GetBrocked Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just a simple question. Is it worth running Crit Chance and Crit Damage mods on the Latron with (according to the Wiki) at base 7.5% crit chance (that gives it slightly less then 20% crit chance?). Or should I go with elemental damage such as frost and fire? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuko_Miko Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Get a potato and go with both :D I got 150% crit chance, 60% fire, 60% electricity and 60% frost on my wep and it does a S#&$load of damage :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisp Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Crit chance and crit damage aren't good on anything except if you're Ash or Loki. Then crit damage is good on melee. Fire is good for ancients, AP is OP, fire rate damage multishot reload speed and if you still have slots throw a magazine size in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazarel Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 IMO, frost damage is a yes on every weapon. For me at least damage to shields/slow is always worth it.If you mod for crit, mod for at least 60% multishot as well, that way you have two separate chances of dealing "extra" damage. Cheers.

MaximumSquid Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Latron is likely the 2nd worst gun in the game When you up it's crit chance you multiply the two: So would be 7.5% x 150% = 18.75% chance to crit (an increase of 11.25%) Terrible. . . and obvious not worth applying when while you still have other damage mods you can put on Put Split Chamber on since you have the "V" polarity and then just put on 2-4 other damage mods spending on your mod level Edits: Supercharging is not recommended Edited April 22, 2013 by MaximumSquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetBrocked Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Currently I have serration at 100% Multishot at 90% Ap maxed and 60% firerate. Was just wondering if crit or elemental damage was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexCaliber Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 it's better than both the lato and snipertron and if the paris is anything like the snipertron, latron bets that too And the Lex a pistol, properly modded, is better than the latron thanks to the higher base damage, and 15% base crit chance.

Morcant Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Currently I have serration at 100% Multishot at 90% Ap maxed and 60% firerate. Was just wondering if crit or elemental damage was better. I used to use Crit Chance / Crit Damage, but it's really not worthwhile. Stacking elements is more consistent. I've switched my (potatoed) loadout to 90% Multishot, 90% Damage, 90% Freeze Damage, 60% AP Damage, 30% Magazine Capacity (might switch soon), 40% Fire Rate, and 60% Fire/Electric Damage, depending on whether I'm fighting Infested or not.

VexedRelic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 They should just make so crit chance stacks instead of multiplying it on a base, then make it so any value above 100% is added to crit damage increase, that way they could damage balance weapons by giving them different base crit values which would add to crit damage modifier.

Eric1738 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 use multishot before any crit mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engelheim Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 They mentioned that they increased crit values for all weapons. The 7.5% is an outdated value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakim0n0 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 They mentioned that they increased crit values for all weapons. The 7.5% is an outdated value. not to mention it was a bit of guesswork in the first place considering devs have never listed the crit rate for any weapon; based on firing the gun x amount of times and tallying the crits.

Shifty_Shuffler Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 It is definitely higher than 7.5%. Unmodded, the Latron seemed to crit quite a lot. I'm gonna try a crit build and see how it goes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
