How to make the Constitution a viable weapon!

[黒人]

A simple steb by step guide on how to make the constitution compete with all the other primary weapon choices. The results will shock you!

• Increase armor penetration from 3 to 4
  
• Increase damage from 180 to 200
  
• Increase durable damage from 50 to 70
  
• Make it actually increase your melee damage (for some reason it does not)
  
• Make it actually increase the range of your melee attack (for some reason it does not)
  
• Add a clip that functions exactly like the Senator's speedloader
  
• (Edit:) Add a M1 Garand --PING-- sound effect

Congratulations. You now have a weapon that is actually viable and fun to use! And it won't sit on your shelf collecting dust. All it needed was to borrow the Senator's cartridge.

It does at least have the neat quirk (bug?) of having itse armor pen 3 apply to it's melee.

I think the melee attack has at least an armor penetration of 4 because last time I checked I could damage a charger's leg.

I'm unsure but I'd like to believe so.

If you want to make it viable right now, the squad has to stick together and have one machine gunner. For the WW1 machine gunner experience, take the Adjudicator

I've heard from plenty of people that it does increase melee damage though and that did seem to conform with my own testing.

Others have reported that it doesn't actually increase melee damage.

My stance on that is undecided. Although, I've been shredding everything with it by having an armor with peak physique passive equipped.

easy test would be trooper bots. from what I understand peak physique against one of them should be a 2 hit kill so if the constitution with peak physique drops them in 1 it must work.

edit: to be clear peak physique without the constitution should be a 2 hit kill

It's time for science!

Those people took one look at it and never used it.

You can kill a hive guard in 4 melee hits, through his faceeshield.

I did kill some of the troopers bots with one hit without Peak physique by hitting the leg or directly the chest, sometime it need 2 at 3 hits weirdly

Thats just the hitbox being janky [didnt want to make new post since was already editing this one]

It is worst it to use Peak physique if I want to charge in close combat ? I kinda want to shot the arm of a Devastator and try to finish it in melee

YES.

And also, if I might add, if people are worried this is overpowered, the minimum for this rifle could be just the 200 damage and stripper clips because it would still be viable even then if people were concerned about realism but this is the perfect.

Honestly good positive feedback, I hope the steam forums community doesn't go nuts over this! Wait...

Well, in that case that's great! If it actually increases melee damage and penetration then there's no need for a fix.

If people find this overpowered then they also find the Senator overpowered because those are the exact same statlines.

Just realized that the constitution needs the iconic M1 Garand --PING-- sound effect

Melee with constitution is improved.
It goes from 50dmg AP1 to 110(base)/50(durable) AP3. Yes, medium pen melee. It gets boosted even further with the peak physique passive to 165/82.5 durable. It has 6 meters of lunge

Oh ! Thanks for the information !
