its been some time since I've used much with regular rifles, this could be interesting. Also I realized a problem with the AC I'd been using for missions and such yesterday... I had the argyros gen on it, and good lord was that thing eating up a ton of weight.
Also... would that setup be a good platform for trying out different weapon sets with? because that's kinda what I tend to do. Once I find a core design that feels right, I just change the weapons accordingly when faced with a new challenge.
edit: well, I've got a little bit of work cut out for me it seems. I don't have the HLC01, and I think I realized why just now, even though I played through normal a few times, for the different endings... I forgot to do the hard missions, so I definitely have some work cut out.

yet another edit: well, I answered my own question really... and a side note, I like the design, everything feels very fluidic and smooth. I'm kinda surprised at how long it takes to burn up my energy considering I've got aaliyah boosters equipped, but regardless... awesome design.
