Any real difference between the Master Crafted stuff and the regular version? I have a Master Crafted Chainsword but there's no indication it's any better than the regular one, but it costs 100 LP more.
I have a master crafted storm bolter, the only stat difference is a tiny amount on recoil. You don't even notice it to be honest.
Generally Master Crafted firearms have very slightly reduced recoil (even for weapons that ignore recoil), while Master Crafted melee weapons currently have no benefits. Theoretically that should change. Some day.
Master Crafted melee weapons have higher durability - the ability to clang more than your opponent. I confirmed this with Master Crafted Power sword vs any other normal power sword - win 90% of straight up 1v1 melee fights, other 10% are Eldar ;P Edit : If you have received it, try out the Master Crafted Plasma Rifle, I've killed more heretics than any other tactical loadout I've tried, aim for the head - and they dead (not one hit kill, but still way stronger and more accurate than a bolter). Should also mention I was firing single, not charged shots (aiming and spamming left click).
Can we talk about the visuals though? I mean, mine are all blessed with chaos but i have a MC bolter and MC bolt pistol, but the bolter turns red, gets an 8 pointed star and looks pretty cool while the MC pistol is super plain and lamer than my gold non MC pistol. Wondering which are good visuals and which are duds, because i just like to look pretty.
The stats are identical to base items, but i've noticed master crafted weapons seem to out-perform the standard ones slightly. For example, my master crafted bolter seems to have a tighter aiming reticle, despite no stat variation. Not sure if this is intentional, i'm just imagining things, or its a weapon related bug.
