If thats not changed than this pistol is quite useless for lowbies and high level characters already have better options ...

Not intended to be a real weapon, just like all the other Freedom Arms 3927's, it's just for buffing.

I have a feeling it's intended to be a replacement treatment gun (the Quartz thing) but that you can dual with another weapon.

Can't ever imagine that this is intentional. Probably should be 42, so leave out the 5.

Isn't that the +10 str/sta gun with +6 treatment?

I noticed the 542 MR also, but I assumed it was in order to prevent lowbies from dual wielding it as a buff gun. Could be intended for fr00bs who can't use the polychromatic pillows.

It's merely guess work though.

High level characters can get better buffs with either 2x str/sta pistols or even 1 str/sta and 1 treatment pistol.
The only logical thing in those pistols would be to use them on low level twinks but then they would have to be dual wielded which with 542 multi range is impossible...

As I mentioned above, you can use polychromatic pillows for the same stat increase and a multi melee of 10 at low level.

If you are a low level then treatment is not an issue and if you are mid to high level then there are better buff guns out there as you mention yourself.

As far as I can tell the guns are useless to anyone with AI+LE, and people trying to sell them for 250m+ a piece is ridiculous. The only use I see for them is for fr00bs who can't use the polychromatic pillows.

Why wouldn't froobs be able to use the pillows all of a sudden ? They never had any AI req.

I never played as a fr00b, so I just assumed it had an AI requirement, since the upgrade is from APF.

I honestly can't think of a single purpose for the freedom arms chameleon ql 1 then...

Edit: Not chapmans...

Agreed, look like another perfect example of incompetence of present FC employees ...

lol chill out Awi.

It's simply an alternative. It doesn't (nor does it need to) replace anything, and it doesn't exactly give us anything we didn't already have. Just an alternative.
