I would be "demoralized" too, if someone fired a cluster of micro explosives in my face. It probably wouldn't be my biggest problem, but I'd be pretty sad about it.
First of all, the boostpack is your friend. Rise up and rain down hell. And I also carry that revolver gun with a mod that shoots twice per trigger and also a scope, for both extreme close range and long range
@grimmlinn That risk adds to the fun. When taking over a spaceship I'll blast several enemies with one shot (of my Bridger - the Cochman's big brother) and heal rapidly to survive the blast.
love having an extended mag coachman, I like to go to charybdis III and fire upwards, it aggros loads of aliens and they just head towards you, a little conga line of XP 😂but yeah... I blow myself up a lot with it too 😂😂
Yes! I had a good one on first run, with ext mag and concussive . Was awesome for cqb. For higher level I put hornets nest on and destroyed the 3 high level Terrormorphs in New Atl, since I started that quest line way later than usual…
Where do you find this? I've finished up every faction quest and only have the last mission to do in the main quest, plus a lot of side quests and exploring, and I've yet to find one of these.
Finally you covered one of the best weapons in the game! How does Armor Piercing and Shattering work on this weapon? Does it work on only the main shots or does it also work on the explosive blast?
I wanted to test it but I need to record it cause my eyes aren't fast enough, too lazy to do it for now, but eventually curiosity will get me to do math and test things if nobody else does it for me.
Around Level 5 an Extended Magazine Coachman dropped for me. I quickly ranked up Weaponsmithing to mod it so it was my only weapon for a long time. Four shots was enough to take out all enemies.
I have the legendary old earth rifle with ext mag, lacerate and tesla. I got it on the final earth mission, I left the hunter and emissary on earth where they stood and carried on with my game instead of finishing it and going on to NG+ and it's damn good actually
Only level 32 now, and on first playthrough. Legendary items other than the odd knife or helmet have seemingly disappeared from loot drops. And what's with all the level 5 and 8 pirates infesting abandoned facilities ? Aren't enemies supposed to level with you ? Very hard setting.
This has been my experience as well. Regardless of your level and the system level you will still get low level jobber mobs. The boss and mini boss mobs however will be much higher levels.
You need to go for higher level systems, there will always be some lower ones (around 40 for me) but most of them are level 92 with me being 172, in addition, NG+ increases difficulty as well w/o telling you, increasing dmg taken and decreasing dmg you deal upto NG+10 where you do half the dmg and take double
I found an explosive coachman. Thought it would be a good idea to mod it with hornets nest... Totally awesome, but I kept killing myself. Had to give it up and join Explosives Anonymous. Sigh, I do miss the show at night...maybe just one more. Couldn't hurt to have just one more, right?
I'm at the very end of my first playthrough (before NG) and I ended up creating a legendary ADVANCED Old Earth Assault Rifle with the console because the game refuses to drop any. I went to Earth at the NASA launching facility and I kept resetting the reward chest inside, I got a bunch of legendary assault rifles but all of them were REFINED. No matter how many times I reset the container all assault rifles were refined... the other stuff like the Old Earth Shotgun and the 1911 went up to ADVANCED but no assault rifle went above refined. I am level 77 and I regularly find Advanced Old Earth Assault Rifles in the shops so level shouldn't be an issue.
Found a double magazine coachman on my first playthrough. Used it for one or two dungeons and then sold it. It's so strong that it makes the game boring. Even with NO damage perks and on very hard it's way too easy with this gun. On top of that you have to watch your distance to not kill yourself. More boring, stressful and annoying than anything else in my opinion :/
