Alignment index and weapon compability questions

[Nuka-Cola Zero]

1. Is the Aligment Index stat worth investing into? I hear it passively increases the buffs a character gets from their Deiwos alignment (not explained ingame I suppose).

2. Can weapon compability be increased somehow?

Thanks in advance.

Description of what every Aligment Index give is in the game for each character. The same place where their skills are written. And the same goes for Deiwos alignment

1) Open skill description window -> 4th "skill" from the top. It will say what exactly index gives you and how much. That's it. Decide for yourself if it is "worth it" on case-by-case basis.

2) No. It's just stupid way of coming up with unique name for basic thing common in most chinese games. It's scaling/motion value : it shows you how much % of character's attack this gun does on each shot. For shotguns damage listed is per pellet (of which there are 8 by default)

1. Yeah I found that I just didn't know what the Alignment Index stat was for until I've searched it online. So I guess it depends on the agent.

2. Interesting. I was wondering if weapons with smaller magazines (heavy pistols and that Mechanical Cop shotgun with 1 slug) are just plain the worst? Since their damage per bullet/pellet seems the same as other pistols/shotguns. Or maybe they have higher compability?

Yes, unfortunately some weapons are simply terrible. Case in point : snipers. Even with character speciffic damage/fire rate buffs they will lose in dps to any smg/ar user that doesn't even have any gun related bonuses.
As for 6-shooters : they have higher effective range and less spread than fater firing bretheren. Not that you really should be using pistol for damage, since it is used by casters who either don't shoot at all or only shoot to get some form of cooldown mitigation (Abscontus or Agave are prime examples of that)
Mechanized Cop is basically Lionhart Fenny's gun. Her dash gives her bonus shot and if it kills, cooldown is refreshed. So in theory if you are on the roll, you never reload, if you not you reload after every shot. (not that it will ever happen outside of labyrinth or really low level missions)
