    And if you stack Memento and Capacitor, you'll end up with a VERY strong shield without giving up very much in terms of damage output.

    The Capacitor has high built-in CHC and very good accuracy. So much so that I don't find the smaller mag to be an issue at all.
    I see. By using Skill Tier, rather than Armor for the shield, one loses straight armor but retains shield strength and gains an increase to weapon damage. Interesting. I like it. Thank you for the tip!

    It also makes the Artificer stronger.

    The only reason, imho, to use Armor cores for a shield is if you want to share BA. Maybe a Belstone piece for the aRegen, Memento, or Sawyer's [shrug explosions, boost damage when parked].

    Oh, wow. That video was very educational. I'd not realized that weapon handling at 20% or so made such a huge difference. This is something I'm going to have a serious look at. Thanks!

    I agree with you and I think it doesnt get better in the end game. I dislike AK and prety much in any game where they use it. Stability, high recoil, never liked.

    Correct! You're not creating a tank, but simply making your DPS build a little harder to kill. Smart use of a shield will let you stay out of cover longer to get off more shots than an "All Red" build with a Tier 0 shield, even if the "All Red" build does more damage.

    Basically it's just a way to customize your preferred playstyle a little bit more. Here's how I would do it:

    Technician
    Memento
    2 more armor pieces with yellow.
    3 more armor pieces with red.

    You end up with a Tier 5 shield and the same base weapon 90% weapon damage as an "All Red" build. Criticial hit damage and chance might be a bit less depending on the rolls on your gear, but you can come pretty close. The way this works is because of the Capacitor's unique weapon talent.

    You're getting 4 skill tier cores from Technician(1), Memento(1), and 2 pieces of your gear.
    You're getting 4 weapon damage cores from Memento(1) and 3 pieces of gear.

    Which means Capacitor is getting 30% weapon damage from skill tier cores, and 60% weapon damage from red cores. It's the same base 90% weapon damage as a regular weapon using 6 red cores!

    Police M4....it's like a laser = more hits = more dps.

    Good all rounder.

    TBH though pretty much most weapons are balanced, just play with what feels the best with your playstyle.

    It depends. Capacitor only if you are a skill build.

    Even then you may want another AR with [Perfect] In Sync instead. Otherwise any other AR is better if your not a skill build.
