    Can someone please explain The House to me?

    So I know the special talent and etc. what I'm wondering is how do I know which half of the mag is doing the added damage? I see the ticker on my hud but is there a way to know which half is the extra? Sorry if im missing something obvious here but I just got it last night.

    If the little card thing is showing underneath your ammo/skill readiness/etc bar it is active

    Whichever card is White will be the half of the magazine that deals extra dmamge. Ex. White Card over black card and the first half has extra and vice versa.

    well sorta yes. But if the Black Card is First and the White Card is second then the Second half of the magazine would deal the extra damage. That may be what you meant but wanted to clarify.

    Quick question for you moe, do you pay attention to it regularly and do something like fire off a round or two and reload to get the top half being bonus damage? Personally I just treat it as a background thing I can't influence and if I'm getting bonus damage it's just that, a bonus.

    Well thats part of why I'm asking so that I can try to actually use it to my advantage. I think the 20 sec. only counts when you have the weapon equipped? but It seemed like using sentry last night if I popped a heavy to get my 3 marks and then switched to the house I could melt one with a clip and a half but I'm thinking if I reload and try to always keep that bonus it could be pretty awesome little tool.

    nah, like you i just use the gun knowing that half the mag is going to give a bonus. I figure its gotta help one way or another if i empty the whole mag. That being said, i can see where if you knew the first half had the bonus you could use it to your advantage but im not really into the Rogue thing unless forced so it doesnt make much difference for me against NPCs'.

    ten seconds than it flips. Switching weapons in combat will sometimes flip the "card"

    Talent is actually quite ...meh, ok so?

    It's no different from Responsive. Just flat 10% more damage/per mag.

    House is good because it has high firerate and good damage.
