Puncture Modules Under Powered

[Ratrix]

I've been messing around with all the puncture mods lately and they seem heavily under powered. I spent around 7 hours with this mod and only saw it's power once.(Max rank of course) I want some feed back one what you guys think? Should it be changed from .1 to 1 and then for max from .6 to 6?

I think everyone agrees on this, its just waiting for DE to buff it

[Ratrix]

Ok cool beans.

[ELREYULTIMO]

Yeah. Mostly all they allow me to do now that I couldn't do without them is laugh at the futility of the shield Grineer.

[NanoDecerto]

I don't know what you're talking about. It really helps get rid of those pesky grineer hiding behind pieces of paper.

[NydusTemplar]

Really ought to just roll this into the already nigh-required armor piercing mod and make Puncture mods into something else.  H.E. rounds anyone?  Wouldn't mind me some air burst proximity explosive ammo.

[Excitonex]

I equipped puncture once. I unequipped it right quick after too. Shield Grineer already fail to protect their heads.

Some well positioned arrows or bolts go straigth to the head.

Really the only use for puncture is heavy suppressive fire with gorgon that wipes out hiding enemies.

Too situational IMO.

 

Perhaps if the mod slot cost was like 2 times lower, a lot of people would have used it.

Right now it requires waaay too much mod capacity at max level to be useful once a decade, maybe if they make it to be 5-7 mod capacity at max level it would somewhat more useful but to be honest i still rather put a maximum ammo increase mod for the same capacity.

If they buff it. The mod capacity might be fine.

[Aerensiniac]

They are completely useless.

If they were penetrating enemies too then there would be a point to them, but... just no

[KageNoShini]

so then you want 1 meter of penetration power for an unranked mod? and 6 meter penetration maxed? thats pretty damn insane right there, we'd be shooting through doors, walls, practically everything at that point.

 

up the current numbers, but not to the extent of being able to punch through 6 meters ~ 6.5 yards.

Fully ranked should go through even the fattest of enemies one time. Roughly 2 meters? The large bosses excluded.

[finaLfrontier]

Probably 1 meter fully upgraded would suffice. Would work wonders mowing down hordes of infested or shooting through most pillars, warranting it's insane mod capacity.

thats assuming an enemy is as thick as a door is tall, roughly of course.
