Hello, I'm level 6 and have a focus of 14. I use guns. God I love guns.
I created this character on Recursion purely for guns (and of course
RP.) But I've met a problem.

Whenever I go into interlock with my guns, I get red rolls, around 53
but sometimes dipping into the 20s. I know that there's supposed to be
a penalty for using guns in interlock, but I have Sharpshooter equipped
so that should negate that, right?

And when I get disarmed, I get rolls of abour 100-112.

What the heck is wrong??

Red rolls usually means you're either having your weaknesses exposed,
or you're not exposing any of their weaknesses. I'm not sure which
sorry :smileyindifferent:

Well, I doubt it's that I'm not exposing their weaknesses, because as I
said the red rolls go away when I use melee. And I don't see why it
would be them exposing my weaknesses because it's always red as opposed to occasionally, and again, it goes away when I go melee.

Are you sure you have sharpshooter loaded? It's colored in your skill tree? If it is, what gun are you using?

Yeah, pretty sure it is. Checked and checked again, and took it off then loaded it back on just to be safe.

And I try all three, nothing.

If you ask me it's based upon how long you stay in combat. When I first interlock I find I'm getting penalized, however, after a few rounds the rolls go green and by far higher (ive rolled 240's before in red and anything up to 360 in green). However, its very hard to get to this stage, especially since an Martial Artist can just attack you once and you've lost your guns, and it just restarts the process from there. When I was using dual pistols i was getting penalized so often that I loaded Consistant Technique, so that when i was penalized, it wasn't too bad.

Overall, gun rolls are the most random of all, one second you can be outrolling and MA, then the next a Hacker can out roll you. And as for Dodge Ranged, I can activate Line up the shot and Steady Aim, and still miss a lot of shots (this normally goes for Force Multipliers and Upgrade Masters).

Also, I'm pretty sure you get penalized for shooting at someone who is in interlock. But on the other hand, some gunman moves can do a lot of damage (especially full auto redux) and are best used for support roles, although Expert Rifleman and Sniper can be a good solo load if you know what your doing.

Your weakness is either exposed or you are CT debuffed.
