Hello everyone,

I don't remember quite exactly but are the modifiers at different rarity levels randomized for these event rewards? For example, this new Crystal Radiation Projector weapon, Zefram Cochcrane shotgun and the Mirror Universe Agony rifle among others etc?

    If I recall correctly for the shotgun they were originally randomized (but you could keep reclaiming it) then they changed it to fixed mods.

    You claimed the item day 1?

    Great. Now the event is gonna get nerfed like the Summer/Winter/Anniversary Event was...

    Okay. I guess that's good in a way. My Zefram shotgun has [CritD]x2 [CritH]x2 but I think I saw some Google picture of an Epic version with CritDx3 so I guess that explains it.

    I hope the Crystal Radiation Projector does not gain some silly and useless mod when upgraded. The weapon does look cool and seem to have some neat attacks.

    Well, I have several old Crystalline Events still queued and never claimed their rewards (yet). It mostly happened because of work and me getting out of sync so I was unable to claim some Crystalline event rewards with the shards gained during their respective events.

    As such I left several of them still queued/open so I don't have to use up new event crystal shards for the old events. I did it so I can finish the Crystalline events that I consider worthy. Because of that I happened to have enough shards for this current event.

    At any rate, given how the Crystalline Event runs several times per year I suspect they will not do what they did with the Summer/Winter/Anniversary events. At least I hope not.

    Is this the reward for the event now
  • nephitisnephitis Member Posts: 456 Arc User
    Yes it is. I can tell that it works extremely well. The radiation or DOT that it applies is guaranteed for each shot. The weapon works extremely well with the Temporal specialization which increases the DOT damage and also applies a damage resistance debuff to "radiated" targets.

    The weapon also has no "charge up" time on primary firing mode like the assault weapons. The secondary firing mode does have a brief charge up but it's not something that breaks combat like some of the other weapons It's an AOE attack that applies the radiation on all targets. The melee attack is also AOE and actually also applies that DOT damage.

    It's a fun weapon to play with for sure. It isn't disappointing like the Na'kuhl mission rifle and the Mirror Universe Agony rifle.

    So a ground weapon that is really worth having? Sounds a lot better than the Red D.i.l.d.o... I mean the Vorgon Tetryon Discharge Prism.

    I should be able to get it 4 days early on one of my Captains since I have 4 crystals from the last event.

    I just switched to my KDF science toon and saw I already had 13 shards and I'm holy heck i never finished the last event so tomorrow she will be the first toon to get this sweet weapon. Can't wait to try it out
