radiator vs cooler?

[Greywolf]

Which one do you recommend?

[Ryuu]

Depends for what purpose and weapon

[Greywolf]

Shooting people and with a gun

generally machine guns but would it really make that much difference if it were shotguns or autocannons?

[xCrossFaith]

Machine guns and autocannons = Coolers

Equalizers and shotguns = Radiators

With grenade and rocket launchers... I have not tested that yet, so I don't know :3

[Renjimaru]

Coolers are good for anything that needs to refresh quickly (cooldown) (Cannons/drones mainly)
Radiators are good at anything that can sustain fire for awhile before needing cooldown.(Will increase the amount of fire time before needing a break/recharge)

Honestly i'd probably go radiators for machine guns. Specially if you plan to go for equalizer and such.

[Ryuu]

Coolers don't work for cannons and drones Only some engines increase their cooldown/reload.

I prefer 2 purple coolers(it seems game has 300% cooling rate cap) even for shotguns, it gives almost constant fire.

Radiators are mostly good for miniguns especially cuz of equalizer perk, and i dislike them for that - too easy to lose line of fire and too vulnerable when you get overheated or spin up barrels.

Radiator might also be good for grenade launcher.

Ehhhhh are you 100% on that? Because i could swear my weapon coolers help cannon recharge.
Feels sooooo much faster since i went from 30% to 90% cooler.

Try comparing no cooler vs 2 x 150% = 300%. Likely placebo effect for you.

Yeah i'll defintely test it now, But worst case, i guess that frees up another power slot lol x.x

Without radiator underneath cooler it would die too

Use both, have diferent function. Radiators make the heating rate slower, but makes cooling (refresh) slower, as stated on the description of the item, when u have both, the cooler makes the refresh rate faster, stated 100%. I use the combination of Improved radiator (60% heat reduction rate) and Weapon Cooler (100% refresh) with 4 Chord Machine Guns, great gameplay, rarely have to stop shooting, will later improve to 3 Vectors, to have more damage rating. Maybe stack another cooler when I have cabin with more power slots.

With any weapon except equalizers i would first go 2 coolers (maybe 1 purple would be enought) and after that radiators

With equalizers the other way
