Tip: do I need range mods on Odyseey handheld weapons?

[Alrik]

So i was curious about the actual range in Odysseys ground combat.
On foot weapons don't have range indicators, but you can use the "point at" emojy to place a range marker at buildings & terrain.

So while doing combat, after taking out the enemies do "point at" to check if your are indeed in effective range of your weapon.
I was surprised how low the effective range of the laser assault rifle is (70 meters), so thats for sure a weapon that will get the extended range mod.

EDDiscovery[github.com] shows under "Suites & Weapons" ranges for all the weapons I have.

- Manticore Intimidator, 7m

- Manticore Tormentor, 15m
- Karma P-15, 25m
- TK Zenith, 35m

- Karma C-44, 20m
- TK Eclipse, 25m

- Manticore Oppressor, 35m
- Karma AR-50, 50m
- TK Aphelion, 70m

- Manticore Executioner, 100m
- Karma L-6, 300m

There is no difference for higher classes and I have no weapon yet with range upgrade.

Odyssey material helper has also all stats for handheld weapons & space suits.

The range upgrade is also very easy to get, AFIAK it aviable at Domino Green.

The Intimidator and the Tormentor are the only weapons I'd consider modding for range. Everything else lacks the accuracy to benefit from being fired outside of their effective range anyway.

I TOTALLY hate the ironsight of the executioner.
How the heck am I supposed to do headshots with that crap?

Yeah, the gunsight in Odyssey are terrible.
There is a reason why real world red dot sights... use red or green for their dot and not grey dots like Frontier did it.
That is some of the thing making me questioning if the Odyssey dev team ever worked on a first person shooter game - or even played one.
