Ultimate weapon loot is not ultimate at all...

[Snowmech]

So i got my hands on a skeleton key. Descended into the location and came across a nice little room with an "Ultimate" ranged weapon in it. The thing is though it was green, all green. It is crap tier at best. This is really disparaging. I would really like to know the justification behind this, something labeled as Ultimate should be impressive in some way, not worth less than the sludge scraped off my boot.

Ultimates are named poorly, they are unique weapons with unique parts.

Unfortunately, uniques are tied to RNG too and so are their effects.

I thought ultimates just had special mods.

jus dismantle them and see if anything is good.

[Snowmech]

I did dismantle.. and every piece was garbage.

Some of the ultimate weapons are VERY strong.

Same problem with the "Ultimate Ranged Weapon" in the Sqvip-Holeujp, it's a green rarity 20..

[Dan_The_Noob]

keep in mind you can upgrade the weapon base at weapon benches, also not every weapon is good for everyone.

You can upgrade them to increase they're rarity, just like all other items. The ones you got are green/uncommon rarity (20) at quality and material level 1 instead of abnormal (0) or common (10). Upgrading the quality and material at a bench increases the rarity.

Some are some aren't its kinda RNG.. I've had weird green items pop from ultimate yellow boxes that do ultimate like damage..

Its a bit weird.

A four star ultimate and 7 star ultimate are completely different.

At least for me, I'm saying there's an item on the check list for the area that literally says "Ultimate" and there's a weapon in one of those visible displays that when you take it checks off the box but the weapon is not "Ultimate" tier, it's just green. Plus if it was Ultimate you couldn't upgrade it anymore.

I find this weapon really good! Especially with Dead Eye perks 😈

Some of the "Ultimate" weapons I have found later in the game actually do merit the title.
