What guns are good against Graviton shields? - ian - 01-09-2009

well you see i think i found out why people pick Graviton: because there is a severe lack of weapons that are best against it except projectiles such as missiles, big guns such as the mini razor and BH and Xeno weaponry which not alot of people can get a hold of

so does anyone know any other weaponry that is good against graviton and is fairly available to anyone?

bretonian ultra sunrails ( or the other type of lvl9 weapons bretonia has - the white sperm like ones ) - they are good against graviton and do quite a fair amount of damage... of course you need to be bretonian for them.... .

Any particle gun. Outcasts have a whole line of particle guns, so do the Bretonians and the Bounty Hunters as you said.

Kraken II's are immense weapons if you can get your hands on them.

Plasma and particle weapons work best on graviton. So we have 3 plasma, all of them are bad because of low projectile speed - Rheinland Firekiss, Hogosha Drake and Liberty Magma Hammer. But if their projectile speed gets up in next version (to 600) then why not try. If not, then do not bother.

Particle - Suntigers and Black Widows (xeno), Krakens (Outcast), Ultra Sunrail (Bretonia), Buckshot (b.hunters). Sunrail is ok, all others are beyond awesome.

+SOLARIS codename is particle aswell.

aha! thanks for the replies...and it definantly seems like there isnt that many particle guns out there at all especially compared to the amount of guns against molecular and positron shields

another question then: would IMG be able to get those Ultra Sunrails then? since IMG cannot get decent anti-graviton guns from anyone else

Nope, IMG is the wrong side of neutral (towards hostile) with Bretonia, outright hostile to the Outcasts, and neutral to Xenos and BH (ergo: have no business mounting their guns).

Though graviton are best against shield busters, Debs are still pretty good against graviton, compared to other guns.

Just stay away from lasers/photon guns and you should be fine (that covers most of the high-refire range).

Also, SOLARIS is a codename, ergo it doesn't have a weapon type. It does the same damage to all shields.

ahh ok just making sure heh

i know about not being able to get Outcast, Xeno and Bounty Hunter weaponry (hence why i said except them)

i'll try with some Debbies then thanks:)

any ideas why there is a lack of anti-graviton weapons?

Its not that there's a lack of them, its just that one kind is useless and the other is so good not many people have them.

From memory, the weapon types are...
  • Laser
  • Photon
  • Pulse
  • Particle
  • Plasma
  • Tachyon
  • Neutron
Three are weak against graviton, two are weak against the other shields. It just so happens that one of the three weak against the graviton is what shield busters are classified as, which makes them best. Add that to the fact that only two are good against it, and one is next to useless (plasma), and you got a recipe for graviton shield spam.

Positron is weak against pulse, so of course no one uses it.

Molecular is the middleman, good against plasma and particle if I recall correctly, and neutral to pulse.

This is all from memory, so there may be an error or two.

Go take a look.

Perhaps i do get something wrong but in my eyes any non laser or photon weapon is an anti graviton shield weapon ergo any neutron, tachyon, particle and plasma weaps.
