So either MA moved it to another mob, or they just dont drop atm hence my comment about rarity before...

Ok, thank you Optima. I expect that the BP itself is the most limiting thing at the moment -- that it's a rare drop and not an unlimited BP yet. Anyway, if i happen to see any robot amplifiers, i'll try not to tt them.

Hmmm thats wrong now that you say it... ffs im not sure which part it is i just know its insanely rare lol. What about "robot range finder" make more sence?... ah whatever ill ask buzz later today which one it was to be sure..

6 ammo burn.

I can't get rid of this terrible feeling that the Dante is going to have it's ammo burn upped in some future VU.

Yes it is the range finder, and they are extremely rare was hunting high lvl bots (no SEG tho, too mean) for a couple of days using ~750k ammo and no range finder, but alot of different crap tho.

Not all robots drops the same stuff... Maybe only SEGs drops them?

I've never looted one, and I've spent a LOT of time and peds hunting the Drones (up to 09), Troopers (up to 06) and Warriors (up to 06) NE of Twin.
I have also hunted some SEGs now and then, but only in teams, since I don't like dying too much

Ehrm... If a weapon/amp uses 2pec decay/6ammoburn or 6pec decay/2 ammoburn doesnt really matter on an unlimited item now does it?.. Same cost per shot... Provided MA doesnt change the dam/pec that is...
That being said id take high burn over high decay on an (L) item any day since it would last longer thus making markup/shot lower?...

LOL. Clearly I'm an idiot. Totally didn't take decay into account.

Of course this item is going to be rare. I see no reason why this amp should ever become common. Take a look at the list of guns which can handle this bad boy. It's a short, privileged list.

IMKII, 40MM, (the only pistol class that can handle it, btw), Fire Forges, 3 upper level Omegatons... In other words, only the best guns one can obtain. Will it work on Plasmas? I don't use 'em so I don't know. If so, throw in Marbers and Lichters. Um, that's it. No other gun should be using this hulk.

It's a beast! This thing has no business being created in any quantity whatsoever.

I want one.
