Quick Comparison
Choose by target and replacement cost.
| Situation | Pick | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Budget raids | Stiletto | Cheaper to craft and upgrade |
| Missed shots in close-range PvP | Stiletto | Faster follow-up shots |
| Hornet armor | Renegade | Penetrated armor in two test shots |
| Exposed ARC rotors | Stiletto | Removed Wasp and Hornet rotors in two test shots each |
Choose the Stiletto unless you need the Renegade's armor penetration.
ARC Weak-Spot Results
Level-four weapon tests produced these results:
| Target | Stiletto | Renegade |
|---|---|---|
| Wasp | Two shots per rotor | One shot to destroy |
| Hornet | Two shots per rotor; struggled against armor | Two shots to penetrate armor; one per rotor |
| Comet | Destroyed before detonation; shot count unknown | Four shots to destroy |
| Shredder | Killed quickly; shot count unreliable | 10 shots to destroy |
Shoot Hornet rotors with the Stiletto; switch weapons or angles when armor blocks your shots.
- Comet approaching: Maintain a clear firing line; the Stiletto destroyed one before detonation in the test.
- Shredder comparison: Skip a shot-count verdict because the Stiletto test included a suspected obstruction.
- Test limitation: Distance, game version, and every hit location were not established.
Crafting and Repair Costs
These are the listed material requirements:
| Stage | Stiletto | Renegade |
|---|---|---|
| Craft level 1 | 4 mechanical components; 4 simple gun parts | 5 oil; 3 medium gun parts; 2 advanced mechanical components |
| Upgrade 1 to 2 | 3 mechanical components; 1 simple gun part | 1 advanced mechanical component; 2 medium gun parts |
| Upgrade 2 to 3 | 3 mechanical components; 1 simple gun part | 1 advanced mechanical component; 2 medium gun parts |
| Upgrade 3 to 4 | 1 light gun part | 2 advanced mechanical components; 2 medium gun parts |
| Total to level 4 | 10 mechanical components; 6 simple gun parts; 1 light gun part | 5 oil; 9 medium gun parts; 6 advanced mechanical components |
| Level-four repair example | 4 mechanical components; 4 simple gun parts | 3 advanced mechanical components; 3 medium gun parts |
Save your medium gun parts and advanced mechanical components by running the Stiletto.
Repair caveat: The repair example does not establish the starting durability or cost at every durability level.
PvP: Faster Follow-Ups vs. Harder Hits
- Stiletto: Fire from cover and change angles when an opponent retreats.
- Renegade: Line up each shot; its slower fire rate leaves a longer gap after a miss.
- Shield break: Check for nearby ARC and other players before chasing or looting.
- Three-shot encounter: A Renegade defeated a medium-shield opponent in three hits, but the opponent's starting health and shield condition were unknown.
Do not treat that encounter as a guaranteed three-shot kill.
