2. ⚠️ Weapons You Should NEVER Use with the Kinetic Converter & Inefficient Weapons
· **Weapons You Should NEVER Use:**
· Phero (Pharaoh): Has only one bullet in the magazine, so the fire rate increase effect does not apply.
· Osprey (Osprey): Requires a reload animation after firing, so you cannot properly benefit from the fire rate increase effect.
· **Weapons to Avoid Using (Require Burst Fire or Rapid Tapping):**
· Kettle (Kettle), Arpeggio (Arpeggio), Volcano (Volcano), Aphelion (Aphelion): Due to manual firing or burst fire mechanics, the effect of the Kinetic Converter may be minimal or non-existent. There is a possibility of reduced efficiency due to player input errors.
· **Recommended Weapons (Fully Automatic Fire):**
· Rattler (Rattler), Stitcher (Stitcher), Torrent (Torrent), Renegade (Renegade), Kanto (Kanto), Betina (Betina), Bobcat (Bobcat), Hullcracker (Hullcracker), Il Toro (Il Toro - especially against Matriarchs): Fully automatic weapons can stably benefit from the Kinetic Converter's effect, with less chance of efficiency reduction due to errors.
· In PvP situations, any fully automatic weapon with the Kinetic Converter equipped can see a slight time reduction effect. Additionally, since weapon attachments can be changed in real-time in the game, it is recommended to utilize them according to the situation.

3. 💯 100% Recommended! Hullcracker and Kinetic Converter Combo
· Hullcracker (Hullcracker) performs exceptionally well when used with the Kinetic Converter.
· Especially in PvE environments, if you can play without dying to ARC, you can enjoy the Hullcracker's increased fire rate effect almost permanently.
· The video creator stated that they have run multiple raids with the Hullcracker equipped with the Kinetic Converter and experienced satisfactory performance, and will continue to use it.
