I've been looking at the space marine devastator weapons in the rouge trade for a long time, and so far from looking at the stats at least displayed neither of them seem to show any sign having an advantage over the default ones (the one exception is that the Eranimus (did i spell that right?) has less recoil (0.28 to 0.35)then the default one). Anyone using these have anything to say about them? do they have any meaningful improvement? Such as how the gilded bolter has reduced spread while moving, and what about the Apollo plasma gun as well? Its stats in the store show no sign of any improvement over the basic plasma gun.
You'll get a letter from the devs personally thanking you for spending money on the whipping boy faction, that's it I'm afraid.
Well, this game is certainly nailing the part of 40k tabletop culture where everybody is always convinced that they're underpowered.
The Eldar players were keening en masse about how bad they were like two weeks ago. Balance changes come fast for EC right now.
The main purpose of the stuff bought with RTC is cosmetic changes. So while it may have stats better or worse it's not really the goal to be superior.
The biggy about the RTC weapons is they come pre-modded and look fancier. They may not fit to how you like to normally mod your weapons, but they come a bit pre-armed and are a way to get ahold of other weapon types with a bit of extra flair onit.
They were bad two days ago. The nerf to all heavy weapons (except Plasma Cannon vs infantry) have more or less evened all the sides out at time of writing
Currently: *Founder's Bonus Weapons are pure reskins, and I theorize they will stay that way *Rogue Trader Store weapons are also pure reskins at hte moment, but the devs are working as fast as they can to change that. They will be slightly better than stock weapons, but can't install any mods
