Give xenophage a massive ammo buff
With other weapons existing in the meta with not only substantially better ammo economy but damage as well like grand overture and queen breaker xeno sitting at it’s extremely low reserves really hurts it, let’s also give it increased AOE about the size of rockets and a 20-30% damage bonus to make up for it not having any dps mechanic like grand overtures alt fire or queen breakers 3 round burst

It's great, but it could use a catalyst. Maybe increase rate of fire on non-lethal hits like Merciless, dumping a full mag in less time. Or rewind rounds could be handy.

Definitely a top heavy weapon already. Good catalyst would be field prep or air trigger though. It doesn’t need an AoE increase… at all…

1 ReplyI would love to see unstoppable put on it. Catty to boost its reserves would be nice too, because I'm pretty sure the last time a catalyst added reserves to a weapon was Gjallerhorn's catalyst for the 30th anniversary event. Before that was the Duality shotgun from the Season of the Hunt, and before that was Eriana's Vow from Season of the Undying. Not every weapon catalyst needs to be an additional perk or new ability. Wouldn't mind some good old fashioned stat boost catalysts every now and then.

Actium war rig was a great combo for this gun due to the low ammo count - you could get pretty close to firing 100% of the ammo without reloading. Definitely agree it’s been underperforming for long time. Would love for an excuse to use it again

Given it's a heavy gl lmg, it's ammo is decent, but I would like to see unstoppable and solar verbs added. Maybe rapid hits give radiance and kills spread scorch, plus unstoppable.
