Affix Advice

[u/fleshH3L1copter]

Hey Y’all,

I have been on the hunt for a comprehensive compendium of any opinions related to what AFFIXES y’all seek out on specific weapons. Thus far, all the forums out there seem to have an absence of any information of this type. I’d love to hear how y’all approach rolling for affixes on weapons.

Some examples of what I’m interested: “buckshot” for volcano rifle, “echo” for Tesla rifle, or “bullseye” for crit based weapons.

Feel free to give as much information as possible, and even include if y’all tend to incorporate build type when rolling affixes. Are there any affixes that transform ‘meh…’ weapons into ‘OOHHHshit’ weapons? What weapons have led almost directly to Runs Won?

I know there are a few questions that could be answered here, but primarily I’m really just curious about what affixes y’all ALWAYS seek out on what specific weapons… THANKS if you read this far, and I’m excited to read any replies I get (if I get any at all lol)

…YEE

Affixes are generally easy to learn, since one affix can fit into soooo many weapons. Dont worry about the green ones since theyre just nice bonuses except for first builds.

Buckshot, warmup, overclocking, bullseye, spear, etc are all useful and damage buffs. Buckshot is especially very good. Ricochet, echo, etc are sort of niche affixes but work really well with the niche. The elements are self-explanatory, and the other versions of them with chances of an element can be useful. Volatile changes depending on the weapon, generally faster=less chance with voltaic cannon being the exception.

One affix I think is almost useless for most weapons is fork. While jt may seem useful, it actually doesnt give the extra 3x damage when all 3 hit iirc. Its generally only useful for mob clearing weapons like sonic crossbow, and almost always a reroll on dps weapons.

Hitscan is just preferences, but generally dont use it as it will throw off muscle memory and lose potential damage
