VS - Max

[CraazyCanuck]

Which weapon combos are most people running with or recommend for their VS AI Maxes? Another Quasar or the Cosmos with the 75 mag/third slower reload time or Nebula for the improved FR but less dmg? I am leaning toward the Cosmos but the Nebula's twice improved Fire Rate has me stalled in my decision. Unless there's something I'm missing, the Blueshift appears to be a waste of credits/sc with minimal improvement over the Quasar, with any improvement offset by the smaller mag.

I'll run a quick DPS estimate for you.

I got my data from the infamous google docs weapon spreadsheet. Should be updated with the Mar 27 patch.

Quasar: 337 rounds per minute, 167 damage per round => 937.98 dps
Nebula: 400 rounds per minute, 143 damage per round => 953.33 dps
Cosmos: 337 rounds per minute, 167 damage per round => 937.98 dps
(the benefit of the cosmos is larger mag)
Blue Shift: 351 rounds per minute, 167 damage per round => 976.95 dps

This is assuming that every round hits the target in the torso mind you. Bear in mind these are the numbers for -one- arm.

I would buy the Blue Shift myself, but I am terrible at estimating recoil and such from the raw stats. I'd reccommend testing it in the VR.
Though, if you want to save money, just buy the default for the opposing arm.

Thanks for the DPS breakdown.
