The laser does add an interesting dynamic where you can focus on leveling different skills and not suck at shooting,but it is insanely powerful.How much of it are in the game?
Important laser notes:
-Has to be turned on first.
-There are 5-6 lasers in the game, however you acquire them gradually over time, and ammo is limited, so at the start you only have one weapon with a laser on it that will run out of ammo if you spam it.
-It is not an adequate substitute to weapon skills, which increase accuracy, damage and reload speed for all weapons of that weapon category. Personally I see laser as something to use in the beginning of the game until you max the corresponding skill, or when your arms get severely damaged when you have master skill turning on the laser overrides the accuracy loss.
Assault Rifle
With the laser working the way it does,the assault rifle isn't as crucial really.With Shifter the only way to effectively use pistols was dumping points into the skill so the assualt rifle had to do the midrange work.Now the AR can be save for close-mid range dps so I can see it working much better than I did before.
By the way, the mod features a new automatic weapon that uses the same ammo as the assault rifle, so you can use that instead. It is smaller in the inventory but performace-wise is inferior to the Assault rifle. However, no burst so all ammo wastage is on you.
BTW I am playing exclusively on realistic,not a fan of limited saves or fixed save points.
Understandable, that's why I made it optional. Hardcore mode has had much testing before, so it needs no more.
