Legendary Railgun

NOOOOOOOOO!!

After about $300 and months of waiting I finally got a legendary weapon. I know many of you love the railgun but as an Enforcer (Who even at Mrk 7 only has 3 weapon slots with 3 points) It was probably the last thing I wanted.
Sigh...

Well I'm stuck with it and might as well try and learn how to use it... So my question to you more experienced Railgun users is should I go for Dmg perks or Cooldown perks??

 

As you are using enforcer, go for cool down perk....It already does a lot of damage when used perfectly.... Otherwise railgun is of no use....Use it perfectly and u are all good.

 

Does anyone know what the rare and Epic cooldown perks equal? Here is what I have so far...

Railgun Damage UC 3%
Rare 5%
Epic 8%
Railgun Cooldown UC -2.50%
Rare -5%
Epic - ??

 

I see alot of players using poor setups to run whichever legendary they picked up. I suppose lowering the CD might be a good idea of a low # of weapons ship, for a shooter I'd go for % damage.

 

I agree... I don't want to be that guy LOL

it appears there is only an uncommon rail gun cool down perk available if this spreadsheet is complete

 

I have that as well... I just thought no ones had seen it yet...Surly there is more!

 

Yes there is guys.I had a rare railgun CD perk yesterday in my shop.It was -5% CD.

 

Must have been rare then yes?
Thanks

 

Yeah it's a rare

 

Oh I just saw you're looking for a cool down... I'll let you know if I see one!

 

Yes sir it was a rare cooldown perk.I didn't take a screenshot because I thought people would have seen it and it was nothing special lol.

 

@Clintastic finally lol only 3% tho.In thought I had seen it as 5%

 

Anyone saying cooldown is just wrong. Cooldown of this weapon will ALWAYS be high. And the damage perks straight up out-scale the cooldown anyway.
If you equip a cooldown and damage perk of the same rarity, you'll see that you get a higher dps (damage per second) than you do if you use the cooldown perk. You're also only ever going to be able to fire it off a couple of times, so when it does hit, you want it to hit HUGE.

I use RG as my main weapon, and used to have all cooldown perks on it, since changing to all damage perks I am finding it a LOT better.

 

That's dedication!

 

Haha lol.Yea I was searching for it from the day I read this thread XD

 

I wouldn't use railgun as a mk5+ enforcer even if it is legendary. 2 weapons would give out better dps with more accuracy

 

I'm going against the herd here and saying cool down since it's your only other weapon, even assuming your 1 slot is a quick cool down you're going to be waiting on it alot. 3% cool down isn't much though

 

I am going to go against everyone and say don't use it!! As an enforcer you need 3 weapons, plenty out there that will easily fill the damage gap to the railgun.

If you ever change up ship and go for speeder or defender or shooter then I would suggest damage perks. Cooldown reduction will be good enough from Dr. Buzzkill
