Pricecheck of gun with higher eco rating than MM

Wondering what the value of a gun would be if it's Weapon Economy Rating was higher than that of a Mod Merc (MM).

MM has weapon economy rating of 69.7%



For example my Modified Fire Forge BGH 4400M tier 3 has an eco rating of 71.5%

So it's has a higher eco rating than a MM and considerably longer range. Which means you can dispense of mobs before they reach you. So you kill mobs efficiently and save on all defense costs and don't even need any armour provided you select your mobs intelligently.

List of some benefits:

• Economically kill mobs even large one like Proterons before they reach you
• No defense costs as you can kill mobs before they reach you
• No need to wear any armour
• No need for a fap
• No need for revive timer
• No need for buffs, rings, pets, pills etc (Saving on these costs)
• Very long range rifle
• Due to large range, range enhancers will further significantly increase range
• Extremely low rate of enhancer breakage (which you could view as almost free usage)
• Can be used as a tagger and main gun

dont forget to add that with oc a204 on both guns the mod merc has more than double the dps. so not really comparable imo.

It always had higher dpp than Mod Merc, 3.065 vs 3.043 dpp unamped or 3.082 vs 3.078 dpp with HyperA204. So higher eco is nothing new and I guess the old price difference is plausible still.

With the huge difference in dps the Mod Merc really is in another league, however Mod BGH 4400M definitely has a niche where it should work better. Long range hunting ~1.5k hp mobs that go down before they reach you, ie in less than 30 seconds if amped. If coming down to 1k hp you are bordering overkill and with 2k hp there's not many mobs you take down before they reach you unless very slow like Proteron. So the niche is kinda narrow but at least there is one.

Unsure what Mod BGH 4400M or the almost identical Herman XLR Chulan Edition has been going for lately, somewhere between 15-20k?

and even less, it was basically the insane tiering costs.

just keep in mind the overkill factor

no need for a pet but as faster walking pet is nice with long range so can you walk backwards faster and kill even more hp mobs before they get close

MM and this gun also great combo

I paid 20-22k for this gun from Jimmy XP maybe 4 years ago.
