Forum:Xenotech Expert - Affects Assault Rifles?

So after I found out from the MZ page that for some reason, the DLC improves Assault Rifles and Chinese Assault Rifle's damage, I tried to figure out why.

After thinking about it, I realised that the Destabilizer had roughly the same firing rate as the Assault Rifle, which has the same firing rate as the Chinese Assault Rifle, I figured that during a mix up with the perk Xenotech Expert.

Taking into account that it's hotkey is for some reason the Small Gun's symbol, I figured that it is possible that the Destabilizer is marked as an Assault Rifle of kinds. So when you get the Xenotech Expert, there may have been a mix up. The game may have thought that the Destabilizer, the Assault Rifle and the Chinese Assault Rifle are one in the same. So when you get the perk, it adds +20% to all three instead of just the Destabilizer.

It seems like a sound theory to me. What are your thoughts?

 * Aren't all Alien weapons marked in the GECK as "Alien"? If so, then the Xenotech perk would only affect them and this would be a different glitch. //--TehK (tok) 20:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

That would be a sound point, besides the fact that for some reason the Xenotech Expert does not affect the Electro-Suppressor or the Captain's Sidearm. These are also marked as "Alien" in the GECK. So, the perk must be assigned to weapons in some other way.

I just checked it out in the GECK, and the damage increase really shouldn't effect anything that isn't on a pretty specific list. Imp of the Perverse 05:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

It says on the page for Xenotech Expert that it effects all weapons. Extremofire 18:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
