Metal Auger

[Mainabi]

with the new mod metal auger is completely useless, even before it was just a fun mod which couldn't be taken serious. now I wonder what IF metal auger can let the weapon ignore armor?

it would use 1 mod slot, which an armor ignoring weapon could use for dmg or anything else

also it will cost 15mod points

(I'm not sure if shotguns should get the armor ignoring bonus, since shotguns still do great dmg lvl 50+)

I believe that metal auger will be boosted. Otherwise, is a crap mod on our backpacks

[Mainabi]

they've already buffed it but I still think it's far from enough but too much would make this mod op

Metal Auger + Shred (new mod) + Flux Rifle = what is effectively a 25m long blade

On its own it's useless, but when you combine them then it's pretty good :D

it does seem sensible for the mod to that since most physics based rifles and weapons literally slice through armor anyway. That would justify it's insanely high cost over Shred and make non physics-based weapons actually useful...The downside is that this sort of negates the current armor scaling of enemies...Only with a high cost. Hit-scan weapons will be given a new lease on life with that, although you may require a Forma just for this delicious mod, it can be useful. :3

Ofc it shouldn't affect the elemental attributes and they still get affected by armor (like how it happens with Paris et al) C;

shred + metal auger = 1.8m blade only if it works with that type of weapon

If metal auger stays at 0.6 tops it should cost 2/3/4/5/6/7 6 points tops :I
