Just checked that the +5% all energy dmg doesn't work on the rifle
Now before anyone replies saying that it shouldn't because the rifle deals kinetic damage, I have also tested the Omega rep ground weapon trait which in fact does increase the rifle's damage, even though it states that it increases energy dmg
So from my perspective it's bugged in either of the 3 scenarios:
- wrong tooltip on the Omega rep trait - should say all ranged weapon dmg or sth.
- Omega weapon trait incorrectly affects the sniper rifle - considering that it deals kinetic dmg and the trait is supposed to only increase energy dmg
- Omega armor dmg bonus is bugged and should affect the rifle and have a better tooltip - I do know that the rifle is kinetic dmg, but it would be a shame for the armor to not affect it. If this one is correct, the tooltip should also be changed to sth like "all ranged dmg".
I'm personally in favour of the 3rd one
I do hope that there won't be any pointless comments referring to the rifle's power or sth similar, I mainly want the bug to be fixed, be it the tooltip or mechanic, regardless of how it will be done (granted I do hope the rifle will get the dmg bonus :P)
If you're speaking about the 'Omega Weapon Proficieny' trait, it does apply a 5% bonus to the TR-116B rifle. I just checked on my one and when I activate the trait, it does indeed increase the weapon damage by 5%.

if you read carefully I aim to address the omega armor set bonus which doesn't affect the sniper weapon dmg - the trait is just for comparison, as it does increase rifle dmg (as you confirmed ) even though it states that it will only increase energy dmg (vs rifles physical)
so long story short - I'd like the set bonus to be addressed (in comparison to the trait)
Ah wow, that's what I get for reading posts at 4AM haha. Yeah ok, confirmed on my toon that the Omega armour doesn't apply the 5% bonus to the TR-116B.
