[quote=“bahihs, post:5021, topic:42”]I built a pneumatic bolt driver, thinking it was vastly superior to pneumatic assault rifle; yet the weight penalty of carrying useful ammo (metal bolts) vastly outweigh’s advantages like penetration.
Which do you guys prefer? And what mods do you use on these weapons?[/quote]
I never used the pneumatic assault rifle, because bolt driver’s stats just looked so much better to me.
It’s a very solid gun, it can easily wreck robots of all kinds (looking at stats alone, it should be able to eventually wear down a tank drone). Pneumatic rifle might be better for some unarmored enemies and maybe for training, because its ammo is even cheaper than bolt driver’s, but I’d rather just melee those.
For me, the choice is not pneumatic rifle vs bolt driver, but bolt driver vs reflex recurve bow. You need strength for the bow and its ammo takes more effort to make, but its stats rival bolt driver’s and once you get enough skill you can spam arrows like crazy.
All silent weapons are great vs robots. Robots have no sense of smell, meaning they can only find you when you’re visible or moving. Standing still and plonking at bots will not get you noticed.
