Gun Decision

[Sharppe]

Akbolto or Dual Vipers? Which do you prefer and why.

[Nellinferno]

2 very different weapons, not a very good way to do a comparison.

 

Akbolto and Aklato is a good comparison.

 

Dualvipers and Afuris is a good comparison.

 

Anyway on topic.

 

I personally like the Vipers, I love it when my enemies die in a rain of numbers. Ammo's a little beach tho.

Akbolot.

The best secondary imo. With dmg mods and mutlishot mods, this gun can wipe out room full of enemies. I use them against bosses and all 3 factions. Only downside is you can't snipe with them like you can with Lex, but you dual vipers are even worse at mid to long range.

 

I never liked single and dual vipers. Consumes way too much ammo to be of use. I think of them as one-time, disposable guns.

Akbolto -

Designed for close-mid ranged gunfire with fairly above-average damage. 

Uses bolt ammunition, so is difficult to aim at large distances, but ignores armour.

Everything else regarding it's design is moderately 'average/balanced'.

 

 

Twin Vipers - 

Low base damage, decent crits.

VERY fast bullet output, fastest base output in the game.

Fast reloads.

Because of it's RoF(rateoffire), it burns through ammo quickly.

This is both a good and bad thing. Good, you can use it to quickly eradicate targets or to throw the damage out quickly.

Bad, it makes ammo conservation fairly pointless. Even trying to control the bursts does not make it good at ammo conservation.

 

 

 

Final result?

Akbolto has a better DPS and lasts longer, but is difficult to aim.

Twin Vipers have a massive RoF and crit.

 

 

Akbolto kills more with less, Twin Vipers kills less with more.

 

My vote goes to Akbolto.

[Engelheim]

Akbolto is good for high level defense missions, especially when you get lv 50+ mobs.

 

Vipers are good for regular missions, the DPS can waste anything.

 

If you have the chance I recommend getting both.

I recommend the Akbolto. It penetrates armor and uses ammo more conservatively

[Phoenix86]

AkBolto for the same reasons already stated above
