Whats wrong with the guns!?

I finally found a pirate/Avian Airship on a Beta Sector planet. I found a merchant selling a bunch of guns on this ship (I have never seen a usable gun in the game yet!) and I checked out the stats. This is where I was really surprised- the best gun I found only did 11 damage per shot and cost 21 energy for each shot! (I only have 10 energy total) Most the other guns did 3-9 damage per shot at the cost of 10+ energy per shot. Is this normal or am I having a glitch? Help would be appreciated.

 

Guns don't really do squat until you get to delta/x sector. It's because of the games current state of balance, it's a bit wonky and needs to be fine tuned.

 

Thanks a bunch! I guess I'll stick with double swords

 

I don't see how you only have 10 energy, you have 100 with no armor on, and each leg armor I think give an increase to it.

 

You'd have to actually use the guns to get a feel for them, but yeah. DotBeta basically nailed it. At the moment, you'll find significantly more crappy guns as opposed to good guns due to balancing.

Be sure to give feedback when you do get a chance to use them thoroughly.
