flealessnz Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I am looking to make a new primary aoe what is a good one (penta,orgis,attica or any others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnProdman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ogris for alpha damage, Penta for more consistent dps. Attica would be easier to manage, but just because thunderbolt exists doesn't make it an AoE weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFlex Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 They're all pretty good, but I don't suggest Attica. Not only is it a crossbow, Thunderbolt doesn't really help since I believe it falls off in damage quickly at high levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahlak Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Penta and Ogris are good aoe weapons, Ignis if your afraid to blow yourself up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinKenshin Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 if you want AoE weapon go for Ignis....very awesome vs infested, attica with thunderbolt is a good choice too, both penta and ogris aren't a good choice when you're going solo or fighting at close range, since they both kill you but if you were in a defense/MD mission they'll be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKhaun Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Explosives can still get headshots last I heard. I have no idea how the numbers look, but I think it would be much easier to exploit that with Penta's trajectory than with Ogris's straight shot. Nothing wrong with Ignis... people talk trash about it's DPS but at the high end it will always have a place because it's capable of doing 100% DPS to every target in a very large area. It quickly surpasses rifles, even rifles using punch-through to get partial DPS (spray = not all bullets hitting) on extra targets. DPS is irrelevant for most of the game with a well upgraded weapon anyway. Anything non-endless melts in front of an Ignis with a full damage build.

Kalvorax Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I've been having a ton of fun with the torid, but it really only works well against infested as they tend to follow the players (survival) or go after the defense objective. I've got mine built for gas + electricity and I tend to fire off 2-3 shots in one spot so they ticks hit really fast...they get stunned by the electricity and take tons of damage from gas/toxic.Never really used Ogris much as I dont like the charge up time and fire and forget mechanics.

Spechtre Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I always choose my Mirage when going for aoe damage, my weapon choices are attica amprex or quanta. If not using Mirage the penta is fun choice. The Castanas are also a fun secondary with aoe potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePredicament Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 In terms of conventional explosives, I prefer the Penta over the Ogris. It's much more reliable. But Quanta definitely has my vote for overall best aoe weapon. Can be built for cubes (~50k average cubes) or for crits/status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Quanta definitely has my vote for overall best aoe weapon. Can be built for cubes (~50k average cubes) or for crits/status. i was surprised, that nobody mentioned the quanta before you. it has really good damage, can't blow yourself up, and also has the option to shoot lasers with 100% accuracy and somewhat good range. not to mention, that it uses rifle ammo, which is more common than the sniper ammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePredicament Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I noticed that most people don't treat the Quanta properly and think it's a laser rifle with a grenade launcher instead of a grenade launcher with a very powerful igniter. It's probably why it hasn't been praised like it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpongyPenguin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd consider Amprex an AOE weapon. It doesn't have explosions, but it has amazing damage against groups (and single targets, but then the ammo efficiency becomes quite terrible).
