Yeah I find that a modified higher powered orbit (60 range) laser rifle with scope that works well for Andreja. It’s around 98 laser power or so (I’m level 23? So I thinks that’s good for a companion right now. Obviously I have a higher dual powered handgun / shotgun but they don’t shoot as far.) with radioactive bullets, double damage for full health, and she just dices up groups lol. I usually just hide behind a wall until she cleans house albeit 1 or 2 stragglers.
See thats the problem though, and why I never give a compaion a good gun, its counter productive, yes they will mow thru things, but this is not a normal rpg, if you don't do at least 25% damage you gain 0 exp. In other action rpgs u'd get exp for even ally kills whether you hit it or not, there is a mod that lowers this to less than 1%, but you still need to at least hit them once, and that can be hard to do when your companion basically aimbots them dead on sight. Mind you I am early game, so when fighting higher level enemies its probably alot less of an issue with how inflated their health pool gets.
100%. Gave Andreja a particle shotgun that does 200+ combined damage but still has 40+ range and noticed I was getting way less XP with her murdering everything.
I'm a bit confused by what you mean, I'd argue that staggering is actually better than explosive. With the raging river of bullets the microgun spews out, they'll almost certainly end up stunlocked, and a stunlocked target is pretty much just a dead target the game hasn't noticed yet.
I could be wrong, but I think explosive does more damage.
I had it in a coachman. The explosive shots would delete a room of enemies while the regular shot would take 2-3 hits to kill 1. The downside is it would often kill me too lol.
Ah, you're right. The difference is, a coachman is a burst damage weapon, and different guns are better suited to different effects.With a gun like the coachman where you run in and deal gobs of damage with a single shot, a nice 25% damage boost takes the gun from powerful to one-shot levels of powerful. (Idk the actual numbers, but 25% feels about right.) Explosive is best suited to weapons that deal loads of damage per trigger pull. Likewise, staggering is better for a gun that deals small amounts of damage over and over again every second. The effect would be significantly less effective on a coachman, since you're only hitting them 1-3 times, meaning you only get 1-3 chances for the random effect to happen. And if it does activate, it only stuns the enemy for a second or two. By the time you've loaded your next set of rounds, the stun is over and they're shooting again. Barely any help.
But with a microgun that shoots a bazillion bullets per second, you're getting a chance to stagger the enemy *on each individual hit.* Because of this, the effect is happening several times a second. Meaning, the stuns will happen consecutively without pause, stunning them completely for as long as they keep taking hits. They're basically frozen in place as you hold your crosshair over them and power wash away their health bar.
Take a microgun and put explosive on it, and it's really just a dps boost. An awesome-looking dps boost for sure, but it just deals more damage. Just like the staggering coachman, it's barely any more effective than a common variant.
But put *both* of them on the weapon with the highest rate of fire in the game, and nothing in the heavens or the earth can possibly stand against you. Really, I don't think I could ever imagine a more powerful and fun combo than a staggering/explosive microgun. Just hold down left click and watch the enemies disintegrate before your eyes.
Not on a microgun. Bash off heavies is pretty high(unarmed and weapon mass boost bash damage) but instigating making that first like 2 damage after armour into 4....oooo saves you 1 bullet. Whereas bashing at least you can save like 10-20 with a bash when they close or execute a downed enemy
Idk ive knocked down many lvl 96 elites and tbh id rather walk up and skull bash them with my minigun vs wasting another 80 rounds on that last 80 health since they have 400 phys armour and the microgun does like .6hp damage to em per bullet. But then again thats on me for taking on hawking system at level 20 i guess.
Shattering is like 25% dmg reduction reduction. So on a microgun say a lvl96 pirate removes 9 of the 14 damage per hit with shattering its now 8 instead of 5 getting through. Its quite good. Rapid also great
Wait, so Shattering stacks with armor piercing rounds? I've always assumed they were pointless to use together because Shattering says "breaks through even the toughest armor", lol.
Right? I don’t get how they think it’s useless, it basically gets double damage on every first hit, because everyone’s on full health till I start mowing them down with his thing.
Edit: ok I thought about it a bit more and I guess this only adds 12 damage to the first bullet, which is kinda wack. Better to have a percentage that applies to every shot, due to the low per shot damage with high shot rate.
High fire rate low damage doesnt want any %. You want them to have status. Like incendiary rad corrosive etc because those are great buffs/dmg but small chance per shot(microgun def gonna proc corrosive damage and armour shred at least once every 6 seconds) stagger armour shred all them things good on em too, but the best for micros imo is rapid-furious-stagger because wall of lead, they get stunned so you focus fire and of course if they dont move you dont miss making furious quickly hit 10x damage per shot
i got skip shot or whatever its called on a coachmen. every 4th shot shoots two rounds, but is useless on the coachmen because it resets on reloads lol

"Out of Ammo"
Not if you have your companion equip it, they get unlimited ammo, I have Andreja shooting up everywhere we go lol
My only complaint is that companions won’t just hold the trigger on the thing. They dance around too much and fire it in really short bursts.
I find the grenade launcher to be better for companions, but they have no problem blowing you up if you're near an enemy.
I gave Andreja the Novablast Disruptor tonight and within 5 minutes she shot me with it. We were in a hallway, alone. Just turned around and \*BLAM\*
“I love you. You must die.”
Most fun I have had in the game was boarding a pirate ship that was zero G, forgot my companion had a grenade launcher. Wow it was wild
Lol, best laugh this morning, 🤣 Thank you
Made me piss. Lol
Yeah I was looting a space station and I had given andreja a GL. Lady please relax I only have so many med kits
There's no friendly fire.
There is. I have been injured by my companions grenade launcher too often, I would swap it but it's fun to watch enemies randomly fly across the room
And just normal frag grenades.
Tell that to Sam sprinting into my line of fire and getting burst headshots
Really? I thought her rockets were blowing me to shit.
There is ff. You can down your followers, though not kill. Same can't be said about you tho - splash damage is a bitch
Friendly fire isn't
This. Also if you jump around too much, often they just get stuck somewhere and you're on your own.

You get XP for every kill you get. If you’re not killing more people than your companions with any gun you just are slow or suck at the game.

Honestly all of it except explosive is pretty ass.. actually nvm insti is just the worst.
Staggering is at least sorta useful in that this thing will just stun lock what you point it at.
Yeah I was gonna say staggering is great when you’re rolling your rng that many times per second😂

i'd rather have instigating than bashing.

Bashing requires melee range and if they got into melee range when i have a microgun i have failed

But then again thats on me for taking on hawking system at level 20 i guess.
Does Shattering ignore all armor? If so, that'd be the ideal one for the microgun over instigating.

Exactly. I'm not saying instigation in general is bad! I love it on high damage rifles! It's great! But for the haha it go brrrrrrt , nah.
Stagger is huge with this gun. More rounds equals more chances to stagger. As long as your hitting, the enemy will be crippled the entire time.
Wow, but like, the first bullet will do TWENTY-FOUR damage!!!
i got skip shot or whatever its called on a coachmen. every 4th shot shoots two rounds, but is useless on the coachmen because it resets on reloads lol
I've got a four shot coachman I'd send you if I could lol Rolled with whatever the perk is to double magazine capacity.
