P&O is a x3 Impact by 8%
lfairban Aug 31, 2014 @ 10:41am 
Did you omit the Pick-and-ohm Mod from the Mod and Effects table?
lfairban Aug 2, 2014 @ 7:55pm 
Personally, I think the lack of documentation is a major failing of this game. I couldn't find anything that would even explain the HUD. It took me a while to realize the XP bar wasn't the rage mode charge. A couple thing still have me in the dark.

I too use for myself :rbiggrin: It's hard to find the "perfect weapon" without a guide!
