I like the idea of 'powered' mags that the Knightsbridge and Desert Eagles have, and more guns should have them - they would likely serve as actual alternatives to drums on Commando weapons where small mags are complete garbage.
But I think some variation in them would be nice too. Doesn't even need a new model.
I feel like it's very unclear how these effects work, but after playing with them a good bit on Commando I have concocted something of an understanding.
I used to have additional 'stumblesome' perks but those are pretty useless with my ammo as they almost always get electrocuted before staggering, so I decided to add toxicity - I figured it couldn't hurt to add an additional damage type.
I assume that the 15pts is per round so a bullet hose like the KB is where it'd best serve, and I do notice enemies getting this gross 'infected' effect pretty quickly. I've seen it kill off a few big guys in scenarios where I couldn't finish them off myself.
Is it JUST a DoT, or is toxic weakening them in some other way? Is it worth having more than 1, or is it considered fully 'applied' once I see the visual effects after ~8 shots?
If one effect is enough to trigger it, should I replace one with Panic Power too?
I've maxed Commando and played a decent bit of Engineer/Sharpshooter/Gunslinger and I have to say, Commando feels like crap by comparison.
It all just feels...Underwhelming. I got this game recently, so I don't know if this is public opinion or not but it's been my experience pretty consistently. If I'm doing something wrong / anyone has any tips I'd be glad to hear them.
My starting gear is:
And what's the point of restricting bolt actions to 3/4 only? if i'm that far west i'll just go to a mil zone and get a far better gun.
