So, if a player with AB has shotguns equipped primary, secondary AND the sawed-off shotgun as a sidearm, they get the benefit of the talents from all three?
Sort of makes sense, whether it is intended or not, or just an oversight.
I can't see it working with any other weapons, though, since the shotgun is the only weapon that has a sidearm variant.
They are running AR's and they are getting the talents from a sawed off shotgun. They also removed the sidearm from counting on AB.Originally Posted by M0J033 Go to original post
Ah, I see. Then that's not right at all.Originally Posted by gt2k Go to original post![]()
I think it is a PC bug because I couldn't get it to work on console.Originally Posted by Eckoman2k Go to original post
I am horrible with the names of the weapon talents so I will keep it generic.
You are geared with AR #1, AR #2, and Sidearm. We all know that AR #1 will have AR #2's talents due to Alpha Bridge and vice versa.
The Sidearm is the method of getting the additional talents.
There are a couple talents that last for 10-15 seconds after using a skill (easier to time) or after killing an enemy (harder to time). Edit: These timed talents need to be on the sidearm. (end edit)
So what you do is equip your Sidearm, use a skill, start the countdown on of the talents, switch to your AR #1.
SO you don't get full time 8 or 9 talents, you get the left over time of the talents from your sidearm and the full 6 talents of your AR's.
This is how players are getting >6 talents active when firing their primary weapon. Example: Equip a sidearm with talents like adept (+ crit chance when using a skill) or competent (+dmg when using a skill). With your sidearm out, pop pulse or booster shot or whatever and that activates the sidearm talent. After swapping to your primary weapon that talent is still ticking down it's timer so you get it, plus all the active talents from primary / secondary weapons.Originally Posted by Pinzarn Go to original post
There was a very short time where shotgun sidearm talents were applying to alpha bridge when using shotguns but that got patched in a hurry.
Ok that makes sense.Originally Posted by Pinzarn Go to original post
