rpglord Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) It has theoretical DPS of 450, which is higher then even Supra ? I know DPS isn't everything, but it seems to be the top in that regard. What are you thoughts about recent buff, does it make burston only a viable weapon now, or one of the best ?

PsychedelicSnake Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's definitely better than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Eh, reduced by armor though, so boltor still reigns king I think (as best assault rifle for damage vs armored enemies at any level) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shion963 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well don't know about 'best', but it's 'good' now. And I'm okay with 'good'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisp Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 You know DPS isn't everything, so why do you call it best? Tbh the burst weapons have wonky firing rates. Don't judge by the stats screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Flux Rifle oink... oink.... Wait, flux ignores armor? huh. Boltor does have more range though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybridon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Its viable, thats what matters. in the end you cant have all weapons equally balanced, they will never be, but the burston buff was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derclaw Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wait, flux ignores armor? huh. Boltor does have more range though. Flux also staggers enemies - so close range not an issue. Also Flux turns game into Dead Space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady_Khaos Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Burston is great now. However, being a burst weapon means it is very skill based. So not everyone can get it to perform to its full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KvotheTheArcane1 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Flux also staggers enemies - so close range not an issue. Also Flux turns game into Dead Space. Very true... well, outside of close range then, boltor wins imo (and also staggers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfstorm18 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I really doubt the burston is better than the boltor. With the boltor I can let my finger resting in the mouse button. The burston uses burst fire so I have to click constantly, stressing my finger. For this reason alone the boltor already owns the burston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brosagi Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It would be great if it didn't get totally screwed by frame rate drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Latron, Latron prime and Snipetron Vandal seem "better" to me. Burstron is arguably more fun to use however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetAtMeMods Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Supra is higher. Its not the "best" rifle but a good alternative on par with braton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhorge Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 The most bursts you will usually get due to frame rate and human reflexes is around 2 a second so no, by a large margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpglord Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) The most bursts you will usually get due to frame rate and human reflexes is around 2 a second so no, by a large margin. In that case, latron or latron prime is the worst weapon in the game, yet people still like it ? If I am not wrong, latron prime would only do 90 damage per second with two shots, right ? Burston is still double that amount ? Edited July 20, 2013 by rpglord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting with every bullet of the burston is not likely while a latron will not fail you as long as you have a good aim you won't waste ammo. As for DPS, latron is indeed the worst rifle, not sure what you expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawtank96 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Im loving the new burston buff i just wish that they fix the recoil is hard to land all 3 shots when trying to get head shots, same issue with the sicarus. Once that reciol is gone it can be used past shot range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saenol Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 People need to learn how to use burst fire weapons. Latron is different. Hitting with every bullet of the burston is not likely while a latron will not fail you as long as you have a good aim you won't waste ammo. As for DPS, latron is indeed the worst rifle, not sure what you expected. My accuracy with the Burston is higher than with the Latron or Latron Prime.
