The PVG 90 exp has been nerfed to doing a lot less damage. It takes a direct hit in the tanks to destroy a runner or seeker now.

Glad i still use the gold ..

still has the problem with being nerfed but at least i can augment it ..

*long range aug has a nasty take away -loses damage if distance is closed ..

no telling what that distance is ..

Exp.PVG90 still have more damage overall each shot, but have 3/4 fire rate of regular PVG90. It seem it's more similar to Silver Unstoppable augment, but I haven't compared them directly.

PVG90 with Silver Scorch augment can have similar or high damage each shot than Exp.PVG90 if directly hit the component.

I would say it depends on the weapon and your needs. Exp.Kvm 59 still too good because of fixed shock damage every hit and Exp.Pump Shotgun with Med Ammo can easily heal player to full.

I was thinking it must have been. I was blasting away at tanks and harvesters and using up craploads of ammo and not seeming to achieve much. Previously they would have been dead in relatively few shots.

I noticed that with the EXP PVG90 that I now have to use AP and FMJ rounds to have the desired effect. Before the weapon augmentation update, FMJ was all I needed to carry.

I can still take down the big machines quickly if I use the appropriate ammo on the relevant parts. I'll have to play around with a 5 crown PVG with Titan Topper augmentation to see if it's a noticable difference to me.

I have that perk on a 5C PM71 and a 5C A1-76 and AP vs FMJ definitely makes a difference.

Titan Topper is key .. along with Hit & Run ..
