A question about Big Guns.
« on: September 20, 2015, 11:47:24 pm »
I searched the forum for different builds and I read that for a sniper build. If you have 300% small guns, you can use a sniper rifle just fine with a strength of 1, even though a sniper rifle requires a strength of 5 to use it without trouble.

So my question(s) are: Is this still true? And does this also apply to other builds such as a guy who uses Big Guns and or Energy weapons? So if I have a Strength of 1, and 300% big guns, can I use BG without any downsides?

Well as i am told.
You will still have penalties but they will be non Existent so if you have 1 str you can use an avenger minigun or a plasma rifle without Penalty.

Yes, Styles. Check the wiki page entitled "Hit Chance" and you'll see all of the factors in the To-Hit formula. Gun Skill is one of them. For each ST point less than the weapon's requirement, you suffer 20% less chance to hit a target. So raising your gun skill 20 points higher will compensate.
