So... I found another weapon that seems about as overpowered as the Mantis blades...
Fenrir. Power submachine gun. It's the first rifle that's felt powerful/fun enough to use successfully. It's a pyromaniac's dream. It has a burn bonus that seems to happen about 95% of the time. Just pepper the enemy with 4-5 shots, and they burst into flames screaming in terror. You can just stop shooting and laugh as they burn and die. It's very satisfying. I've had multiple situations where 4-5 enemies were all screaming and running in different directions. I found it in a mission helping a couple buddhist monks who had been forced to have cyber implants installed against their will(LOL). I've already upgraded it several times, and plan on continuing to do so. If you just pop off short bursts at a time and avoid full auto recoil, it's a beast...
There's a legendary coat in the northernmost part of the map. Seems like it scales with your level and it looks decent too. It's around the corner from a crime event. [Reply]
I bit the bullet and turned all RT off. The difference in reflections is STARK but the low FPS is just too much to take. Sacrifices had to be made in order to get smooth gameplay.
This game will look incredible on 4000 series cards. In the meantime, here are the best places to get more FPS at little to no cost in terms of the visuals:
Even without RT, this game is an absolute stunner. Goddamn! [Reply]
:-)... Spoilers because this is probably the most powerful machine gun in the game, and it's a bit of an "Experience"...
Spoiler!
There's a fucking AI-powered machine gun named Skippy that talks and sings to you. And if you make the right choices with the gun, it will convert to "Stone Cold Killer" mode, which makes every shot a headshot. Making it way overpowered...
