Breer M1a

[Indigo Wyrd]

I see limited ones all the time, and as I understand, Unlimited ones also exist.
Is anyone crafting these?
Or is this just a throwback to the pre-money-vacuum days?

There's no unlimited blueprint for the unlimited M1a. Guns like that are often crafted from very rare limited blueprints.

Am I the only one that finds it odd to have the entry level L Blueprint being rare?

[Indigo Wyrd]

Rare, limited blueprint.. that would explain the absence of Unlimited Breer M1a's, but I do concur - it does seem a bit ridiculous to such low-level equipment so hard to come by - Much like the Omegaton A101 Amp - a very minor boost for something that really only benefits new player, and yet is collected and horded, seldom sold for any sane price, and hasn't been heard of as a loot drop in quite some time.

I sought after an OA101 for a while, but settled for an E13 I got for a much lower price. Yes, it gives me a mere +3 bonus with a 1 ammo burn on an SO - but it will last me through a few gun upgrades as I skill up before becoming obsolete - making it a better investment than an OA, as upgraded guns will be able to take advantage of the full power of the E13.

Is the E13 worth using on an SO? Yeah, just not all the time. It does give a boost to damage, and burns 1 extra ammo. So for things that would (unamped) take me 12 shots (24 rounds) to kill, I can bring down in 8 shots (16 rounds) - saving me some ammo. Of course, I generally make a habit of staying away from these ammo-eaters, as they're seldom economical to hunt. But it comes in handy for team hunts with shared loot, based on damage dealt, or for getting myself out of a sticky situation!

I looted an (L) bp for the unl gun a month or so ago. It only had 1 click on it. I failed, but got a bunch of residue. I know that s2k had snagged a bp some time ago, but I'm fairly sure the guns all got sold.

My understanding was that the guns weren't worth all that much because they are less eco than the (L) versions, and the (L) versins are so cheap.

Good luck in your search.

Thanks!

I have seen a couple ul M1a's turn up in auction - all for extremely high prices - multi-thousand % markups (greed).

I regularly see L versions for fairly standard prices, but there is such a lack of appeal to L items.

As for the economy of each:

Breer M1a:
Max. TT: 556.00 PED
Min. TT: 0.67 PED
Ammo: 3
Decay: 0.484 PEC
Total Uses: 114738
Cost: 3.48 PEC
Dmg/PEC: 4.02 HP

Breer M1a(L):
Max. TT: 22.30 PED
Min. TT: 0.67 PED
Ammo: 3
Decay: 0.426 PEC
Total Uses: 5078
Cost: 3.43 PEC
Dmg/PEC: 4.09 HP

The Difference
Max. TT: 533.7
Min. TT: Same
Ammo: Same
Decay: 0.058 PEC
Total Uses: 109660 (little more than 21 times)
Cost: 0.05
Dmg/PEC: 0.07 HP

TCO (at TT): 65.4 PD
Yes, it is slightly cheaper to buy 22 M1a(L)'s than a single M1a u/l, but the difference in economy between the two is so slight, it would take a good long while to make a difference. However, where I see the real pay-off coming is when the M1a is finally outgrown, it's going to have much more resell value than a burned out M1a(L) heading to TT (the "right" thing to do with dead (L) items).

[Rumsponge]

The resale value will probably be about what you paid for it, so you will basically get your money back. Of course, price could go up or down just like anything else in the game.

If I ever get another one of those BPs, I'll send you a PM.

Just to let you know indigo I saw two hof for them yesterday. So that must mean a bp exist or something. I am a crafting noob so I am unsure.

Just using some deductive reasoning.

The BP drops, but AFAIK, they have all been (L) BPs with a very limited number of clicks left. Otherwise, the market would be flooded with those guns. It's a low-level BP that uses cheap materials.
