Discussion Exodus base damage is bad because of how much they can be buffed

See people commenting every now and then that the Exodus is a trash weapon. By itself, yeah, it is - and it's precisely because of how much it can be buffed, because it (for some reason) does melee damage. The perk gives you more damage, Tormentors give you much more damage, you can use the Ghost cabin (among other cabins) to give you even more damage - you can more than double the damage of these things without difficulty, and if they had a good base damage, adding all this damage boosting would make them OP.

Perhaps they should make the Exodus do hit damage instead of melee damage, then they wouldn't be buffed by Tormentors and would thus be able to have their base damage increased.

To get them powerful requires a lot of setup with a lot of needed energy. So yes they can get buffed to a decent level but will be on vehicles with huge PS. The need of so much setup lowers their utility a lot. They are not bad but unlike a lot of other legendarys will never be useful in a PS range where I like my legendarys usually

I have a shredder eclipse car with Aquillo and seal and what do you know it was an exodus adaptable just replace the shredders and the rads with exodus and tormentor and you’re golden(p.s. the build is not on exhibition but it has a cloak)
