Paris vs Paris Prime

[Bossmang]

I have both. So, here's my question: Why ordinary Paris deals more damage than Prime? I've got same mods installed, and still the same thing.

[Shan]

It shouldn't. Paris Prime, in it's base, unmodded stats deals more damage than the Paris and due to a higher crit chance should have a higher DPS.

What mods do you have installed?

[Basser]

I assume that you're testing both weapons in-game against the exact same enemies. If that's the case then that's pretty weird, since Prime is a straight up upgrade over the Paris.

Are you using puncture mods? Don't do that.

any specific reason not to use puncture mods on a puncture weapon? but seriosly, prime paris has a 45% crit chance base, normal i think only has 35%
