Avenger SX (and probably all the new S weapons) is really solid now (Stat breakdown)

Sorry Bro, in no way in hell is any game going to be designed as if you are handling a real gun when you can shoot lightning bolts out your hand and use your brain to create miniature dark holes in between firing.

ME3MP did have a downside to using barrels and scopes if I remember correctly, but then again im probably thinking about battlefield.

I can't talk to you anymore, I have joined the master race and they are as terrible as we always said they were.

Avenger X does 52 damage per shot and Avenger SX does 66 damage per shot.
That +!4 damage per bullet really adds up with bonuses...




The 30% damage passive is just generic, weapon damage passive. Some characters have 28%, some get/give 20% debuts, you have potential level III ammo, etc...

Barell X with no other passives on Avenger SX will kill all redbars in a single clip on gold.

An annointed’s health and shields comes out to 4275. A single clip of the avenger can almost strip the shields and kill an anointed on gold wot the right setup.  If you use the ammo mod to increase magazine capacity, one clip should now do this with the right passives and gear.


This of course assumes you are hitting your shots. But all the data in the table can be used with a stock as its just with a 30 bullet magazine.

I'm thinking the avenger will be my new favorite AR and something I might actually enjoy playing....put it on a soldier with concussive shot, lots of damage/accuracy passives and turbo charge with elemental ammo and I bet it will be really really strong.





CHARGER vs CHARGER S
Charger X does 48 per shot and the S does 56



Using the rate of fire numbers (not counting any raise time)
,
Avenger SX fully modded takes 3.42s to dish out 3782 damage (full clip) for 1105.8 DPS
Charger SX fully modded = 4.6 seconds to fire its whole (50 rnd) clip for 996.5 DPS

Avenger is also more accurate at 65 vs 56 for charger.

So the Avenger SX does more DPS and is more accurate but the Charger SX can put out damage for ~1.2 more seconds before reloading... but the avenger will land more bullets..

Also the upgrade to the avenger is MORE significant than the upgrade to the charger...
