Press My carrer and detailed stats
I haven't had a chance to get online and try it out yet but from the information I can gather, it will probably deal around a maximum of 95. Possibly more, but probably less.
Direct bolt damage = 20
Splash damage
1 charge = 10 (1 x 10)
3 charges = 30 (3 x 10)
5 charges = 75 (5 x 15)
So max damage for a 5 charge bowcaster should be 95 if one of the bolts hits the target when used with the jumppack.
It will probably still kill at extremely short ranges if you can get enough of the bolts to hit a target for direct damage in addition to the splash but you risk severe splash damage to yourself (up to 75 damage).
Are you on PS4? Add me on PSN if so. Cargo is one of my most played modes as well.
Thx but on xBone sorry.... love Cargo
Its definitely worse at the standard pistol ranges than it used to be (i.e. up to 20m when the damage begins to drop).
The image above from is from Symthic which still using the old values but the fire rate nerf is is effectively a 39% increase in TTK putting it at around 389ms, right in the middle of the SE-14C and DH-17.
The DPS loss is sort of made up for with increased accuracy because the extra time between shots allows for more recoil reduction to occur, and its still a 1-hit kill with headshots.
Its also still significantly better at short ranges than blaster rifles.

Been happy on how quick and stable my matches have been (with poor internet no less) until today. I hope it clears up tomorrow or I stumble on a solution. Rank 41 on PS4.
Nice. Gonna give it a shot. Explosives?
This is always my loadout on cargo: thermal detonator, personal shield, barrage.
Cool. I'm going to mix it up a little bit, then with this new Patch see how it goes.
I'd say that's a good thing.
Not only is it saving the ass of people from a cheap shot, but it makes people using Homing Shot have to put some more work into getting that "free-kill." Thus, making actually getting a homing shot right feel all the more sweeter, without the cost of other people's frustration.

I'm kind of glad the Homing Shot is useless. Personally, I like more skilled based weapons. For instance, the Cycler Rifle, it has the potential to one shot, however there is skill involved. If you're trying to shoot a target at long range; you have to take into account bullet drop and also lead the target, furthermore it has to be a head shot to get a one hit kill (unless they are already damaged). If I got killed by the Cycler Rifle at long range while I was moving, I would be like that was a good shot man. However, if it's something like the Pulse Cannon, I wouldnt think much of it because that weapon is ridiculously easy to use.
Playing on the PS4, the T21-B was my primary weapon for the longest time after I unlocked it before I moved to the EE-3 for its better versatility and close range power. I've got 1688 kills with it compared to 2255 with the EE-3, the next highest is the E-11 with 434. I just love the precision of the T21-B, with its 3-hit kills at all ranges and minimal recoil/spread.
The T-21 is reasonably similar in some respects but I just can't find the same love for it. The extra recoil and lack of zoom just isn't compensated for by the extra damage and automatic fire. The E-11 outperforms it at medium range, the EE-3 is better at close range, and the long range without a zoom is lacklustre.The T-21/T-21B firing sound is awesome though
I want to like it but its just feels so... meh... It may be a different story on PC with its higher aiming precision to take advantage of that power.

My first game of Drop Zone on the new map and my first game back after not playing for a month. Not bad I think. Melee is much more effective against Personal Shields now.

What bullshit. I really miss the stats websites like you get for the Battlefield games. I really hope that this is just a battlefront thing, but I bet that this will be EA's policy going forward.

Ive been running a helmetless trooper lately, dont like it. Going back to the helmet.
I won't listen to all this talk of helmetless Stormtroopers. Such blatant disregard of rules and protocol is why the Empire lost. Any trooper wishing to "express" his or herself in this way is free to report directly to Lord Vader and discuss it with him personally. I'm given to understand such discussions are brief and to the point.

Helmet-less Stormtroopers are traitors. TRAITORS.
I like the cut of your jib. You'll go far in this Empire.
Refusing to wear your helmet is a gateway drug to Rebelism.

Agreed with the both of you.
Here here. Never went helmetless, never will.
Traitors!
Unless I am playing as a Rebel, then it's, "Imperial dog's"!

Instead of getting blasted by Homing Shots, I'm now getting blasted constantly by Pulse Cannons. At least on Hoth and Jakku.
Still, a much better experience than pre-patch.
Also the helmetless bullshit just shows how crunched for time DICE was. I wish they would have done other stormtrooper variations rather than just copying the Rebel heads.

Nobody chimed in when I speculated this in the other thread

That is everyone's theory, lol. And more than likely what it is, hence why it is coming out after the movie, and will contain location spoilers.
It also may give them a new cannon villian. It seemed very obvious, but then again, we shall see.

I can get behind this.
i can't immediately support any content from Rogue 1. What is Rogue 1? Is it a good movie? Does it have memorable characters or locations? I have no idea, I don't know if anybody does.
i dont understand anyone who would hop on the rogue 1 DLC bandwagon before even seeing the movie.

It is in the OT-storyline
If you quit a match mid game in the same game that you complete a challenge, do you not get credit for that challenge?
I had to just quit a match because of a work call amd it was the same match I finished the get 75 targeting rifle kills. On the companion app it's not showing I completed it. Gonna be pretty pissed if that's the case.

He will be in the movie. Do you know who will be the actor?

What he said. They want to build up more lore, for books, comics, a more fleshed out timeline of events, etc. It is all a part of the OT, thus new cannon instilled by Disney and the new LucasArts structure.
You as a fan, don't have to accept it, however, this is the new direction they are taking with the IP. Thus all signs point to it.
I am sure they want to build other characters up as well, to make more cannon, lore, toys, books, comics, etc.
There will probably be a bad ass villain that worked on some special ops group from the empire tasked with dealing with the Rebellion's version. Kind of like the Inquisitors from Star Wars Rebels.
They could bring Starkiller back...
Sometimes you can survive for a Pretty long time. Unless its WA. I wish vehicles could have some sort of star cards. Like no-lockons for at-sts under some time or whatever
That dude is the definition of OP.
