Modified Gauss Cannon

The problem FD always seems to have is that they want a balanced end product (okay fine) but they put a huge grind wall up front to get it.. so as it’s been said, what’s the point? Like shock cannons, A PAs, even Hammers, the end module is not really an upgrade for the original, just a variation. If one puts in the work to unlock them they actually should be significantly unbalanced, and over powered. That’s the payoff for the grind.

In my experience unless there is some recent change from u13. These modified gauss canons are far inferior to standard gauss when fighting thargoids. They don’t fire single slugs rather pieces/fragments and while they can fire quicker their damage output is much lower making them ineffective. I found they where a waste of matts and soon found myself back at the guardian sites getting more so I could “downgrade” to the far superior standard gauss.

I let the OP have a good read of this. It was my exact experience.

In essence this Modified Gauss needs more shots to deal a decent damage due to jitter/spread and damage drop off, ending up increasing heat and forcing the use of more heatsinks.

To fix this weapon and make them worth the unlock Frontier should:

1. Reduce thermal load by half to compensate the extra shots needed;

2. Reduce burst shot spread and jitter;

3. Increase damage drop-off start to 2000m;

4. Maybe even dial up damage a notch so the weapon would be an actual upgrade from the regular Guardian Gauss Cannon.

Otherwise it would be just another useless feature added to the game where nobody uses it.


Cheers!
