I’ve been trying to figure out the difference between Furious and Reverse Furious perks in my builds. My damage output is decent, but it feels like it should be higher. I’m starting to wonder if I’m not using my perks correctly. Can anyone clarify how these two work? Also, I meant to mention Onslaught instead of Reverse Onslaught – I typically use the regular Onslaught with high DPS weapons like the Gat Plasma in raids and use the Reverse Onslaught for one-shot weapons like rifles. I’m thinking of unequipping the Gunslinger mod that’s causing the Reverse Onslaught when in raids since I notice my damage isn’t increasing. Any insights would be appreciated!

Just to add, Reverse Onslaught is tricky with shotguns or multi-pellet weapons because each pellet counts as a shot, which can drop your stacks quickly. For effective use, pick weapons with a slower fire rate like single-shot rifles. Otherwise, you’re just losing stacks by shooting…
Yeah, what you mentioned about Onslaught is important too. With Furious, it really benefits from rapid-fire weapons because you keep stacking damage. Reverse Onslaught builds damage over time, but hits weaken if you keep firing, especially with low fire rate guns. So if you’re in raids, stick to regular Onslaught with auto weapons for the best output!
The simplest way to think about it is that Furious works best with fast-firing weapons while Reverse Furious is for slower-firing ones. With Furious, you’ll gain damage stacks as you continuously fire, which is great for weapons with a high rate of fire. On the other hand, the Reverse Furious stacks diminish as you shoot, which means your first shot will always hit the hardest. Keep that in mind when you’re choosing your weapon!
That makes a lot of sense! I was using Reverse Furious with a high fire rate gun, and I couldn’t figure out why my damage was dropping. Guess I need to rethink my setup.
Furious allows you to get up to 20 stacks based on how fast you’re firing. With Reverse Furious, you gain stacks over time but lose them with each shot. It’s particularly useful if you’re trying to set up for a major hit right at the start of a battle. Just pay attention to your fire rate!
Thanks for the clarity! I now realize I should save Reverse Onslaught for specific situations instead of using it all the time.
