It is inferior the the Particle Rifle in almost every way.
I have the Typhoon at rank X, and wouldn't even think about using it on anything other than the Destroyer. That's a problem.
Just going to point out that the way the Particle Rifle reloads means it's a lot slower at downing big bosses as you have to constantly wait for it to recharge.
So it's hardly "every way".
I believe I've seen Ashen say he managed to kill an Atlas with the PPR using one clip on a GI specced for Duration on TC and Speed & Vision instead of Damage on Hunter Mode... don't underestimate it.
I don't. I like the Particle Rifle. But the idea that the Particle Rifle is better than the Typhoon in every possible way is ludicrous.
When you consider the fact that the Particle Rifle can destroy the highest HP unit in the game on a setup optimized primarily for utility with damage as a secondary concern, whereas the Typhoon probably could not (i'd need to go test it, but I sincerely doubt it) it's not so "ludicrous".
The Particle Rifle has only one of the same drawbacks as the Typhoon which is the warm up time. It's relatievely lightweight for it's DPS potential (1.4, same as Saber, Graal, GPS) unlike the Typhoon. It has no recoil, unlike the Typhoon and perfect accuracy which means your theoretical DPS is often a reality. With a Typhoon, you're constantly going to ammo crates because it burns through ammunition. Not a problem with the Particle Rifle, and if you're really good with it, you don't even have to suffer through a reload animation.
Yeah, the Typhoon is inferior.
