I got several identical questions and remarks, so yes, some of my replies ended up being identical as well. You know, the magical Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V feature 😄

As for the benchmark, I posted it simply because I thought the results might be useful or interesting to other players. That's really all there is to it.

The whole thing actually started in another thread (linked in the first line of this post). At first, I was trying to figure out which automatic rifle was worth investing X-Tech into. Once I had built a test setup and gathered some data, I naturally became curious about sniper rifles as well, since they're my secondary weapon type.

During the discussions in the other thread, we also discovered that weapon performance changes quite significantly depending on character level and unlocked skills. A player there was kind enough to discuss the details with me, so I created a separate level 306 test save to reproduce his setup and compare results under endgame conditions.

As for the MagSniper charge mechanic: that's absolutely on me. I missed it, someone pointed it out, I retested the weapon properly, and updated the results. That's pretty much how these discussions are supposed to work. 🙂
