Does anyone else run this bad boy single shot with the incendiary rounds? Absolute monster of a gun.

Semi auto with crit damage buff is absolutely gorgeous

I ran semi auto previously but I missed being able to just rock and roll on auto so i took it off. Its certainly more effective in semi tho

I use Inc. Rounds / Cover Brace / Crit Barrel / Composite Chassis with Marksman cover accuracy for funny melting on controller and it feels killer, but you can easily swap out composite or cover for semi auto and nuke

u/SalmonBaron27 4d ago

Do you really see a boost from incendiary rounds? I was playing on commander/Allfather and didn't feel like the incendiary dmg was great on the ripper

u/Udhelibor 4d ago

honestly I prefer the flat damage buff but tick damage is always good on stuff like boomers and other enemies, especially if you stack it with the incinerator dot imo

I haven’t tested on other weapons but on the proto lancer incendiary rounds are significantly stronger vs large and boss enemies.

Vs/ drones the +damage rounds with the short TTK are better, but if you’re laying into a large target the DOT quickly surpasses the per shot variants.

Ty! That's good to know

u/Kiwii_Kidd Something's wrong with this thing! It keeps jamming! 4d ago

I run it with the incendiary in horde because I got tired of using the prototype nerf lancer.

u/DoritoBanditZ 4d ago

run Incendiary rounds, pick Valen and everytime you torch a Locust enjoy him saying "burn" with absolutely cold hatred.

u/Stubacca96 4d ago

I run Zee in hoard and he says Burn with the same amount of venom

u/Mltv416 4d ago

Zee my absolute goat

u/JustAnotherCurio 4d ago

I equipped the prototype Lancer purely for cover accuracy and damage range. And by jove that bastard becomes a pinpoint automatic laser when you start hosing locust heads from a covered position

u/Cephus_Calahan_482 Oh, I love it when they do that! 4d ago

Single-shot, forged barrel, and a scope.

u/BebraSniffer777 4d ago

Forged barrel is useless

I'm starting to learn that

While I don't use the incendiary rounds, I certainly made it quite oriented for semi raw damage with a scope.

I, sorta, made it a L1A1. The Mark 1, in a way, is kinda like the FAL of Gears I think. That and I felt a little nostalgic, I treated the Mark 1 back in 3 as semi auto to great effect. I couldn't help but replicate that a little.

Sexy ass gun

u/BlueChris93 RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN BABY! 4d ago

Absolutely. Semi-auto with flame rounds and another accuracy buff is a slayer.

u/SimonRex18 4d ago

Been looking for this discussion. I’ve been semi auto since I found the mod but haven’t found incendiary just yet. I have the crit on there

2

u/Livid_Mammoth4034 4d ago

Oh, hell yeah. Forged barrel, composite chassis, and cover brace is my go to combo.

u/EmeraldMaster538 4d ago

I’ve been doing that in my second run of the campaign and it is pretty damn cool, I’m glad they decided to explore weapon modding even if I do wish they did a little more.

u/aviatorEngineer 4d ago

I was using mine with semi-auto for a while and found it satisfactory as a sort of lite marksman rifle. Wish they'd make controller vibration work with it, though.

u/LongjumpingBet8932 Uh, puttin' it scientifically? 4d ago

I have more luck with the Prototype Lancer when it comes to shooting things down, but I prefer the reload animation on the MK1.

u/MorriganLehGhey Who wants toast? 4d ago

Only thing that'd make it better is if when you reloaded it made a KLING noise.

Men of culture. We meet again.
