All right, need some advice. I’m sort of nickel and dime-ing Plarium nowadays. (Only weapon I’m considering spending $$$$ for is EMR8s for my Shadow. )
I’ve got the free GB10 and Vrpg14 we received some time ago. Are they worth it now after the M&WU? I was thinking of pairing the GB10 with another beam weapon. Vrpg might be a useful support weapon when squading with friends.
Thanks for the advice and input. Just looking ahead to future builds and thought I may gets some distance out of some free weapons and change things up. Especially since both those weapons got some buffs from the M&WU.
Thanks again.

Hmmm, I love the GB16 but never considered the lower EN versions. I suppose it could work well on Surge since you can get side and back shots after EMP. As for VRPG14, sorry, never used the VRPG series. I know maxed ones in FFA kick my butt all the time but only if it catches me unawares.

Thought the GB 10 might be interesting on a light mech with a thermal Lance 6. When maxed it could be a nice change on Stalker/Orion. Not sure about the Vrpgs. AI uses them effectively. Curse them. I think I’ve seen at least one real player with em, lol. |

GB12 is now becoming a sought after meta weapon for Surge although interestingly it is never on sale (a real sale at least) even when there is an associated Spree event. I'm a bit skeptical though about an EN10 version but I have little to base that on except the reduced energy rating.
I have vRPG16 but it is stuck at 4-Star and so far isn't really worth it. Meta players pan it but I was a bit heartened to see GangstaJabs give it some love in his latest vid. Not sure about the EN14 as I won't be bothering with my 2-Star version. But it does have a 5 shot magazine versus only 4 for the EN16. Given the long reload I don't know if that is a plus or a minus. Having to expose yourself for more shots to do slightly less damage or having an extra shot to compensate for misses. Since splash damage is part of using a vRPG, having an extra shot to calibrate might be better tbh.
I would search up some YT videos and see what the analysis of these are. I'm hesitant because they have less power, but they might be close enough to consider if you don't want to spend.

When it came out I liked the Vrpg14 in combination with a Missile Rack weapon. They just kind of worked well together. I've not been using it lately though as I have 32 EU bots with DLs as well as Ares and Bastion. Killshot is good with a Vrpg14 build iirc. I also have trouble fitting this weapon into mechs without going over the available EN.
About the GB10 I think a Stasis Beam weapon goes well with it. Slow or stop the red and finish him off with the GB.
