After IB this week I think my job is gonna be trying to farm VG and HOJ rep as best I can for those weapons.
I got a LDR drop, at least it's something. Seems better than my 1kys, same impact, more AA and has hidden hand. I can tell a little difference it's better. Oh it has better stability too, better for two pops. It's only deficiency vs 1kys seems to be range which I dont think effects snipers much. Both have shortgaze so the scope feels the same. So increase in two important stats and decrease in one unimportant one (and probably reload speed or something too).
I think with Defiance of Yasmin (and probably some others), you can still pick up 12 rounds with +sniper boots/chest combo. I may try that but TBH I prefer the high impact snipers full stop, as they can get cleanup kills with body shots if the enemy is dinged even a little. I'll never be a crack sniper so I get a lot of my sniper kills that way. Plus, I generally dont snipe enough to realistically need more ammo IMO.
Looking at the stats for Longbow Synth, I'm not sure the big deal. Unless it still holds 5 in the mag maybe? I guess that would be nice, but no big. I heard it was an AA monster but the base AA is similar to LDR.
BTW what is the deal with the spektar armor? I had a guy run up in my face in some PVE thing, he looked SO badass, like a badass wraith commando. I inspected him and he was wearing some kind of spektar armor the full set.
However I get some now and then, if it's not Int/Disc I tend to shard it, what's confusing me is there's so many types, Spektar, Spektar Aspreit, Spektar inifinite, maybe more? It's confusing and trying to figure out which one looks coolest or I'm supposed to want, and am I supposed to mix and match? I'm a long way from a full set of the same type anyway. And then I'll have to level it all to 335 sigh...I think it's a cool idea but all the different types just muddle it too much. Also some had FWC logo on it, I dont care for that, kinda ruins it like a advertisement LOL.
Man, PVP /IB is a slog last few weeks, I think mainly just cus I've been tired (all the good players say rest is key to playing well) but I've had to scratch for every damn inch. Even freelance 6v6 last week was not much easier. Feels to me like maybe only the good players are left.
I was hoping to drop my kill backlog from 800 to 600 over IB cus last time I gained nearly 200. So far I'm about done for the week and it's 750. Brutal.
