on some blast combo mods and Split Chamber. Throws out some gnarly damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still super excited for this. (I guess Ps4 players don't have this buff yet? : o ) Just sweep it across a crowded infested defense from a tall perch, especially with a Mirage. It's honestly a beautiful sight to watch the explosions rain across and the numbers fly. Although I have no idea how it would look being in the middle of the firestorm. It feels like it was designed for infested defense right now. Enough AoE potential in thunderbolt to wipe up trash. Enough damage output in bolts to take down ancients. It doesn't have a good enough magazine to reload ratio to run through missions with more constant enemy spawns but for defense it is just right.

-Xenomorph.Queen- Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Throw on some blast combo mods and Split Chamber. Throws out some gnarly damage. Yeah but still lacks in overall dmg, instead as another user says Attica climbs from C weapon to B weapon, only just for fun Perchance have you tried it on Mirage specifically with Hall of Mirrors? Its like tons of mini penta explosions, but vs infested is good, in void after lvl 35-40 enemies just do nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaugahn Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The problem is, at max rank thunderbolt only has a 30% chance of proccing, and when it does proc the bolt doesn't deal any damage and the explosion is fixed to 250 damage. It's fun, but it can't beat actual launchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Crackle2012 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (I guess Ps4 players don't have this buff yet? : o ) No, not quite, we got 14.1 + hotfixes (I think this is the version they submitted) certed last week but it hasn't landed on the PS4 yet. However, I do play on both platforms, its just that my PC account is not where my PS4 account is rank/mod wise- not even close :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrn Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thunderbolt is fun and good for low levels, but its damage is...not too great compared to potential if something else is used. Besides, if you take any weapon and compare it to weapons often held in high regard, you might be disappointed. There's a reason people see those weapons like that, after all. Use Thunderbolt if you like it, though. If you want high damage, take Thunderbolt off and go for a crit+elemental build. It does quite a bit of single target dps. Compared to the Latron Prime, Attica has much higher damage per shot and a little more crit chance. Latron Prime only shines there because of its high crit damage (and great status chance). Also, unless you click fairly quickly (which can affect your accuracy), you won't capitalize on Latron's decent firerate. Basically, it's a great gun now, and it can hold its own against Latron Prime (especially since it's more consistent). Anything more than that might be a bit uncalled for, I think.

Noble_Cactus Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Thunderbolt is definitely not endgame material. At only 250 fixed damage per shot, even firing off 16 of the things into a crowd isn't going to net you a very good ammo economy per damage output when compared to the Ogris or Penta that can decimate crowds well into the high levels. Same holds true even with a Mirage. It's good for leveling the Attica, though, and it's fun on lower level missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienOvermind Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 That Attica buff was really one of the best weapon buffs overall. Yeah, it is still too weak to be an endgame weapon, but it's not like "endgame weapon = good weapon". Attica is a really fun midgame gun now and I hope it stays that way.
