Seems to me like it's just a case where it doesn't fit your playstyle, which is fine, that's why you can build weapons to your liking. Originally posted by Foster:The BRT is a pretty good utility for stunning enemies, including Praetorians, consistently 100% of the time for a low ammo cost while having several seconds' worth of it. It's not impossible or even that much harder to succeed with a now more powerful BRT though. It's not that the BRT is bad or useless or what have you, you just prefer being able to outright kill single targets with your secondary given that your primary is generally capable of dealing with swaths of enemies, and if you're playing with others you do tend to have people watching your back. I think that you're just overvaluing it and undervaluing the BRT and even other overclocks for the Bulldog as a result. Other bulldog overclocks allow for this as well, but the BRT has even more ammo allowing you to more effectively use it for this purpose.Īll that said, Elephant Rounds is objectively a great overclock for what its intended use is, which is killing heavy single targets or weakening them up for your allies or those moments when there's one chunk more of health on an enemy like a Dreadnought or Bulk Detonator and you can use it to save tons of ammo. If you DO miss even once then you just knocked an entire Praetorian kill out of your ammo pool's potential, though that's for killing it outright and not weakening it heavily to your allies' fire, but you were looking at it from a pure 1 on 1 perspective in your post so I am as well.Īs well, due to your extremely limited ammo pool, you have to reserve it SPECIFICALLY for killing heftier foes as opposed to being able to use it as a backup weapon in case you get swarmed and need to be able to shoot and move at the same time, which is not only possible but entirely likely especially on Haz 4 and up. You have about 16 shots if you mod for pure damage which is required for being able to 3 to 4 shot a Praetorian, as a result you knock your total number of Praetorians you can kill down to 4 when in a full squad.įrom there, we also have to consider that Elephant Rounds increases recoil by 2.5x and spread per shot by 2x which means the potential for you missing follow-up shots not because you suck but because of the sometimes erratic ways that Praetorians and other creatures move. Sure you can kill 5 praetorians in about 3 shots each on Haz 4 solo, but you need about 4 with a full team. Something to consider is that pure damage isn't necessarily everything, utility can be far more worthwhile potentially. It's deceptively capable of dealing with enemies post-buff, it has a very high reserve ammo pool compared to the Bulldog so you don't need to go for ammo as consistently, and it's fun to use. The BRT is a pretty good utility for stunning enemies, including Praetorians, consistently 100% of the time for a low ammo cost while having several seconds' worth of it.Īll of its overclocks are also very straightforwards and are overall pretty much just positives excepting the Electro Minelets, so you can toss them onto almost any build you go for with it and have it work out to a net positive.
