Personal EM Weapons

[Abstract-Player]

Hello

I'm looking for list of personal EM weapons. I know, Novablast can do that.

But I think there was a weapon upgrade for some weapons so that they also can do EM damage ( by far not the same amount as the Novablast can do ). Or am I wrong !?

Would love to have a silenced automatic weapon with EM damage. Then a small damage output per bullet would be okay.

Is that possible ?

A few weapons have an EM mod.
The two mod are em charged shot and electromagnetic beams.
From the web:

these weapons:
**Breach
Old Earth Shotgun
Pacifier
**Shotty
Coachman
Lawgiver

**?Solstice
**Equinox
Novalight
Orion
Pacifier

where ** can ALSO be full auto. The lists may not be complete, though. I did my best from memory + web resources. From memory, the shotguns DO NOT LOSE DAMAGE from being set to full auto. The equinox may, I don't remember. A small number of other guns go FA without losing damage, notably the magshot, but it can't be made EM. The solstice is a special snowflake in some ways as to how mods on it work, but it may be a great pick.

you probably want a purple or gold base weapon with stuff like furious or anti-personnel for this project.

testing a little, high quality advanced guns with maxed out damage converted:
breach, full auto, 526 damage becomes * 28 * damage with em shots.
shotty went from 260 to 28
novalight went from 48+186 to *11* (binary trigger)

only had a calibrated equinox and it went from 25 to 11 with no other mods than EM

From this I would pick the shotty or take a look at the solstice to see what it does. I didn't have one and I don't feel like hunting one down.

Wow, this is really great. Thank you very much!

I will check this out. The reason why I was asking for is.. I want EM in stealth missions. I have 2 problems with Novablaster: it's not silenced, even shooting in closed rooms will alert enemies behind the walls.. and often it cannot put enemys down in first shot.

So I would like to try other weapons. Of course they have lower EM output, but maybe with full auto shooting.. it is enough to bring one down.. silenced.

Oh and I forgot about the 5x damage when doing hidden/sneaky attacks. Will this count for EM also ?!

Yes it does, but how effective and how many shots it will take will depend on your game setting. Don't even try to mess with it on Very Hard. Should work ok on Normal.

I was not awaiting much. Breach and Shotty is to slow in full auto. Solstice I have tested before posting the question, there is no silencer.

Only Equinox is left now, it has 14 EM damage now. Was just testing with my mates on very hard and it takes 1 ammo mag ( not fully ) to bring one person down.

But it's silenced and the magazin is empty in just a second. So I will give it a try.

I will think so too.. but let's have a try.. ^^

And as said.. there is 5x damage multiplier when sneaking.. but I would assume this will count on first bullet only.
