How good are anti-xeno weapons in PvE?

[Mama Symphonia]

And I mean specifically normal, non-thargoid PvE. I noticed that the ship launched fighters equipped with anti-xeno weapons have a way higher DPS rating than the others, but I was wondering if that only counted against thargoid targets. Also because I suspect the new Guardian SLFs will be using anti-xeno weapons, I'm trying to decide if whatever fetch quest they require will be worth doing :P

not really at all. The guardian ones will do SOME damage but not comparable to normal ones. The AX MCs and missiles do zero damage to non-alien targets.

the AX SLF was nerfed but it USED to be awesome for PVE.

yes the high dps listed is only against Goids.

AX weaponry is practically useless against non goid targets,
the exception is some of the guardian tech can be used against non goid targets with limited effect.

Damn. Thanks guys. We'll have to wait and see if any of the Guardian SLFs have normal weapon loadouts, since I don't really fight goids that often.

i highly doubt that the new XG Hybrid fighters will get non Guardian loadouts.

each SLF has ONE weapon. you select the SLF based on which weapon you want to use.

Im aware.

but those weapons are Guardian Weapons, What i meant was that its unlikely that they will ever bring XG fighters with Standard Non hybrid weaponry.

yes. We can only hope that FD changes the rules over time regarding weapons only being effective vs goids OR humans.

They probably won't need it, Think of the Lance, unlimited Railgun ammo NPC fighter basically, perfect accuracy wompwomps. I can see that being the Holy Grail PVE item.

And then you also have the Shard cannon one, Shard Cannons are exceptional in PVP because most players have Reactive Surface Composites, so the thermal damage of the Shard Cannon can chew through hull fast.

Tell that to my shard cannons. They melt shields.

I hope not. Then it makes it just that much harder for pro-Thargoid groups to know who to KOS. Long live the Far God!
