But the Chad doesn’t use ammo. And it’s unlikely I’d be carrying around multiple pistols, especially since all the left-handed ones went out the airlock.

Hm. I might need to throw that in too then.
It still works with the build and Regen. Basically you use the Linage to burn through your ammo and deal damage. Then hold the Chad and hit a crit. You’ll Regen from 0 to 1000 in 10 seconds.
Also unlike regular guns, where the Regen stops when you get a full mag, CoV guns never stop regenerating ammo. With practice you’ll never get low and be out of the fight.
Who is reviving us all the time? Hyperion, also if you miss you only have yourself to blame.
Jakobs ammunition does leave a fine aroma in the air though.
Favorite: Maliwan
For Fun: Tediore
Coolness: Jakobs
My second favorite would be Torque as I love to use stickies and reload to deal damage
They stop when the ammo pool is full. With Vladof sized buffed magazines I never have to reload or use more than one mag worth of ammo from my pool. I’m not juggling weapons to have one gun feed another, and I can fire endlessly. There’s some synergy with her skills and CoV weapons, but mags are better.
It’s kind of a trade off. With Vladof, you risk still running out of ammo because of the intense fire rate, as I have in some arenas, and so require magazine size bonuses to compensate or else you risk firing faster than you regen ammo. But with COV, a single point in Redistribution would be more than enough, but you still have to watch the heat. The benefits are just a bit situational.
Defenitely Dahl for me.
I was never a big dan if maliwan because of charge up times. However I recently found a maliwan called the ionic interloper and it’s a beast. No charge time and does crazy elemental damage. It you see a maliwan with the interloper tag, GET IT
CoV doesn’t have a mag so as long as you don’t have full ammo it will regen. Mags aren’t better they function the same.
That’s why you get Selfless Vengeance and Click Click. You want to over heat and burn things down as fast as you can.
Except with sufficient mag size you’ll never have to reload. With CoV weapons you will always overheat/break. Her skills are more effective at mitigating emptying magazines than CoV heat. Putting rounds back in the mag directly counters spending those rounds, whereas lowering the heat produced per shot never fully counters the production of heat.
On top of that, the “break” animations seem to by and large be more of an interruption than most reload animations. The CoV weapons will certainly get more consistent use out of the skill that gives a damage bonus for accumulated heat, but IIRC the bonus didn’t seem impressive enough to counter the drawbacks. But I think we’re digressing a bit too much. Mayhap a thread about the merits of CoV weapons specifically is in order.
Jakobs on the sniper rifles and assault rifles. Jakobs and Torque on shotguns. Hyperion SMGs. Mostly Dahl on pistols. I usually just toss the Maliwan gear, though I do have a legendary Maliwan SMG that I’ve held on to.
I’m a big fan of anything dakka dakka so it’s Vladov for me, with Dahl a close runner-up for handling.
