Does weapon QL mean anything?
I have a question. I play a fixer and i use SMG (duh!). Normally i was getting my guns through the missions. I found one that i liked (Kerans Automatic Grinner) and i just keep getting higher QL of it. Yesterday i found one as a loot on a dead body (SW mines, mobs lvl 40). The gun i had been using was QL 35 and i found QL 44. Cool! - i thought... Immediately got it on (didnt need super buffs) and... it did as much as 3 times less damage that his QL 35 little brother. My first reaction - wtf? I had no penalty, nothing and yet i was doing roughly 3 time less damage. I switched guns several times and got the same result: QL 35 that i got as a mission reward was more powerful that QL 44 from dead body. 3 times!!! QL 35 did around 200 max burst and QL 44 - only 68 (several times) :confused:
The question is: is QL really means anything for a weapon or...?
Happened with a SOL Fire Executioner
I found a higher ql SOL in a mission. I was able to equip it self-buffed. When I did, I was doing FAR less damage so I put the old sword back on and my damage output went back to normal.
I didn't try the zone in and out thing. I just sold the thing. I have been advised that the weapon was likely bugged and that I could petition and get it replaced. It was not THAT much better than what I had, so I didn't bother since it'd be 2 hrs or more to get a reply.
