    So, i have made it to the end of the game so far (sector x level 10 planets) and Ive made my end game weapons and armor and high as i can possibly make them (universalists set) and the impervium weapons. The weapons do about 2-4k dps depending on the weapon, with the 2 handed axe being the highest at 4000dmg per swing. Ive been wandering around on threat level 10 planets all day and cant seem to find anything that comes close to beating them. Even the legendaries i have looted arent better. Are there better weapons? Am i missing something?

    There are, you just need to continue looking/looting as you are currently

    Legendaries often have additional effects that increase damage. The reported DPS is only on the swing and will throw you off.

    I have a lvl 10 bonehammer that says it does 3323 damage, but it one shots things that would survive my 4000dmg impervium hammer.

    Right now the best weapons you can get are Threat Level 10 generated Bonehammers and legendary grenade launchers that shoot this type of ammo: [​IMG]
    Close seconds are Eyeswords and legendary rocket launchers with 3k+ listed damage-per-shot.

    Anything else that you find besides those are pretty much throwaway. Waterswords and Starcleaverswords aren't good, and Teslastaves are just unusable. Any other legendary gun you find isn't going to be able to compete with the bouncy cluster grenades.

    Found a Hammer wih Fire Effect on a lvl 9 Planet. It does 4600 Dmg per Hit. Most I have seen so far.
    But its incredible slow...

    I concur with the bone hammer thing, even a 2200 dps bonehammer is easily better than any of the Impervium weapons.

    I have seen grenade launchers that shoot a basic pipe-bomb thing, that shoot a circular shrapnel grenade that shoots bullets in 8 directions, that shoot a bouncy fireball, and ones that just explode whenever they hit a wall. Are there coords for the cluster bomb ammo?

    Eyeswords though are terrible.

    Yup. I haven't seen anything better than the 4444dmg impervium hammer. But I will not give up

    Same for me, Puddlinsky - regarding the hammer.

    Eyeswords aren't good, but they're not bad. T10 Eyeswords hit over 3k (assuming you hit with the clouds, which isn't hard unlike trying to hit with the bubbles on the watersword) making it better than the imperium broadswords.

    As for coordinates for cluster bomb launchers, there are quite a few old posts in the coords thread that lead to them. This is the first one I found (page 52 or so), so the rest are after that page if you really want to find them. Just search for posts with legendary grenade launcher, paying special attention to posts where people mention that the gun has low DPS but hits over 4k on a direct shot.

    Just a warning that the coordinates are from an older patch version, and that I myself actually got a "nailbomb" type ammo from this specific set of coords.

    Bonehammers indeed are the best weapons, due to giving many hits instead of just one. But they are also extremely destructive, and make a mess of your ship when you accidentally use them. So I prefer using two one-handed weapons. They one-hit nearly everything and also don't mess up your ship full of chests.

    Sure, they have 6666 DPS, but the range on them is terrible, and you can't hit stuff that's above or below you. Not very useful if you ask me.

    I use a similar tactic. I have a weapon that swings in an arc to hit birds and things above me, and use twin weapons when i can pin something in a corner to hammer on it. Then again, I carry multiple sets of gear for a variety of situations, some might find that inconvenient.

    This makes sense. Surely you use shortswords, not daggers though. I don't really see any reason to use a dagger ever.

    Daggers have potentially higher swing speed, meaning that with two of them you can completely lock down any NPC because it can't stop being hit. I use dual daggers sometimes, or a dagger and a shortsword or really just whatever's strongest at that point.

    I'm sick of all these melee weapons. I mean, I'm all for a nice 2hSword and all but I want a sexy rifle or pistol dammit. :T

    Guns in general are entirely too sparce in a game with such and advanced technological context. I'm sure they'll get to it but still, I'm rather ready to be shooting shit.

    With targeted blink tech can not complain about range :D Just teleport inside monsters swinging swords and they explode with pixels.

    End game isn't implemented yet. Anything past the alien jelly is just place holder. Just have fun

    Two shortswords always seemed fast enough for me, but I see your point.

    In endgame it's the opposite, you're drowning in guns. I've thrown away countless plasma rifles, rocket and grenade launchers, etc.
