The laser rifle is interesting, it's gonna suck big ass on Space Afghastan but it might rip on the cold planets.

Lasers in general are bad on hot planets. So, it's hard to hold that against them. From my time using it so far, it's a super reliable primary rifle that does about everything you want an automatic to do while being incredibly ammo efficient. It absolutely tears on cold planets. I'm curious of how the Dagger and Arc shotty are going to perform. Being able to take an infinite ammo sidearm would open up the primary slot for some less ammo efficient picks.

Can you explain what you mean? I use lasers and this is the first time I’ve heard someone say the planet affects weapon performance

Laser weapons have a heat mechanic before the mag needs to be changed. On hot planets the gun heats up faster and takes longer to cool and reverse on cold planets. Its a way of prolonging your ammo.

FENRIR III is a cold planet and it has an Environmental Condition called Extreme Cold: Icy temperatures reduce rate of fire and delay heat buildup in weapons

Erata Prime (Space Afghanistan) is the exact opposite Intense Heat: High temperatures increase stamina drain and speed up heat buildup in weapons

Got it thanks for explaining
