Only available in small, extremely close range (500m) and very inaccurate. Doesn't seem at all worth it
Disappointed by Archon Weapon (Cytoscrambler)
- Thread starter Alexander the Grape
- Start date
Any chance of posting stats or anything. I've not seen any of the powerplay weapons pop up yet...
Edit: Also depends, if you are on an Anaconda with 4 of them and a bunch of multicannons they may work great. Can't test myself sadly I was late to sign up to any power...

So far from testing it on some NPCs it seems very good for a small weapon, just not worth the drawbacks, ill upload some footage/screenshots shortly

damn. i hope to have a normal burst with improvement shield and no hull damage..no thiniking about a little weapon like this....may can be used only in little ships for shield breaking of transport ship..
The ?
Glorious. As soon as I get access (still at 3 weeks, 6 days), I intend to do a side-by-side comparison of the cytoscrambler and the regular fixed burst. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll be sure to post my results.
Just tried it in a conflict zone and recorded the results. It seems marginally better than standard fixed burst if the following conditions are met:
- Your enemy is heavily shielded
- Your enemy is Python sized or larger
- Your enemy is much slower and less maneuvrable than you
- You are closer than 500m away
- You have a lot of spare weapons capacitance
In short, it's so situational as to be functionally useless. I'd say it's about on par with the mining laser in terms of usability

You know in the first Elite i played on Speccy, mining laser was pretty good

Watch it in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2z1O_WDPBQ&feature=youtu.be
The Code just tested it versus a beam laser of the same size (c1) vs a python 4 pips in shield with 2 shield boosters and 'a' class shields. Weapons are at 0 pips and fired until capacitor charge runs out.
@ 481Meters
Cyto: 6% damage
Beam: 18%
@ 300 metres
Cyto: 12% damage
Beam: 18% damage
@100 metres
Cyto: 21% damage
Beam: 18%
50 Metres (we're bored):
Cyto: 21% damage
Beam: 18%
So... thanks for that weapon that does less damage than a beam except at stupid close range and uses more power in capacitor use and in module power drain. Woooh. Pretty colour though.

17% more damage is well worth only being usable against large shielded opponents at extremely close range!
I definitely feel rewarded for 4 weeks of commitment /s

It's purple though!
HAHAHAHA thats so bad its good. I can so imagine those frontier devs laughing as they realise those delained griefers and pirates will get this beauty of a weapon. This is so the right weapon for a Fer De Lance!
