federation shotgun

Hey everyone,

I think i have this figured out, but before i go wasting 1000 omega marks i just want to be sure.

I am very interested in acquiring the fed shotgun i have seen people with in stfs. It took me a while to figure it out, but tell me if this is correct.

The shotgun is an adapted maco rifle with traits similar to the KDF honor guard set. To get it, one must first get the full MACO mk XII set, then it will unlock for use.

Right now i'm in full OMEGA gear and I see no need to have full maco too, so I just wanted to be sure before i get into it.

Your response is appreciated!

    That's correct. The shotgun (whose secondary fire is a grenade launcher) is from the Adapted MACO MK12 set, which only becomes available once you've completed the MACO MK12 set.

    The Adapted MACO set is currently the best for pure damage. Standard MACO is the best for survivability, while Omega falls in between. You usually won't go wrong using Adapted MACO with the MACO sniper rifle as your secondary weapon. The only issue with that is they use the same energy type, but the set bonus remodulation usually cools down before that becomes an issue.

    At the very least you should consider the MACO rifle. It is an excellent sniper rifle.

    I still use my old borg store MK XII Pulsewave with the Omega Mk XII set on my Fed main. With the KHG Mx XII set and ole borg store Anti-proton assault rifle on my KDF main. Works like a champ.

    The standard maco set is tops at nothing really due to how horrible shields perform in ground combat.

    The KHG gives you a lot of HP, a HP heal and HP healing procs, slight damage boost with one great weapon.

    The omega boosts your damage and exposes very often for even more damage. Adds a lot of dodge skill, some resistance, a short cloak, and its weapon naturally roots.

    The maco set reduces damage to shield.. which still last one hit. More resists to physical damage. And some bonus knock backs. Set bonus is a partial shield heal.. so less than one hit and insignificant resistance.
