Question about the Steampunk Pack

Does anyone know if the 'remarkable reliable rifle' can replace the pulse rifle for robotic masterminds?

If anyone knows this, or has the pack and could test it out I would deeply appreciate it! Thank you for your time.

That would be a yes. It works.

It can.

EDIT: Damn you, Hyperstrike.

Just an FYI, if you don't already have the pack, it's too late to get it. You'll have to wait for I21 and get the pieces that way.

I'm aware, but thank you.

Will it be possible to get the entire pack for 10 dollars (or less) though?

Also, thank you to the people who answered my question!

No, from what Posi said on one of the uStreams, buying everything thatwas in a Booster Pack will cost more than buying the Booster Pack. The benefit of buying it piece-by-piece is that you can buy only the pieces you need, and possibly spend less by skipping unwanted parts.

That's kind of disappointing.

I have one last question, if anyone has access to the beta server and could test this for me. (or simply already knows)

Will this same rifle be able to be used for the Beam Rifle Powerset? Thank you again for your help.

Really? Even if you use your monthly stipend of 400 (or 550) PPs and eventually get as much of the entire pack as you want at no additional out-of-pocket cost to you?

With all due respect it doesn't change the fact that it still costs more than it used to. Maybe not though, if I skip the stuff out of it that I do not plan on using.

I'm not here to complain about stuff though... I am probably going to be buying beam rifle and hover board on day one anyways, and I'm sure that will more than use up any paragon points I have.

I just want to know if I can use the rifle with beam rifle at this point in time.

The devs have also stated that there WILL be package-pricing, and of course periodic sales, so it's possible that it won't be higher (or much higher) for even the entire bundle if purchased at once.

I tried getting on to Beta to test that for you, but the server is down at the moment, apparently. I'll try later.

Pretty sure I remember seeing it as an option for beam rifle, but as Eric said the beta server is down, so I can't confirm that.

Buying everything from what used to be a Booster Pack will cost considerably more than what the pack originally called (except the Party Pack). As much as three times as much, if purchased piecemeal. There will be collections of items/costumes, possibly even to include the whole shebang, but they aren't on the market yet in beta... and it's not likely to cost the same as it did before.

This is based on the current beta prices, which they have already said are not going to be the live prices, for most items. We do not know how much anything will cost when Freedom goes live.

They said at the PAX panel (I was there, this isn't secondhand rumors) that buying all of the contents of a pack will be more expensive on the Market. So I'm not holding my breath for the prices to come down very far.

Actually, it doesn't cost you anything if you don't buy any points over your 400 a month. It's actually free.

Yes, it is a beam rifle option.
