dual power claws?

[dark_fighter_x]

is a brawler with one power claw more effecitve at combat with two or no? this answer determines whether i give this person an arco arm and i honestly can't see any in game way to tell.

I'm not sure about combat, but they will lose ability outside combat as power claws have less manipulation than arms.

not true since the .19 update, playing right now and i can say for certian the "part effeciency" of a power claw is 100%, even says in the part description that it works the same as an organic arm

It may have 100% efficiency, BUT we're talking about replacing one of those 2 with an arcotech, that has 150%. That's why he made the thread. To know if he's getting anything at all by having 2 claws or the second is just a glorified arm that isn't increasing anything. To that, I don't know the answer.

What if I have power claw and melee weapon?

The colonist will use the melee weapon for melee, but anytime que uses a fist will use the claw used to be cool with ranged weapons to have a melee backup but they use now the weapon for striking.

melee fighter will be more efficient with double bionic and slow high damage per hit weapon.

i did some googling around and found a post on the ludeon forums that SAYS two power claws are better than one for melee but it didn't show any proof other than heresay so unless someone would like to set up an imperical test of some sort i suppose the truth will never be 100% clear

i should also note for anyone curious that, while the power claw is not the #1 best melee weapon in the game if you can find it early then it's pretty high up there, like, plasteel gladius up there, only thing i know that tops that is the uranium mace i think? so while i still have no idea how two power claws stack up it is still an incredibly good choice for a melee build. takes out most unarmored enemies in 3 hits, 2 if lucky.

Old thread I know, but having power claws do not impede manipulation http://prntscr.com/mg6d70
