    Chatterbox 500 upgrade dropped damage!

    I had a 490 chatterbox with over 11k damage. I used the 500 upgrade blueprint and the damage dropped to 9.7k! Makes no sense. Anyone else have this happen?

    it's normal, you can see the damage range on the blueprint

    How can it make no sense?

    I’m sure your blueprint specifically states the margins/range of the possible damage roll does it not?

    Did you not read prior to upgrading?

    It’s always the fine print that gets you in the end........

    You’ll have to do the upgrade again to get another damage roll.

    I honestly can't remember what my chatterbox was at 490..

    I really didn't pay much attention to it's stats other than the talents..I use it for it's talents because they make my other weapons scream like a pissed off Apache warrior..

    Thanks for the heads up on this issue! It got me thinking my Chatterbox at 14K, 490 is a lot better that a 500 at ? Damage.

    I believe the blueprints just use your existing exotic as a component and then create a completely new one. So it can have totally different stats. The reason to upgrade is to up your GS, which may be required for the raid, or reroll damage.

    Thanks, I didn't even realize it was a re-roll for the exotic upgrades. Seeing as the perks obviously are not re-rolled, I thought it just brought the weapon up to max level, and in turn possibly raised the damage accordingly. Missed that there was a new damage range.

    Make sure you did not change up specialist or gear and that its not normalized gear stats
