Increase damage from 25 to 36.

 

Status Chance increased to 15% from 10%.

 

That is all that will be needed to make it more viable for super end-game play. It's a small buff, but I think we'd see more Braton Primes in the game if this came to pass :)

 

And you killed Burston prime with that

It really does need a buff, and has needed one ever since prime power creep began. It was average when it was first released, but is now useless.

 



Braton Prime is fine as is. It's already an infested-murdering beast.

 

Yes and while it may murder infested up to level 30. Anything thats not infested and beyond level 30 will probably react to the BratonP's bullets in the same way someone has water flicked in their face.

To me, balance is being able to fight level 70+ mobs.

 

Braton Prime cannot do that as effectively/efficiently as other weapons in the Prime tier. Burston Prime CAN, very easily, Boltor Prime can with some difficulty here and there.

 

Hence Braton prime needs a buff.

 

Things are underpowered if content is balanced to level 30 mobs when that part of the game lasts for like what...15 minutes tops?

8.8 impact

8.8 puncture

16.4 slash?

 

Those sound like good numbers to anyone else?  Comes out to 34 base damage.

 

I'd even suggest buffing the critical chance to 12%, and critical multiplier to 2.0x, as the Bratons are kind of expected to use crit mods to match the raw damage bullet hoses (Braton vs Karak or Boltor for example.)
 

Btw, to me, balance is about making it to wave 15/20 minutes in T3 with some trouble.  Everything after that was probably meant to be considerably tougher, but DE doesn't seem to mind the ridiculous distance people can go in endless content too much.

It needs more base damage and maybe firing rate. I wouldn't change anything else on it.

 

It's a good weapon, but just old. It needs updated in a manner similar to what was done to the Latron Prime.

 

The main issue is that it's a T3 weapon that is roughly equivalent to a weapon that is often the first thing beginning players build: the Karak. This needs to change.

12% is not enough for crit modding, besides status is more important due to enemy's infinite scaling. So a status buff would shift the Braton Prime to viable top-tier on par with the Burston prime at least.

 

Braton Prime is a prime weapon meaning alot of grinding and then its not that strong, just a bit stronger than ur STARTER weapon of Warframe so I call for a buff

 

This is true.

Agreed, the karak can even be considered better, which is what is wrong with it.

 

Status needs a change, base needs a change, but fire-rate I'm VEEERY iffy, on, I don't think that needs much of a tweak ^^;

Lol. The imagery.

 

Anyway, I agree under the assumption Prime means should be competitive with other endgame weapons.

44% base dps increase-suppose that's not asking for too much considering where it is at. Not a fan of reload times myself, I'd ask for reload time improvement as well but I'm greedy like that.

 

Wonder if this will happen 2014 O_o.

I am hoping it does. The buff is not significant enough to make this the new meta, but it is JUST enough to make it very competitive for those of us who enjoy tricking out our weapons.

 

Reload time is alrightish, I'd ask for a reload cancel rather than a statistical buff, because that adds a skill element too, sorta x'D

 

Braton Vandal also need buff (its propably most crappy exclusive weapon) Braton Vandal and Prime the same stats so i think DE should add some dmg for both weapons

 

Would be good if the vandal got some love too, I ain't against that :) But I can only do a proper run down for the prime as I only have the prime.

Is this still not done yet?

 

How much effort does it take to change 6 numbers FFS.

Considering about 12 of these thread have been completely ignored, and apparently devs didn't even know they exist (when it was brought up in the last dev stream) and yet the acrid got a buff (da fuk?), I'd say if we're lucky we'll get it in a year or two. Game needs a balancing pass BADLY. DPS and mastery ranks are currently all over the place and power creep is in full force.

 

But hey, it's not like we're beta testing or anything like that...

Well I shall attempt to keep this one alive... x'D

 

 

It makes you wonder if they are playing the same game us to be fair.

 

They are, they just don't use the braton prime probably :D

It's so underpowered even THEY don't use it :P

 

Haha, well technically it does fine up until around wave 20

 

But unlike other weapons that last till 35, this one falls off early so yeaaah that's a problem. If they played to 20 there's no problem

 

Anyway, gotta keep this thread alive x'D
