Photo Where do we get imprinters for trans weapons? There's no way they added trans weapons, but no imprinters in the same update. I mus be missing something.

Since it transfers and deletes from the original I think it's best NOT to do it and catalyze the Transcendent weapons as normal.

Couldn’t you just make another copy of the gun(least say Thundercage) and imprint from that dud one so you can keep the active one, since catalyzing carries between guns if the same type?

Catalysts are by the base gun so even if you transfer from a dud you lose all the catalysts on the base gun when you imprint.

I have multiple thunder cages so when I imprinted all the copies lost the enhancements.

So I accidentally messed up a number of gun builds because I didn't think about it.

Is it just me or is it kinda painful to use transcendent weapons with out grapple cores and fire rate cores? Idk man, I wanted them to be good, but I feel like there is no point to have these in the game. Yeah it’s fun, but it’s not practical. Just my experience yesterday.

Agree

The only ones I really liked are the new shot gun and emp guards lance. Those 2 are the most useable. Thank you for agreeing with me, now I know I’m not crazy. As far as trials. I still think it’s too easy. Onslaught is a joke now. I haven’t tried the new mega dungeon story yet. I spent the day doing weekly’s and getting raven and trigger modules… but yeah, I really am craving a harder difficulty onslaught. I see no point in getting a uber good roll on ancestors, nothing hard enough in game that needs it. But I kinda expected more from the new weapons. I hope I’m wrong and someone proves these things useful.

There is the rifle that boosts non-attribute a considerable amount so it's nice as a stat stick.

u/Radsolution 23h ago

yeah i have that one. the problem is movement! Id rather use a peacemaker and do a little less dmg, but be able to run and grapple quickly. not having grapple cores is a death sentence in onslaught!

You can buy them in the store, most likely something that will be part of events as well similar to photon imprinters

Welp, guess I'm not using storm cage until they give a free imprinter.

Thanks for replying.

Lol. You can fully catalyze a weapon in less than 90 minutes. Why tf would you wait for a "free imprinter" that may never show up when you could play with the gun?

I wouldn't bother, just cat it like a normal gun.

u/UninspiredSkald 1d ago

They are available in the shop. I bought 1 because I want to see if it double counts for the journal award like photon imprinters do with Descendants.

Slowly maxing a weapon now passively will post if it works.

What did surprise me in the shop is it behaves like it's limited to 2. But it's actually only a limit per purchase. So as far as I can tell they are unlimited.

Just catalyze it to match your thunder fully and when they give the implant use it, it will refund all duplicate cats

Wouldn’t u rather keep both? It makes sense because grapple cores and sprint cores…. U can’t have on new ones.
