Hey all,
I have two shredders and a pulsar at the moment, just upgrading one of the shredders the others are currently at level 1.
Are they worth bringing to full strength (for me, level 9 mk1)? How much damage do they do really?
I was intending putting them on a mender but now with the new workshop i'll need about a billion silver to get one - all suggestions for effective mounting gratefully received!

Shredders are worthless. Pulsars are decent if you have 3 or 4.

I run a lvl 7 on a plasma Galahad and it does pretty well. Damage per round is a bit better than a punisher I believe with a bit less dps from a limited mag capacity. (Could be wrong, will check later) I might throw 2 shredders on a Stalker later to see what type of damage they can do.
Just got a Pulsar. Ran a few games at lvl 1 and got a couple of lockdowns but the damage affect was unrecognizable running with a Avenger and Punisher T.

For a 1 Pulsar and 2 Shredder combo, look to any bot that has this weapon config. I ran these on my Mender for a while and it was great. I was surprise at how much damage they did up close. But, on a bot like the Mender, in the end, this was not good enough for me. I'm running my Pulsars on a Lance with Dragoon and this build works great (less great now that Tridents are a thing again) but still powerful. I'm playing around with Scourge/Shredder Galahad at the moment and so far, I don't hate it. It's working well as my last bot out on larger maps, when most RDB and DB bots are exhausted, and I can pick them off and make a run for beacons.
Just remember that despite what people are saying about damage, these statements are usually from that particular poster's point of view can opinions can defer. You will never 1-salvo kill anyone with these weapons, but you will take a decent chunk out of their HP if you catch them in the open and lock them down at the same time.

I was considering a Shredder Pulsar build but I'm currently leveling 2 Shredders and am so far underwhelmed by them.
I'm starting to think I should go with Spark Scourge even though I hate their targeting.
Anyone want to give me advice on this?

Of course Scourge and Spark are better weapons but at the cost of a horrible mechanism. You can't even empty the clip to reload without being locked on to a target.

But I recently leveled up some Scourges and was pleasantly surprised how effective they were. Almost worth dealing with that targeting. That lock on delay is deadly if you get ambushed |

One Pulsar + 3 Scourge on a Spectre does very well. My Shredders aren't leveled yet, as I keep hearing very mixed feedback on them, and they're so bloody expensive to upgrade to the point I can test them. When possible, I try to upgrade to actually use, not test.
