Question about the Latron

[Legonian]

Hi guys, just started on the beta last week so this may be a noob question.

After getting 50K I switched from the Burston to the Latron (I don't really like full-auto since it wastes ammo). First thing I realized was the stronger recoil. That combined with the lower rate means a lot less headshots for me. Then I did some googling for damage tables and found some showing the Latron damage is actually lower then the Burston's (unranked, unmodded, considering the rate of fire)

So the question: Is how is the weapon's growth with mods/levels? Is it worthy (considering the recoil) or should I drop it and go for a full-auto?

Thanks.

latron is really good if u can land head shots, imo i think its better than the burston since its 100% accurate, where u aim is where it hits :)

right now mines only rank15 but it kills most mobs in 1-3 head shots (and thats with its crap mods on it still >.< )

as with all weapons it only comes into its own further down the upgrade tree (lvl 15+) and it also depends on what sort of mods you stick on it as well

What you probably read was DPS, not damage. And DPS is only relevant if you constantly hit the target on an ideal location at an ideal distance. It is a considerably less useful number unless you happen to either be an amazing shot (which really, equates to firing a full auto weapon slower), or there is more than just a head for a weak point in armored units.
