Blast Rifle
(Assault Rifles)
Weapon
Extremely high rate of fire but a strong recoil profile requires skill to control
Attaching mods to your weapon will adjust the appearance of those areas.
Stats
Important Note: These stats are not 100% confirmed, they may need to be adjusted based on bonus rolls or mods. Especially the DMG values, since Power Rating and Rarity now affect them.

Ok, so using the Wolfhound / Wildcat, Interceptors and Blast Rifles, if we assume that damage is calculated with the following formula : scaled damage = base damage x (1 + EGO x c)Then we get c ~=...

It can happen with any multi-pellet weapon such as VOT Blast Rifles as well. And like you said, Dark Matter Arkfalls with the EGO boost is where it happens the most, but it can happen anywhere.Rashere: Will Blast Rifles ever, you know.. Not suck?

Blast rifle is an odd case since part of the problem is perception due to the stat display not showing the x3 shot damage. My plan is to fix that first since even if I were to bump the damage by...Rashere: Will Blast Rifles ever, you know.. Not suck?

Likely within the next month or so. The fix should be retroactive, like the change I made to the birdshot pump a few weeks ago.Rashere

I remember Blast Rifles being a popular PvP weapon for some time, with it's nano proc rate, and how forgiving it was when shooting from the hip. It wasn't the best in DPS but it didn't need to be....maverick07: Defiance 2.600 to PTS: Colony Courtship!
9 years ago (January 28, 2015, 4:59 pm)
Yeah, the more I think about it, the blast rifle has a lower crit and base reload time too. It will probably need that much extra DMG for people to use it over the other good ARs in PvE.I might...

If you're landing every shot, it has roughly the same DPS as an AR now (baseline guns).Rashere: The Blast Rifle. Another gun that needed to be trifled with.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but the blast rifle (and mazu blast rifle) now does about the same DPS as an AR, comparing baseline weapons obviously as mods/bonuses affect things. DPS accounts for...Rashere: The Blast Rifle. Another gun that needed to be trifled with.

It's easier to hit the target, but harder to hit with all 3 rounds per burst which is the key point. The damage assumes all 3 rounds are landing, compared to a single round from an AR. If you're only...Tekrunner: Dmg From Manufacturer's and Faction Bonus Not Applying

Looks a lot like the DC11 was equipped. So maybe the radiant solstice blast rifle doesn't actually have a +5% dmg bonus, and that's just a display issue. King Stud, could you post the damage values...Destromathe: Defiance 3.005 to PTS

It already has higher DPS than the normal Blast Rifle with its current mag and reload times. I'm not inclined to further boost it by increasing the base mag.Rashere: December Synergy to PTS
