Aug Evil Amp

Hey,

I’m trying to think if/when a mod evil outperforms the L mayhem alpha amps. They both do 45 DMG and have 75% Efficiency - wash.
The mayhem gives you some Life steal but lets ignore that for now.

I can usually do math but right now its failing me. The question is: Is the Aug Evil better, if so, why. If not, at what mayhem amp MU does it become better. Here are some calculations:

Basically the Aug Evil has less dpp, so after 52632 shots, when a mayhem alpha breaks, i have done the same amount of dmg with both but the evil cost me 5070 Ped and the Alpha amp 4999.54. So thats one for the mayhem amp. But then I need to repair the evil for 315.79 Ped, which I wouldnt need to do with the mayhem Alpha. I could UniAmmo that 315Ped Shrapnel and get 3.15 Ped in ammo, so free MU? Alphas cost around that in MU.

So if I can get Alphas for 13, they are better in all aspects, if I get them for 14 I spend 1 Ped for some 70ish Ped saved in cost to kill (which at 95% return is another 3.5 ped)? So everything under 18 Ped MU its better to get Alphas? Thats ignoring the 2% life steal which, maybe could be worth a few Peds.

This doesnt feel right AT ALL! I messed up the math i think. Can someone help?

Cheers

same eff
unlim → saving mu on amps, no lifestill, slightly less eco (even better when shrapnel mu is higher than oils mu)
lim → lifesteel, no 10k locked in item that lost some value in time

Your math is on point throughout. At no point is the Aug Evil ever going to be better to use over the Mayhem Alpha. With the Mayhem B-Amp Alpha having 140% MU, its only 10 PED TT, so 4 PED MU. Brings up your total cost per amp to 5266.67 on the Mayhem vs 5336.88 on the Aug Evil for the same amount of shots.

Aug evig only makes sense if MA ever makes it upgradeable to perf evil (I would prefer Totally Evil), and the latter having better eff and dpp vs cheap mayhem amps

As someone that was using Mayhem Beta amps for my bp-110 before the aug evil came out. I switched as fast as i could as it would be come a pain to have to try and find a amp when it broke. There were times where i couldn’t find a amp at all. Maybe this has gotten better since the aug evil was released, since i am def not buying any mayhem amps anymore. But this was the reason for my switch to aug evil at the time as well as the mu on the mayhem amps back then was closer to 280 - 350% if i remember correctly.

If you have a steady supply of mayhem amps you can use I guess it would be your best bet, but if the supply runs dry be ready to start hunting for a new amp when you run out :slight_smile:

5 years of bp-130 and about 1 and a half years with glinting - i think i hunted about 3 days with unlimited amps and all the other times with mayhem l amps beta/gamma breaking around 2 a day - never had supply issues and mu on the blp amps was always alot more competitive then the laser options but especially in the last 2 years practically became a no brainer

Thank you all for your input.

I guess I was on to something but it still feels surprising, that the answer is L in this case. Good to know!
