Yeah! Best gun ever! Dmg A Clip B Range A+ CrHit A++ Value A (very cheap)
P.S.: Stigma - Dmg B+ Clip A+++ Range A+ CrHit A Value E-- (hard to find)

i quite agree im a trader (only lvl 5 but ohh well) and iuse a x-3 soo much better than any shotty i can get i love it :)

I'll soon be equipping a x-3 on my trader to...currently using a cat, and VERY pleased with that.....really looking forward to getting x-3 on:)

shoty=better for trader
x-3=ok for agent
You guys need to calm down this gun isnt THAT great.

it is -.-

When you can match the AR cap on this gun it does 5-6k crits =0) it is becoming a personal favorite of a few Tl7 agents I know.

Guaranteed 13k AS's sortof helps on that one. ^^

its got a sparkle pack, what more could you want, I was also dubious about all the hype this gun generated, my agent was using a Stigma, but when a friend gave me an X-3 (It wasn't this same one, it was a Ql 85 one, I was lvl 56 then) I decided to try it out, and I think it is great, maybe a psniper is better, but I'm still ting to get SL/AI, so they'll have to wait, the crits are great considering agents have nanos to increase their crits, but for other proffs, I have no idea wether its good or not.....

are these rollable?

No, drops in mission- and dynabosses only.

this is a good gun. i have it on my agent. only problem is it took me a while to find one.

with a ql 250 vision enhancer, the Longshot out-damages it, i find

Maybe; but the Longshot is way harder to get. The X-3 is a very nice gun - but I'm not sure whether I should take the Assassins Cat. X-3 has an 1 min + AS-cycle - really annoying. -.-

Anyone know how much a ql 200 X-3 Sells for? If you have one I am interested in buying it, if it isn't a huge amount of money.

Goes for 500k - 2m in playershops on RK3

i got a friend, 10K AS on borgs at lvl 70

With a lvl 140 gun

so? 0.o

nice , gun gr8 AS, long wait to AS recharge indeed.:<

It's a nice rifle for sure, the best for fr00bs even I think, but it's just not meant for usage with a targeting scope... The scope is nice for a perennium since it's fast, but for this the "HUD Upgrade: Enhanced Target Acquisition" (http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=156773) is much better.
The guaranteed 13K aimed shots may be nice, but the damage per minute is considerably lower. (checked it with the damage calculator)

I wrote that at around level 135, at 175+ a 270-275 targeting scope is definately nice to have.
Get a soldier to cast offensive steamfoller or cast it yourself in mimic and implant ranged init; I get it to 1/1 that way (you need 690 init at full agg).

I know this is still the favorite gun of a few lvl 220 Agents due to it's insane ganking potencial. :P They have it with a capping AS though.

Nasty... Just under a 1.5min AS cycle with the skill required to equip

Actually, the best rifle for froobs is the Focus Rifle: http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=214284 (QL 200 one shown)

It's only useable by Omni Agents, but there's a Clan version somewhere.

clan = Rebellion(pre ql 300) and Revolution Rifle(pure 300 sweetness) http://auno.org/ao/db.php?id=214291

Since when froobs can go to SL? :P

Since the Focus Rifle hasn't had an SL tag ever since it was implemented in patch 15.0.1.....check links before posting. Back on topic: All around great rifle for those on a budget :)

@Xebulba & Moonbat

eh isn't the Focus NoDrop? or am I missing something here? I don't see how a fr00b could possibly use that regardless if no SL tag, you have to be IN SL to loot one if it's NoDrop.

I think Sacrosanct wpn is YESdrop, i think Turn Spirits are YESdrop... how if fr00b gets both and combine himself those? So what if it becomes nodrop _AFTER_ combination... Yes froobs can use "upgraded" Sacrosanct wpns... been that way years... since SL came :)

gotcha, makes sense now, the agent version on Spastic. sweet.

with 100 froob in formans, only ql 125 imps, i hitted quite much AS with a 143 yata
You hit Chemical Vindicator for 10087 points of Aimed Shot damage.

You hit Blind Eyemutant for 10087 points of Aimed Shot damage.
You hit Blind Eyemutant for 1998 points of energy damage.Critical hit!
