Sniper rifle vs Blast canon

hey everyone! im kinda new to the game, I'm using a sniper rifle for now on my shooter. Is blast canon worth switching with a sniper? On what other ships can I use the blast canon on?

 

No don't use anything it's a scam. Its like game of thrones your favourite character always dies first.

 

You can use blast canon on every ship.

But I advice you to either use sniper canon, or blast canon, don't use them both. If you take a look at Bhurts talents you'll understand why. (Bhrt the captain).

I have never used it myself, but it seems that blast canon together with flare gun or fire bomb is incredibly powerful. Sniper also gets really powerful at high lvl as well. So just use the weapon you like best, and stick with it untill the end. (On a shooter and fixer I would advice sniper tough, on every other ship, it's your own preference.

 

Thanx for the detailed info. Really helped a lot. Cheers.

Thanx for the detailed information. That was really helpful. Cheers.

 

How are you so lucky when it comes to be best items in the game? or did you buy some pearls.

I'd go with blast cannon any day over sniper cannon. But that's just me.

 

Yeah I bought one 10x rare chest pack. Thnx for your opinion. Cheers.

 

I currently run a blast/firebomb combo and it is great. Honestly, it just depends on your play style. Sniper is great paired with long range mortars and torps.

 

can anyone please suggest a way to use sniper and blast canon together, i have many duplicates for both weapons, so i cant really give up on one. But then the Bhurt perks are an issue if i use em together. What If i give the damage perks to blast and crit chance to sniper.. will that be effective in battle?

 

Honestly you can use two and there’s really not that many bhurt trainings that are detrimental to the success of either weapon. I think you’d only end up loosing like 10% base damage to each weapon if you pick the right skills. Base damage isn’t even what sniper is about anyway. Also yes. Only use sniper crit perks on sniper. And for blast you can go normal damage or fire damage perks. But then you gotta run a fire weapon too. Which you do! So the sky’s the limit.

 

I remember someone on here saying: “We’d still use sniper, even if it only did half the damage”, and I believe that. The advantage of the sniper is you can start doing damage early, and from a relatively safe distance. Later in the game you can stratigically pick off low HP ships that would otherwise be hanging around lobbing mortars and torpedoes.

It’s possible to max out the crit talents on the sniper without losing much on the Blast Cannon. I think they only conflict once. If you max out power to BC everywhere else then you lose about 20% on the sniper an a little bit of range.

On the plus side, there are lots of talents on Bhurts tree that buff both guns, and they both benafit from the burning target talents, so it might be good to run a fire bomb along with them to get the most out of that.
