are weapons limited to 80%

are weapons limited to 80% i have yet to see any weapon with a stat over 80% is this intentional?

[RNG]

Yep. That is how they are time-gating our progression on top of the atrocious Shop RNG.
It is maximum 80% on 4-stats out of 5. And the highest item power is around 560 currently but you will NEVER see that. It's less than a 0.5% chance to get a weapon that is 375+ item power level or higher and you have to upgrade it and get good rolls each time.
You only need 400-500 for Heresy and 450-520 for Damnation. There isn't much change beyond that.

It's just Fatshark's friendly reminder that all of our "efforts" (does hoping for rng couns as effort) for getting good weapons are meaningless, because they will just release another higher quality of weapons and all our stuff will become obsolete.

I can tolerate this kind of things when the new and better gear comes at the same time as a good amount of new playable content. Something like when WoW released a new expansion. But here... Just wait. They will add another difficulty and expect you to play the same missions again in hopes of getting new quality gear.

Yes, now some believe they are going to introduce red weapons that go to 100% but who knows

lol fatshark is out of touch, but not that out of touch.

Rumor mill has it that they're going to release two more levels of gear in the future. First with 90% being max, then later 100%.

I don’t believe they will tie progression in anyway to the cash shop but any new classes you will definitely have to pay real money for.

but even some blue items can have 80%, how would the current item rarity scale as legendary maxes the same

[Grimshot]

I assumed they left the max at 80% in case they wanted to add some system for modding weapons at some point. Perhaps they do intend to add red weapons eventually.

weapons:

380 base modifier
50 perks
110 blessings
540 max.

there is a bug where some items are displaying higher combined values than the actual combined value.

curios:

80 base blessing
75 perks
155 max.

perks and weapon blessings come in 4 tiers:
perks: 10/15/20/25
weapon blessings: 25/35/45/55

base modifiers and base blessings are a weighted distribution, not a 1:1, max modifier is 80%.

this is all 'currently', and subject to change if they add more weapon tiers.
