Is it worth it? It costs more to equip but the stats are the same as the regular heavy bolter. Are there some hidden perks to it? I'm inclined to think there must be, but maybe it's an oversight and will be updated later to have some superior stats?

I'm sure there are some knowledgeable battle brothers out there who know the answers, please share this important information!

*Master Crafted* misspell in the title, unfortunately the title cannot be edited.

Currently 99.9% of all Master Crafted weapons have zero stat differences (hence equipping them is wasting 100 LP).

One of the few that has a stat difference is the Master Crafted Bolter for LSM, it has a whopping 0,04 less in horizontal recoil/spread (which is not noticeable at all), so that's not worth using either, sadly.

Thanks for info. I think they should all have very small improvements over their regular counterparts but the same points value to equip.

Your Welcome Brother!

Yeah hopefully this is just "placeholder" stuff that's left over since the launch got so rushed, they should indeed have slightly better stats lore-wise as well as gameplay-wise.

LP costs overall is an issue tbh, could do with an Increase in Loadout LP across the board :/

Spread and recoil are different things. That so called master crafted boltgun just gives recoil improvements of 0.02... haha reduction in spread is what you want. recoil is so so small that you can't notice it at the moment anyway on any weapon.
