Just for players who don't know there are Descendant modules that add Firearm % damage. I don't see a crit rate module yet.

This module is hard to get.

Isn't it the one from transmuting the mods? Cerul one? After so many Valby runs everyone should get one, if you was combining them tho.

Valby is not a guaranteed Cerulean. Faster method is farming Fortress Bunny Cave tons of Polymers and you can open Polymer related reactor for more Cerulean.

It costs me around 10-15m worth of combining to get it.

It won't be patched. The Gley Build that does 41 million damages swaps to the previous build PURELY for the sake of generating resources.

It would be ridiculous to patch out, and would artificially punish her whereas other characters (like bunny) do not lose resources on page swapping.

This is being completely removed for everyone next week. Dev confirmed on news page.

You guys seems don't understand. They give you 5 rounds. You make a shot from Piercing Light and then instantly switch to another arm for 10 seconds, while the module is in the cooldown. You can make 5 shots like that with maximum damage, then you are out of ammo.

Yes, that means that Piercing Light is better.

i have yet to see evidence that this claim is true

until then
it remains pure garbage due to abysmal damage output compared to after glow
even after all the guide videos say it should hit harder when it clearly doesnt

evidence being a 1shot that takes off shields and (some ) HP of devourer -
consistently

i dont know if this makes the weapon better if u have 10 second cooldown and cant shoot with it.

loaded up the game to take a shot at devourer

this is the SECOND time i managed to take off shields with a single shot


followed by not even 100k damage on a weakpoint
and white numbers after

It's inferior yes, but it's also easier to get than Afterglow by a "HUGE" margin. Afterglow is the WORST grind I have ever done in the game, ultimate descendants are easier to get than the afterglow was. So it's balanced by what a pain it is to get it. I got two of them crafted, and basically said it's not worth getting 3 more.

why would guides claim it hits harder
when it clearly does NOT

Piercing light's utilization isn't so much damage, but utility. Removing the buff on certain bosses/colossi is a good thing. Like the executioner losing his damage resistance after his first frenzy is a really good thing.

compare the numbers and point at the ones that are responsible for piercing light only hitting 30% of afterglows damage

it just doesnt make sense

the confusion is solved

streamer was doing devourer on NORMAL mode


holy sh*t my brain

As I said, it won't happen. There's a lot of builds, a lot of module switching. Certain exploits may, indeed, occur. Gley's, however, is here to stay.

Because, again, that'd imply we'd see resources end up dumped on all characters on module swap. That's not happening. The uproar would be legendary.

It's happening, watch.
