...that is all.

[FuriousFelicia]

That's two

[TheShadyEngineer]

They're fun to use on an Arc pistol, Crusader or any OHK sniper rifle but still, I'd trade a crate of phasics for a dozen warp rounds any time.

Ummm, Arc Pistol? Interesting choice... but far from optimal.

I use it on an Arc Pistol with my AA, it has enough punch to kill all mooks caught in a stasis bubble with one headshot and is pretty useful at stripping boss shields so I can easily finish them off with a warp+throw BE.

It's just a phase you are going through.

[PresidentVorchaMasterBaits]

phasic rounds are alright. i prefer disruptor rounds though.

I use drill and she 1hs all mooks inclusive phantoms.

Yeah.  Arc Pistol does 900000000000 headshot damage fully charged.

[Deerber]

Phasic ammo rulez.

Shielded phantoms? Hard to believe.

[capn233]

Probably with some weapon damage bonus.

 

FWIW, weapon calculator shows 4 charged shots (which really means 1 fully charged shot, plus 1/3 of another one) to headshot a Gold Phantom w/ Arc Pistol X + Cranial V and 0 in Asari passive with either Drill or Phasic.  Drill 3 may doublehit the bubble though.

 

What specific configuration are you talking about?

[Deerber]

Shielded phantoms? Hard to believe.

 

Actually, it's very easy to believe. Since a charged arc pistol fires 3 shots each of which does 3X the normal damage, combining with headshot bonus it means that, without any damage bonus, you're doing 22.5X the base damage, while at the same time almost ignoring the shieldgate because you fire 3 shots instead of one.

 

 

... Talking of overbuffed.

 

So yeah, phasic are a very very weak choice of ammo for an arc pistol.

[TheNightSlasher]

I love me some warp ammo...OnlyUseMeAdepts and OnlyFightMeCollectors

 

Also, as others have pointed out, arc pistol is better off with AP or drill ammo. Phasic ammo is not optimal.

I figured what I was doing wrong- I wasn't using the cranial trauma mod on my AP (had the heavy barrel and piercing mod on it). Without it, after shooting a phantom in the face she'd drop out of stasis with 2-3 bars of health remaining and that's why I used phasics.

 

So from what I figured you guys set up your Arcs with cranial/pierce mods?

HVB with EM. Use AP or Drill for wallhack.

Or HVB with Piercing. Arc Pistol is already powerful enough that it will one shot everything with headshot. Using cranial is kinda overkill IMO.

I am not an Arc Pistol zealot like many on here... and many times on an Overload character where I can use Heavy Barrel for more boss damage.

 

Without a specific example of how much passive weapon damage or amps, then it is hard to say.  In the above example I used Cranial because it was best case damage.  The calc shows "4 shots" with HVB though.  The main point was that since fully charged you fire 3 projectiles, Phasic rounds doesn't help as much as with something like the Widow or Javelin where you only have one shot doing all the damage.

 

With Drill though, hypothetically you could cheese Phantoms just due to the Bubble Oddities, which incidentally is another strike against Phasic.

Nope. Heavy barrel and extended clip. AP or Drill.

[didacuscarr]

FYI this 1hs gold phantoms for me.

0 passive bonuses, it's an AA after all  . Also many thanks for bringing up that bubble thread, I had no idea.

QFI SaboJavelin with Phasics is awesome

I'm not a fan of the arc pistol, but if I were to use it I'd definitely go cranial trauma mod + extended mag + drill ammo. Or substitute the cranial trauma mod with a heavy barrel, if you can still OHK stuff (not sure).
