Great post. I didn't even think about saving the heavy ammo for later. Here are a few things I learned from other sources and personal experience: (Sorry if I am repeating someone else's advice--I haven't read the entire thread yet) [b][u]1.[/u][/b] When you use Suros Regime with the Focused Fire upgrade, you can ADS (aim down sights) and fire it like a scout rifle (one trigger pull per shot) at a faster fire rate, approaching that of the normal fire rate. You will still get the increased damage, so you can really wail on a target. Don't fire it too quickly (faster than normal fire rate) or else it will lock up on you. Note: you might be able to do this with any auto rifle with the Focused Fire perk, but I haven't tested it yet. [b][u]2.[/u][/b] Your Agility stat can dramatically affect both movement speed [i]and[/i] jump height/distance. If you need to jump higher, try maxing out your agility. Great example: when playing VoG, at the part where you have to jump across the chasm using the disappearing platforms, I usually switch from my Sunsinger survivalist build (with max Toughness and Recovery, low Agility) to my Voidwalker class with max Agility and the glide ability with improved directional control. I can usually leap all the way across the chasm in one jump if I use glide in short bursts and save some of it to break my fall on landing. Works every time. It's also great for PvP, where it can really help you maneuver around the enemy for a flanking position or a quick ambush. In PvP I recommend sacrificing Toughness for Agility, because so many weapons/supers/grenades will kill you in one hit regardless of your Toughness stat. Note: I haven't really tested this, but I think a higher Agility also increases the number of times you can sprint-stop-sprint (or sprint-slide-sprint) before you are penalized with a sprint cooldown time. Or maybe it reduces the cooldown time before activating the third sprint in the sequence. I don't remember exactly. When I get home from work in a few days I will test this. [b][u]3.[/u][/b] Fusion rifles have a "range" stat, but it works differently from the range stat on other weapons. Fusion rifles do not suffer damage fall-off at any range, and they do not stop until the collide with something. Instead, the projectiles begin to slow down after a certain range. So the fusion rifle's "range" stat works more like the "velocity" stat on a rocket launcher. Slower projectile speed makes it harder to hit moving targets at a distance. Theoretically you could "lead" your shots slightly, but that's very difficult to master. Combined with the projectile spread, it can be very difficult to hit a long-distance target with even half of the projectiles. But for large, slow-moving bosses, it can be fairly easy. Note that fusion rifles don't do precision damage. [b][u]4.[/u][/b] There are 5 "invisible" weapon stats that aren't visually displayed or quantified but are sometimes referred to in perk descriptions. These are: [b]Optics[/b] - Determines the zoom level while ADS and multiplies the Range stat by the zoom factor while ADS. Scopes add more zoom on top of the base zoom factor. (E.g. An auto rifle with 1.5x base zoom + 1.5x zoom scope = 2.0x zoom Optics, which would double your weapon's Range while ADS.) [b]Weapon Handling[/b] - Determines the speed of weapon swapping and aiming for that weapon. It breaks down into 3 sub-stats: ready, away, and ADS. Some perks modify one or two of these sub-stats, while others modify Weapon Handling as a whole. [b]Accuracy[/b]: Determines the deviation of each round from reticle position at the moment of fire. A simple term for it would be "projectile spread." For shotguns and fusion rifles, projectile spread is a more precise term, since they fire multiple projectiles at the same time. (Note: Not to be confused with Stability, Recoil, or Range.) [b]Recoil[/b] - Determines the direction and severity of a weapon's recoil. Direction and severity are actually sub-stats that can be modified separately by various perks. Some perks offer "more predictable recoil"--they modify the direction, usually making your weapon recoil straight upward rather than side to side. Stability modifies recoil [i]severity[/i], but it is still a separate stat. That's why some perks offer "reduced recoil" but don't appear to affect the stability stat. [b]Target Acquisition[/b] - A.k.a. "Aim-Assist". It Determines how much your aim will be corrected when you ADS toward an enemy, and how aggressively it will automatically track a moving target you are aiming at. I still need to test this more to figure out the exact mechanisms at play here. Let me know if you have any questions, additional information, or disagreements on any of this! And most importantly: bump!
