So Paciencia isn't quite twice as fast as the AMR, but with the high crit damage and boosted crit chance, it will do appreciably more than half damage, especially with a crit-focused build. This reduces to 1.9 seconds per shot with all applicable perks/abilities.
4 shots/second and 8 shots per reload is 20 seconds between reloads, 2.5 seconds to reload, is 8 shots in 22.5 seconds, or about 2.8 seconds per shot. This is down to just under 1.1 seconds per shot with all applicable perks/abilities.ĪMR. Paciencia: 1.2 shots/second and 3 shots per reload is 2.5 seconds between reloads, 2 seconds to reload, is 3 shots in 4.5 seconds, or 1.5 seconds per shot. Add in almost double the firing speed (with reloading taken into account) and some crit-boosting stuff (high luck, Finesse, crit-boosting gear, etc.), and I would guess that it could probably match or exceed the AMR's damage output.
It's got half the base damage of the Antimaterial rifle, but the same crit damage and double the crit chance. Some of that informtion (fire speed, reload speed, etc.) is available on the individual weapon description pages.Īdmittedly, I haven't tried any of the GRA weapons because of a computer failure which left me unable to play FNV, but I would try Paciencia, the unique hunting rifle.
