Elek's Equilizer - where ? how ?

[yorglaa]

For Elek's perk "Fire Support" second level, I should find (or craft) a blue equilizer for Elek...
But wherever I go, whatever I do, no way to find such weapon...
What is the way to obtain it ?

In higher levels blue grade drops will be pretty common.
Also you can craft it if you have the blueprint.
Or upgrade the green one, if you have components.

Equalizer is a variant of the Coil Gun that appears only on blue rarity or higher, it'll show the manufacturer as "Federal Arms & Crafts". So you can craft blue coil guns until you get one (not very efficient IMO), or just keep an eye out for coil gun icons in shops and when picking up loot.

I believe one of the renown rewards or something you can achieve around the time you're getting into Union also provide one guaranteed.

I'm almost certain that you can't craft one. Just to be sure, I crafted 40 blue coil guns at level 23, and none of them were special in any way. Just basic coil guns.

So your only options are to get one as the Renown level 3 reward, purchase one from a shop if you see it, or have one drop in the wild.

Yeah just keep playing as normal and you'll get it eventually.

He doesn't really help that much so don't worry too much about it.

Elek is useless anyway...

[Izuzul]

Rank 3 mission reward for getting renown from doing jobs.

Thanks for the answers... unfortunately I already passed the rank 3 of renown... and I am afraid I mistakenly dismantled it !

Don't worry, you still can get this gun as a drop from enemies.
And yeah, like people said Elek is kinda useless.

He literally never helped me when I really needed it. Not even once in serious fights. Just few times against few outlaws that could be killed just by my drones.
That's why I suggested to make him as an active skill, instead of that random.

Make sure you track the requirements for perks and it will flag the right type of Coil gun when you get it. I used one for a long time but mistakenly dismantled it when I was clearing my inventory. It took me very long time to get it again, at which point I immediately finished the perk just to be done with it.

Elek is useless as much as people above state. It would be great if he was able to show in high-risk areas, which are the only places where i struggle while progressing the story.
