Frostbite is great

[Zhurtek]

As a long time Synthetik player, this gun has rapidly become my favorite in the game. Feels good to use, does solid damage, and rewards skillfull play

What are its lvl2 and 3 upgrades? So far i have only lvl1, but i already like because im a fan of active reload in games.

Don't have the tier 3 yet, but the t2 gives you a smaller window for the perfect reload and makes your first shot freeze, while boosting the first 3 shots damage more

And each subsequent perfect reload is smaller and smaller. Just unlocked it

is forstbite the bolt action that charges up?

tier 3 - 3 perfect reloads in a row and your first shot freezes, does double damage and leaves a frost trail that freezes stuff that walks through it. I domed the training dummy guy for 246.

I need to figure out what the Angelus T3 is... because that gun with last bullet (100% dmg on your last bullet), a shield break (~150% dmg) and cornucopia (unlimited last bullets for 20s) turns it into a 20mm auto-cannon. No Last Bullet/Cornucopia it is already hitting for 50s. I can only imagine what T3 is. That being said, Angelus feels game breaking in the sense that it fixes the shortcomings of Midas (low dmg) and Riccochet (low ammo). I just don't see the use case for those guns anymore.

I'd like to see the existing guns buffed a bit (give me 5 riccochet targets and 5 shots to trigger big lightning and some ammo economy pls).

Oh and if Echo had 2x as much ammo or if the slide reload gave free bullets, it would be a really really good weapon.

No. Frostbite was released today. It is a bolt action that has the perfect reload mechanic from Gears of War, which triggers increased damage for 3 shots and later freeze on the first shot.

I tried to use a macro to get the timing 100% but learned the reload bar moves enough on consecutive reloads to fool the macro. Not too hard to do it manually though, and easier than Hypnosis, which is the charge up bolt-action.

Ricochet is still a god weapon against groups of enemies when combined with shock on enemies, since each ricochet triggers lightning separately.

With the critical shot perk the riccochet works really well. Without that, you're out of ammo in a couple encounters. That's the only downside to riccochet. Low ammo.

Not really, while it has a bad ammo exonomy against single enemies, it has really good ammo economy against groups because of how quickly you can clear them.
