Shooting Bombards, even with a radiation mod takes longer than I like. The AoE mechanic on Ignis is fun, but the base damage is making me question it.Īn un-Forma'd Ignis struggles in lengthy Apollodorus of all things. Vulkar will always be a terrible gun even with mods. But it's also true that some guns are worse than others on top of just being wretchedly unenjoyable to use. It's fine if you like gun because it's fun. I asked for reasons, not what you felt about it. Any Forma you put into it will be worth the effort. The Ignis starts with a higher base damage than the Amprex (10 vs 7.5), has better ammo efficiency (10 ammo per sec rather than 20), better reload times by almost a whole second, a larger area of effect, and requires absolutely no aiming beyond 'point in the general direction of enemies'. What's more, I don't think the chain effect from the Amprex is capable of hitting as many enemies as the Ignis - definitely a factor on some maps where enemies tend to group up.

I'm no statistics man, but I can tell you that the Amprex requires more precision and eats ammo faster than an Ignis. They're both horrendously ammo inefficient, but one is just plain better at killing Ancients and has better team utility outside of just being an Infested killing machine (and is probably better at even that to boot). Increasingly, my reasoning and the simple facts of situation is leading to the conclusion that I should just build the Amprex and use that as my brain-dead AOE weapon of choice. So I'll just leave this post here and let you guys weigh in on it.Do not give up the Ignis is very strong you have to be patient. I t can't do infinite damage to an infinite number of enemies in a close cone, but I don't think I've ever been swarmed so badly that it justifies Ignis's horrendous base damage. And just do rub salt in that wound, it can just proc gas effects or whatever you like. What with red crits making it just more ammo efficient at killing heavy enemies and even after the damage fall off from Chain it's still doing more damage per bullet than the Ignis. It just seems like Amprex is better in every way now. I've done a lot of searching and the typical defense of Ignis is: Well it can do infinite AOE damage in a cone if there are infinite enemies in its range! So I'll just leave this post here and let you guys weigh in on it. And just to rub salt in that wound, it has way better status proc chance. The only difference is that outside this specific 'what-if' scenario, higher damage primaries are actually good at killing heavies (i.e.

Well sure, but you can put Shred on a bullet rifle and do an infinite amount of damage to enemies as long as they're grouped.

Well it can do infinite AOE damage in a cone if there are infinite enemies in its range! I've done a lot of searching and the typical defense of Ignis is: That said, it just seems like Amprex is just better in every way. And I do want the weapon to be able to last through decently long Infested survival. I want to six Forma a dedicated anti-Infested weapon because aiming at Infested with conventional bullet rifles is annoying. I have my Ignis potatoed, but am thinking of not Forma'ing it all the way. but am thinking of cutting my losses and giving up on it.
