Re: Charge Rifle vs Havoc and Select Fire
Hello @Biochemikas !
You're right, I made the mistake of mixing up some information of the slow-down effect of ammo types with the actual projectile speed. 😞
So lets correct that.
I found the Reddit thread I was pulling my info from. Especially from the developer comments made there. I will put them down as bullet points:
- Energy ammo weapons have the faster projectile speed and lowest bullet drop in any category of weapons.
- The shotguns have the lowest projectile speed.
- No attachment (other than havoc single fire) affects bullet travel speed.
So after some digging online, I found all the stats from the weapons. I created a graph below which shows the bullet travel speed of the different weapons. I coloured the different ammo types in their colours. Also, note that there is no mention anywhere that the velocity of bullets drops over distance. The actual bullet drops, but not the velocity.
Some observations
- The L-star has definitely one of the slowest velocities in the game as it sits right there between the shotguns.
- As you correctly said, the wingman shots travel way more slowly than the longbow one! Maybe I should indeed start writing poems instead.
- Shotgun projectile speeds are very low.
- I wasn't expected such a big difference between the prowler and flatline or hemlok.
- Energy ammo weapons have the highest projectile speed for sure.
- Snipers have in general a higher bullet
Of course, bullet velocity doesn't say everything, but it definitely interesting to compare the weapons!
