Codename weapons are ultra powerful weapons, go to Sigma 13 and look for wrecks.

Apparently, they were a Rheinland experiment. They can't be found on any bases, so apparently they weren't considered that successful. (They drain a hell of a lot of energy.)

Whered you find that?

Anyway if they were Rheinland then why are they found on corsair, bounty hunter and outcast ships as well.

It's a natural military motivation. They all want some insanely powerful gun with an cool name.

remember you need a l10 capable ship for these guns so unless all you wanna do is sell them dont bother as you can loot wrecks only once it seems
fi you have a l10 ship good hunting though the wrecks may have already been looted if its mp

To me, even the Diamondback seems sucky, so I sell any wreck guns I get. I can't hit anything with weapons of refire 2.

Best use for those things is to loot them during SP and get your worth up really high, really fast so you don't have to do as many freelance missions.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000

the refire rate of 2 is a pain but if you havent access to ........... better not
list the guns here ,the damage output can be used very effectively if you modify your attacks and dont take on anything too agile

Yep, the 2.00 are way too slow for me, but the 3.03s are quite nice.

If only the SILVER FIRE looked actually like silver instead of gold...

If you use a few lv10 weapons with a few laser cannons or another fast refire rate gun, then that works the best for me because you know where to aim for your big guns and the fast weapons usually don't take up that much power. (I use them like tracer bullets, so i can smash up the enemies quickly)

@Caesar, in army they use light-bullets in high-speed devenced to aim

u do exactly the same with a single high-speed weap...
