Don't forget to activate the Commander (old guy in top row) before a Deputy that does the Supreme Packs. That will give you 9.3 days of the Deputy instead of 7 days. It also takes 30% off of the time Supreme Packs change for the life of the Commander.

Or, just play it as is. Not ever sure about these three stage events. There is a suit of armor and some 14* SMs to get even if the weapon is a bust.

Boy-oh-boy, this Stage 1 weapon is one of the worst. Fully upgraded, it takes multiple shots to take out drones and goons and 6+ shots for helicopters. And this is only at Chapter 4. How Chapter 10 is going to be completed is beyond me. It might take multiple slo-mos to do the job. Even now, my equipped avatar has a slo-mo perk that is being used.

The Stage 2 weapon has double the strength, but double nothing is still nothing. Stage 3 is five times stronger than Stage 1 and requires the armor suit won in Stage 2, which has rockets. The Stage 2 and 3 weapons better have some major perks that save the day...that is, if I get that far.

Agree completely, this thing is a real pain in use, even getting timed out on levels, so yep, her go the slow-mo's

Really hacked offwith this weapon, stage 8 mission 4 destroy all helicopters, damn thing is so weak you can't get all the helicopters and goons. Barrage once and still times out.

It takes several slo-mos do defeat the helicopter missions. Just wait until you get to Chapters 9 and 10!

My suggestion: At the beginning of the Chapter, use a 10 minute infinite slo-mo from the Chard event. Then use them back to back along with your rocket avatar. It should be enough time to finish all 5 missions in the Chapter.

You probably already know this.

It appears the Stage 2 weapon has twice the power but still will be absurdly weak.

I have finished the 1st stage but it's ridiculously poor for a 3 stage weapon, including the reload time. Personnaly my feelings are that they just don't care anymore.

Stage 2, and much better, now taking out enemies in 1 shot, so a good bit stronger but whether it will be a game changer is still to see.

'A Game Changer' I think not. Having "Perseverance" makes it near useless in PvP, just load a base with shielded Suppressors and Assasins.

Well gear and stage 2 weapon is still useless against a 'normal' now base, unlikely the stage 3 weapon will make any difference.

Have to agree, dropped my base down to a 13* avg, and couldn't even drop a defender. Another POS.

And onto stage 3, added attributes include Infravision which can be useful.

Symbiosis is also a nice attribute given the slow reload process.

After Chapter 2, the weapon is fully upgraded. The 9+ day Deputy is dream at producing and opening Supreme Packs.

Now there are many, many wasted weapon parts and more to come in future play. The last Exotic event had the Forge running and the parts were used for Forge fuel. Not so lucky this time.
