DLC weapons have "fake spec." We all are being deceived.

(Since I'm not from an English speaking country, my English will be sometimes hard to comprehend, on top of many typo.)

::: Experiment 1 :::

Marauder Pulse Rifle VS.. MK-V Pulse Rifle

S.C.A.F. Frame / Stasis Coating / Stasis Amplifier

+2 ROF / +2 DAM Circuits X 4

Difficulty on Weapon Crafting Arena : HARD

-------------------------------------------------------------------

:: What we expect ::

1. As the graph says about their spec, Marauder Pulse Rifle will have almost double dmg.

2. But it will also suffer from 1/2, if not less, reloading speed.

3. They will have almost the same amount of ROF.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Damage : They had almost exactly same damage, taking down a normal slasher necromorph with 10 shots on the chest.

Rate of fire : There were no remarkable difference, as far as I can tell from my eyes. 

Reloading speed : They had almost same reloading speed, if not the same.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

::: Experiment 2 :::

 

Sharpshooter Seeker Rifle VS. MK-V Seeker Rifle

S.C.A.F. Frame / Stasis Coating / Stasis Amplifier

+2 ROF / +2 DAM Circuits X 4

Difficulty on Weapon Crafting Arena : IMPOSSIBLE

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Damage : Sharpshooter had less damage output, not able to taking out slasher necromorph with one shot on the chest.

                   MK-V Seeker Rifle can take out slasher necromorph with one shot on the chest.

Rate of fire : There were no remarkable difference, as far as I can tell from my eyes. 

Reloading speed : They had almost same reloading speed, if not the same.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

::: Experiment 3 :::

 

Evangelizer Carbine VS. Evangelizer Shotgun

S.C.A.F. Frame / Stasis Coating / Stasis Amplifier

+2 ROF / +2 DAM Circuits X 4

Difficulty on Weapon Crafting Arena : IMPOSSIBLE

-------------------------------------------------------------------

When we dismantle Evangelizer weapon, shotgun has much less reloading speed according to the bench graph spec.

But it was not.

 

Reloading speed : They had almost same reloading speed, if not the same.

Furthermore, MK-V shotgun, which has reloading time three times as short as Evangelizer shotgun's(according to the bench graph),

had the same reloading speed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Seriously, what is this?

You guys sold DLC weapons to the people who wants to "be ahead."

and there were  these graphs that saying "THOSE ARE AWESOME!"

Well, those graphs on the BENCH I believed, and now I'm here, posting this, feeling like I just got perfectly screwed.

Any ideas / excuses?

    Suggestion : Dump those graphs. Show us the numbers.

    I agree, maybe have a number saying actual damage output per round / reload speed in X.XX seconds etc. inside the bar on the bar graphs. It really is annoying to have to do lots of testing just to see if your new part actually does more damage.
