DRG Season 2 Weapon FAQ
Preface
Greetings Miners!
This unofficial document is a collection of speculative values and educated guesses of interactions, discovered from testing or datamining, gathered by the community for the duration of the experimental branch. Some of this information might be outdated, and if you're reading this well after the season 2 patch hits, refer to the wiki for better sourced information.
Please DO NOT use this document to make snap judgements on the quality of the weapon options described. Not only could this information be wrong, but the exclusion of certain details in the game and patch notes is at least partially intentional by the devs - we too HIGHLY RECOMMEND you try the weapon options by playing the game BEFORE reading the FAQ. Consider this document spoilers and read at your own risk.
As of 4/28: this is a work in progress. Ping olgac#8127 on the DRG discord for any updates/fixes
